“Seamless process”

Ellissa A.
7/27/24

I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume. I was worried that it would be difficult for my writer to create a cohesive whole, but Allen did a phenomenal job. Drafts were sent quickly, he was so communicative and helpful, and we completed the process by draft 2 and ahead of schedule. I highly recommend this service.

“Save your money, it's a scam”

I regret wasting my money on their "service". There are no "professional writers" on the platform - someone takes the CV you provide them as a starting point, puts it through ChatGPT and send you whatever it regurgitates. The second Draft they created was even worse.

I purchased their "executive" service to keyword-optimise my resume. I successfully used my resume format for 20 years, but I figured out that with the new automated tools used by recruiters I may need a confirmation and maybe some touch-ups.

Not only that you only get a week with the writer (not disclosed prior to purchase) and because it takes in average 2 days for each interaction so at max you get a draft, a chance to review and a final version - like it or not.

Moreover, I had major concerns over the new version - not only that it looked like a MS Word template but it had obvious copy/paste text that had nothing to do with my actual experience! I asked to run it again through the applicant tracking systems (ATS) to compare with the initial assessment (that convinced me to purchase their services) but I was told that only Customer Service can do that - so how is the writer "keyword optimising" the resume with no access to ATS?

Moreover, their customer service is extremely bad - not only that it takes 2-3 days to respond back, but they also just repeat the same platitudes over and over again. I asked to run again the resume through ATS but it took 3 weeks (and countless messages) to finally get something in writing.

Now, in their free initial assessment my initial resume read as "57% IT, 16% Finance and 28% Other Industries" - reasonably correct based on my actual experience. After the "professional" re-write my "experience appears to be concentrated in Finance / Real Estate & Facilities, with exposure to Information Technology / Architecture" - and I NEVER worked in real estate nor facilities!

Lastly, the "professional LinkedIn profile" included in the executive service was a copy/paste from resume into corresponding LinkedIn areas - when their own best practices published on their own site clearly state that this is the worst thing you can do! When I raised this I was responded "tell us what you want there and we'll write it as such" - so why did they take my money then, to put on paper what I tell them? I can do that myself, why would I need a "professional" for this?

All in one, it was a complete waste of time and money and received absolutely no value from their services - it's better to just use an MS Word resume template and fill in the sections yourself.

Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time and money!
