Golden Key International Honour Society’s Global CV Writing Partner
CVs that get you noticed when experience alone does not.
Global leaders in executive CV and résumé writing since 2006, and a full professional writing and branding firm, from career documents to company profiles, business plans, tenders and websites.
CVs and résumés written by human writers with 20+ years’ experience.
Why experience, on its own, rarely wins the interview.
A surprising number of exceptionally talented professionals are screened out before a human eye sees their CV. It lists generic duties instead of proving quantifiable impact, hiding the person and the achievements a recruiter would have stopped for.
Hiring has certainly changed. Applicant tracking software does the first cut, overloaded recruiters skim what’s left, and the senior decision-makers you want to reach see only the handful that survive both. Now add a flood of AI-written clones that read like carbon copies, and a CV that worked five years ago is competing in a very different game.
Every client is treated as an Executive.
This is not a data-capturing service, and it is not standardised templates for quick results. Each CV is carefully re-written to the highest professional standard, personalised around measurable results and the value you create at the level you are aiming for. That reframing is deliberate, and it is what we have done for our clients since 2006.
We also keep your CV on record for life. When you need an update, email us your changes and we amend it for an admin fee based on the amount of new information, so your professional story is always current and always secure. What follows is how that work is done, who it is for, and what it has meant for the people who have trusted us with it.
Signature formats, written for you.
Every CV is written from scratch around your career. Sample content is blurred to protect our clients.
Written with AI? Make it sound like you again.
Recruiters recognise AI-written CVs in seconds: the same buzzwords, the same sentence shapes, the same vague claims. Our AI CV Detox keeps what works in your current CV, humanises the wording so it reads as you, and optimises its structure and keywords for Applicant Tracking Systems.
Signs your CV needs a detox
- Generic phrasing“Dynamic”, “results driven” and “leveraged” with no evidence behind them.
- Duties instead of impactResponsibilities listed, results missing.
- No sense of youA summary that could belong to anyone in your field.
- Formatting that trips ATSTemplate layouts screening software cannot read cleanly.
Two disciplines, one standard of excellence.

The client's account They did not just format a document. They elevated my entire professional narrative. Since they reworked my CV I have seen a noticeable increase in responses from companies and agencies, real traction, real interviews, and real hope. The CV they delivered was sharp, strategic and tailored to the industries I am targeting. It gave me the confidence to apply for roles knowing I am represented at my best.
What clients tell us afterwards.
As a result of their work I was shortlisted for an interview and eventually appointed to the role. Their response time and professional conduct throughout were amazing.
Refilwe MokanseAfter being retrenched following a 21-year career I was overwhelmed by where to begin. They guided me every step of the way and the result truly captured my skills and strengths.
Sunet HanekomI keep my CV updated with them at least once a year, and doors keep opening for me. I saw my own worth reflected through new eyes.

The questions professionals ask first.
What services does CV Profs offer?
Two things. Career services for individuals: professional and executive CVs, résumés, cover and motivational letters, professional biographies and LinkedIn profiles. And business services: company profiles, business plans, proposals, turnkey tenders, websites and brand collateral. Ask for a free assessment or a quote and we will point you to the right one.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the service, your career level and the scope of work, from a single professional CV to a full executive branding package or a business document suite. Request a free assessment or a quote and we will recommend the right option with clear pricing before any work begins.
How long does it take?
Most CVs and résumés are completed within five to seven working days after your on-boarding process. Business documents such as company profiles and tenders are quoted with their own timeline. Our express schedule accommodates urgent requests at extra cost.
Will my CV pass ATS screening software?
Yes. Every CV is structured for Applicant Tracking Systems with clean formatting and relevant keywords, while still reading beautifully for a human recruiter.
Do you write CVs for international applications?
Yes. We prepare CVs formatted for South African, UK, European, Middle Eastern and Canadian markets, adjusting length, structure and terminology to local expectations. Our globally accepted formats also meet immigration and work-visa requirements.
Do you help businesses, not just individuals?
Yes. Alongside career documents we produce company profiles, business plans, proposals, turnkey tenders, websites and brand collateral, with integrated graphic design, for businesses that need to win contracts, investors and market share.
What makes CV Profs different from an AI or template builder?
We combine human writers and strategists with 20 years of experience, positioning your story around real impact rather than generic phrasing. Every document is written to standard in Oxford (UK) or US English, checked for plagiarism, and never templated.
What is 60-Day CV Aftercare?
60-Day CV Aftercare is included with our Full CV Service. If your new CV hasn’t secured an interview within 60 days of on-boarding, let us know within that period and send us the positions you applied for. If they match the focus of the CV we wrote, our after-sales team will tweak your documents at no extra cost. Terms apply.
