What you get
Our executive CV writing service delivers a concise CV, usually two pages of A4, that proves your scope, results and board readiness, written to UK conventions. Changing sector at senior level? See our career change CV writing service.
A personal profile that leads with scope
The top third of page one states your level, sector and scale (P&L, turnover, headcount, geography), so a headhunter can match you to their brief at a glance.
Achievements in the language boards use
Career highlights quantified the way boards measure leaders: revenue and EBITDA growth, margin, cost reduction, integration savings and transformation delivered, never a list of duties.
A format headhunters read fast
Two pages of A4, reverse-chronological career history and early roles condensed, with no photo, date of birth or references: the UK format search consultants expect to forward to their clients.
Board and NED experience, set out properly
Non-executive, trustee and committee roles (audit, remuneration, nomination, risk) presented as governance experience, ready for NED shortlists and nomination committees.
Listed, PE-backed and regulated settings
FTSE 100, FTSE 250, AIM, private equity-backed and public sector experience described in the right governance terms, including Senior Managers Regime responsibilities for FCA and PRA-regulated firms.
ATS-optimised for UK employers
A clean single-column layout with the exact titles and keywords from your target roles, so your CV reads correctly in applicant tracking systems and search firms’ candidate databases.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an executive CV writer cost in the UK?
Our executive CV packages cost £129, £169 or £299. Starter Pack covers an expert-written, ATS-optimised CV. Career Growth adds a tailored cover letter and our 45-day interview guarantee. Executive Priority adds a LinkedIn profile rewrite and a first draft within 3 working days, which suits C-suite and board candidates running a time-sensitive search.
How long should an executive CV be in the UK?
Two pages of A4 is the standard for a UK executive CV. A third page only suits a long C-suite or board career. We lead with your personal profile and key achievements, give most space to recent senior roles, and condense earlier positions so headhunters see your relevance quickly.
What is the difference between an executive CV and a NED CV?
An executive CV sells delivery: P&L ownership, growth, transformation and the teams you have led. A non-executive director (NED) CV sells judgement and governance: board and committee experience, oversight of strategy and risk, and the sector or functional insight you would bring to a board. Many senior candidates need both.
Should I include a photo or date of birth on an executive CV?
No. UK CVs leave out photos, date of birth and marital status at every level, and age is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. We also leave references off the CV itself, because search firms and employers ask for them later in the process.
How do headhunters and executive search firms use my CV?
Search consultants compare your CV against their client’s brief, checking scope, sector, scale and track record before deciding whether to approach you or put you forward. Your CV may then be shared with the client alongside the consultant’s own notes, so it must make your case clearly without you in the room.
Do executive CVs need to be ATS-friendly in the UK?
Yes. Many UK employers and search firms store CVs in applicant tracking systems or candidate databases that are searched by job title and keyword. We use a clean single-column layout and the exact terms your target roles use, so your CV is found and read correctly by both software and people.
How long does an executive CV take to write?
Your first draft arrives within 3 to 5 working days, or within 3 working days on Executive Priority. You then review it with your writer and request changes through free revisions, so your CV is ready for headhunters, search firms and direct applications.
Does the executive package include a cover letter and LinkedIn profile?
It depends on the package. Career Growth (£169) adds a tailored cover letter and a 45-day interview guarantee: if you receive no interview invitations within 45 days, we revise your CV free. Executive Priority (£299) adds a LinkedIn profile rewrite, so headhunters researching you online find a profile that matches your CV.
