CV Suite is built around professionals with backgrounds in recruitment, HR, executive search, CV writing, and specialist industries. We spent years on the other side, reading CVs, making shortlisting decisions, running interview processes, before turning that experience into a service that reflects how hiring actually works in practice.

You may know us as CV People. We traded as CV People UK and CV People Ireland for over a decade, helping more than 20,000 professionals across both markets at every stage of their careers, from graduates writing their first CV to FTSE directors repositioning for board roles. CV Suite is our new brand, but we have the same team and the same high standards.

We tell clients what their CV actually needs, not what they want to hear. A CV that doesn't get you shortlisted isn't worth having. That's why every project starts with a proper conversation about your career, your goals, and what you want next. Anyone can reformat a CV. The value is in understanding how to position your experience for the roles you're actually targeting.

We're based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and serve clients across the UK and Ireland. We don't use offshore writers, automated tools, or template-filling services. Every CV is written by an experienced professional, reviewed internally before it reaches you, and backed by unlimited revisions within your original brief.

The Team

The people behind your CV.

Our writers come from a range of backgrounds: recruitment, HR, careers advice, industry, and professional writing. What they share is a genuine understanding of what makes a CV work, a desire to help our clients progress their careers, and real experience in the sectors they write for.
