Upload your CV below and a senior recruiter will review it personally. Free, confidential, and with no obligation to buy anything.
Every CV we review is assessed from two distinct perspectives – the way a recruiter reads it, and the way technology filters it. Both have to work. Most free CV reviews are automated: an AI tool scans your document, generates a score, and sends you a generic report that could apply to anyone. Ours is different. Every CV submitted to The CV Squad is reviewed by a senior recruiter with 25+ years of hiring experience – a real person, reading your actual CV, and giving you honest, specific feedback on exactly what is working and what is holding you back. No algorithms. No templates. No obligation to buy anything.
With 25+ years in recruitment, we review your CV the way a hiring manager does - fast, critical, and with a clear idea of what they are looking for. We assess how quickly and clearly your value comes across, whether the structure makes sense for your career stage and target roles, and whether a recruiter could confidently champion you to a client or hiring team based on what is on the page. Most CVs fail this test not because the experience is weak, but because it is not presented in a way that lands in seconds.
The volume of online applications has made manual screening impossible for most employers. Hiring teams now use ATS and AI screening technology to filter CVs before a recruiter ever reads them. If your CV is not structured, formatted, and keyword-aligned to pass these systems, it is almost guaranteed to be filtered out - regardless of how strong your experience is. Your CV is no longer just a personal document. It is a technical one. We check it against both requirements and tell you exactly where it is falling short.
Drop your current CV into the form above — PDF, Word, any common format.
Your CV is matched to a senior recruiter with direct experience in your sector.
Specific, honest feedback on structure, language, ATS fit and overall impact.
Use our feedback yourself or let us rewrite your CV. No pressure either way.
Whether your CV clearly communicates the roles you are targeting and positions your experience to match them.
Whether your structure, formatting, and keywords meet the requirements of the automated systems most employers now use.
Whether your key strengths are surfaced quickly and clearly, or buried in a format that loses a hiring manager in the first ten seconds.
Whether your most relevant, recent experience is front and centre, and whether older or less relevant content is holding your CV back.
Whether your achievements are presented as results and impact, or as a list of duties that tell a hiring manager nothing about what you actually delivered.
