“As everyone has mentioned before, it's a total scam. ChatGPT is more honest with its writing and coherent with the response than their so called human writers. The cover letter is basically written by ChatGPT 3 not even 4. It's a total joke, waisted my money and I wish someone would take them to court for this sort of scam or Google could put them at the bottom of their search engine.”
“Don't waste your time and money, they are good at marketing for themselves but at the level of writing CV and advice on the executive level they are awful.”
“TopCV and TopResume appear to be a sophisticated scam. After repeated requests to rewrite what was originally provided, with terrible formatting and entirely incorrect wording, I kept getting the same rubbish back from TopCV.
I’ve asked for a full refund, and they are refusing - apparently on basis that they don’t give refunds even if job is terrible, and it’s after the ‘final draft’ was delivered some time ago - despite me repeatedly seeking at least a minimal improvement.”
“The worst! I have noylt had any interview in 3 months I used CV from them!!! After re-do CV I had 2 interviews in a week! Terrible. When I asked for a refund, they ignored me!”
“They took £50 from my account a month after they completed my CV and cover letter. I initially paid over £200 for their service and there was no mention of a monthly subscription or further costs. Complete scam and they will not respond to my messages to get my money back. Do not trust them, they will steal your money once they have your bank account details. I am now having to wait for my bank to investigate in order to get my money back.”
“I purchased their Executive Priority CV Writing Package and, if I could give negative stars for their output, I would.
My job hunt went from daily phone calls from agencies to zero phone calls from anyone after I uploaded my CV updated by TopCV.
I have since gone back to distributing my old CV and the phone has gone crazy.
They obviously do not understand how agencies search for candidates using an Applicant Tracking System.
AVOID and save and spend your money elsewhere.”
“TopCV is a scam - don't fall for the positive, robotic and scripted reviews on the major sites.
Basically they reformat whatever you give them to what an Instagram influencer would produce. They do not have expert writers in your space. They don't know what is required. When you call them out, they give highly scripted and robotic answers and will completely ignore you. You can not trust what they produce - even worse, you might not spot what rules they violate if you are not experienced. Get a professional CV writer in your space. Do not go use this website.”
“I payed 350euro plus 100 euro for interview that I can't reschedule before 4 days. 7 days for edit CV- in 7 days they didn't edit even one time!! This company must be reported and not working anymore on internet. I regret I didn't searched for reviews before I pay all this big money!! I asked for a call and they charge me with 50euro/30 minutes. This is incredible for all money I paid.
they are some thieves! I take your money and answer your emails once a day!!!!!!!!!!!
DONT PAY to this company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Title: Unfulfilled Expectations and Unprofessional Experience
Review: I regret to report that my experience with TopCV was less than satisfactory. Despite paying £175 for a comprehensive service that promised a CV, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter overhaul, the service I received fell short of expectations.
The process was marred by delayed responses and a lack of professionalism from the CV writers. The first writer merely copy-pasted my suggestions without showing any understanding of my profile or English proficiency. The second writer disappeared for a week without notice, and the third only lightly formatted what had already been done.
To add to my disappointment, despite paying for a LinkedIn service, my profile was ignored. Moreover, I encountered an administrative issue where I had to prove I had paid for a senior CV writer service, indicating a lack of proper record-keeping.
Although I ended up with a satisfactory cover letter, the overall experience was frustrating and time-consuming, having taken over a month and numerous emails. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend TopCV based on this experience, and I won't be utilizing their services again. I award them 2/5 stars as I did receive some product for my payment, but the poor service and lack of professionalism were disheartening.”
“Disatisfied with my results! I tracked the CV prepared by them in ATS tracker and reched 37 out of 100 which the CV prepared by me reached 33!
These people are not skilled professionals able to provide you the best results.”
“This company does not even deserve 1 star. I wish I had seen all the reviews below before I had wasted £219 of my own hard earned money. There is nothing else I can add to what has already been said other than: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SIGN UP TO THIS SERVICE. Every other review matches my experience, and it's really clear that this service is not by English speaking people or CV experts, let alone this with any discernible credentials - there are significant spelling errors, verb tense errors and completely ludicrous, indeed, I would go as far as imbecilic, inept application of the information given. The only emotion apart from crying about money NOT WELL SPENT, is laughter at the sheer immorality, avarice and all out gall of this company to exploit people. I feel robbed and ashamed that I put my trust into both Reed.co.uk who suggested this and TopCV itself. I am truly disgusted by this parasitic, predatory company. There is a special place in hell for these people.”
“I'm not happy with my results.
I don't feel that any incredible changes were made to my CV, only the structure was changed and a few things were reworded by replacing them with synonyms of what I had already written.
I don't feel any more confident about my CV than when I submitted it. Which is saddening, and it's been very time-consuming (and not exactly cheap for me as a South African).
DON'T DO IT!”
“This is a complete scam - they have significant legal text essentially saying they're service terms and promise's are a lie- they bait you with a fake CV review and then they'll take 7 weeks to produce work that is incoherent empty nonsense and then refuse to give you a refund and try and pass you writer to writer and 4 days to respond to each email
This is a complete scam and joke of a company don't do it”
“This company is scam, the ceo avoids any emails.
The most disappointing service that scams people looking for work.
Notify your bank if they refuse to refund you. BANKS SHOULD BLOCK THIS COMPANY.
Ceo of this company is Hieu Tran he heads up the scam.”
“Very obviously not experts, looks like some sort of very basic A.I.
Used bogus stats
Feedback was incorrect
The person who allegedly did the feedback was not on LinkedIn
All the people on LinkedIn were based in Vietnam etc (meant to be a Uk company)
It’s a shame that people will use them to do their cv.
Preying on people who may be desperate to find a job. Quite synical. This actually affects people’s lives.
Should be ashamed of themselves”
