Are you searching for a free CV review that really helps, especially if you're returning to work? At ivee, our tailored service supports returners, but it’s open to everyone who wants to upgrade their CV with expert feedback at no cost.
Why choose a free CV review?
- Understand if you actually need a full rewrite or just tweaks: A free review can clarify whether minor edits will do the trick, and save money compared to paid writing services.
- Make your CV stand out quickly: Industry experts confirm CVs get just seconds of attention, so your layout, keywords, and achievements must be excellent from the start.
- Get noticed by applicant tracking systems (ATS): Many free reviews from UK services include ATS compatibility checks. This helps ensure your CV isn’t filtered out automatically before human eyes see it (similar to systems used by TopCV, Reed, etc.).
What makes ivee’s free CV review unique?
📌 Hybrid CV format: Ideal for returners and career changers
Rather than emphasising gaps, our hybrid CV format leads with top skills and achievements. This approach reduces bias and helps returners reframe breaks as strengths – aligned with ivee’s best practice advice
✨ Actionable, AI-fluent feedback
You’ll receive clear, conversational advice guided by current hiring filters, including language optimised for ATS and recruiter scanning.
👩💼 Expert human review
Unlike many services offering generic, automated feedback, our review is delivered by advisors familiar with return-to-work challenges in the current UK labour market.
What happens in a free CV review with ivee?
Is the CV review really free?
Yes. Our personal CV review is completely free. You’ll get honest, expert feedback on whether your CV should be overhauled, reformatted, or is already fit for purpose. We don’t store your CV or use it for anything other than the review
Key tips to make the most of a free CV review
- Keep it to one page (two at most) and use bullet points for easy scanning.
- Quantify achievements to show impact instead of just responsibility.
- Use a hybrid CV layout if you have a break in employment.
- Apply even if you meet around 70% of the job spec, not waiting for perfection.
- Reframe career breaks by emphasising transferable skills and achievements during that time.
Suitable for…
