Our clients consistently land senior leadership roles at Australia's leading firms.

Why most existing CVs fail to get traction in today's hyper-competitive market.

Most executive transitions fail for the same reason - not because the leader lacks experience, but because their positioning isn’t immediately clear in the 2026 crowded, risk-averse market.

Your unique value proposition isn’t obvious​

Decision-makers should understand who you are, what level you operate at, and why you matter - within seconds. Most executive CVs bury this behind career history, titles, and dense summaries.

Your positioning doesn’t match how executives are hired

Senior roles aren’t filled by keyword matching alone. When your CV reads like a senior management resume - rather than an executive profile - it fails to resonate with search firms, boards, and CEOs.

The structure of your resume creates friction

Too much text on page one. No clear hierarchy. Enterprise impact and leadership scope hidden instead of surfaced. If a reader has to “work” to find your value, they won’t.

Your resume isn’t built for how senior stakeholders read

Executives and search consultants scan, not read. If your resume isn’t instantly scannable, commercially framed, and outcome-led, it gets skipped - regardless of how strong your background is.

Your messaging doesn’t reflect what the market cares about in 2026

The executive job market has shifted. Boards and CEOs are hiring for risk, delivery, and enterprise impact - not tenure, task lists, or legacy achievements. Even strong leaders underperform when their resume doesn’t align with current decision-making priorities.

The good news?

 

We've transitioned over 30,000 senior leaders globally since 2011. Our dedicated team of executive resume writers and transition coaches are one click away.

Free strategy consultation. Zero obligation.

If any of this sounds familiar we can help!

Recruiters have quietly disengaged.
Your resume got acknowledged, filed… and forgotten. Follow-up calls now go unanswered, emails get polite non-responses, and you've slowly realised you’re no longer being actively represented - you’re just “on file.”

Your network has stoped working.
Former sponsors, peers, and referrers said they’ll “keep an eye out,” but nothing materialised. Warm introductions dried up, credibility faded with time, and relationships that once opened doors lead nowhere.

You’ve entered the public job market.
With no traction through search, referrals or outreach, you fell back on publicly advertised roles. Quick Apply has become the default - putting you into the same funnel as hundreds of other candidates.​

Six months in and confidence has eroded
Auto-rejections, silence, and generic emails pile up. You've started questioning your relevance, lowering expectations, and wondering how a proven executive ended up invisible in the market.

How we reposition you, get you traction in the market, and get you hired for the roles you actually want.

A structured, executive-led process designed for precision, credibility, and market impact.

Why work with CV People™ and how are we different to a standard CV writing service?

At senior level, the difference isn’t the document itself. It’s the clarity behind it and the credibility it creates with decision-makers.

Our approach is designed to stand up to scrutiny from executive search firms, boards, and CEOs - not just recruiters or ATS systems.

Work 1:1 via video call with an executive resume writer & transition coach

You work directly with a senior executive resume writer & transition coach from day one - no unqualified freelance writers, no AI, no templates. This matters because senior leadership moves aren’t linear, and positioning the transition correctly is often the difference between being shortlisted and being overlooked.

Still guessing & rehashing your old resume? The delay could cost you thousands.

Every week spent without traction in the executive job market is a week of lost income, lost momentum, and missed opportunities. For most senior leaders, a single week’s salary far exceeds the investment in our services - yet some continue to delay, rewrite, and second-guess their positioning for months on end. By partnering with CV People™ you accelerate your job search, sharpen your value proposition, and reduce time-to-placement - often by months. The return on investment? Exponential.

Accelerated senior leadership transitions.

Brian - CEO Transition - Tech - 2025

The Situation

After exiting a high-growth technology scale-up, this CEO expected his track record to generate strong demand but instead he found the market unusually quiet. Executive search firms went silent, networks failed to convert into opportunities, and most roles available were publicly advertised positions that did not reflect his true seniority. Despite a strong record of delivery, the lack of response created uncertainty about how they were being perceived at CEO level.

Our Approach

We stepped back from the documents and focused first on clarity. Through structured consultation, we defined a clear value proposition centred on enterprise leadership, growth strategy, investor outcomes and scale readiness, then rebuilt his CV, LinkedIn profile, executive bio and outreach materials around a single, consistent leadership story written for how search firms and boards assess CEO candidates. We also refined interview messaging so the client could lead conversations confidently and communicate impact without over-explaining.

Client Outcome

Within 10 weeks, the client was shortlisted for two CEO roles and progressed to final-stage interviews for both, with engagement from executive search firms resuming quickly. The client accepted a CEO appointment with a £26,000 salary uplift, reflecting a change in how their leadership value was positioned and understood rather than a change in capability.

Brian's Feedback

“I came into this process frustrated and unsure why the market wasn’t responding to my experience. The work we did brought real clarity, not just to my CV and LinkedIn, but to how I talk about my leadership and value. The positioning changed the quality of conversations I was having almost immediately, and the outcome speaks for itself. I’d recommend this service to any senior leader who knows they have the experience but isn’t being seen for it.”
