Our Sales Director CV Writing Service Overview

There are essentially four elements to our Sales Director CV Service. Firstly, there is a Combined Sales Director CV and LinkedIn Profile Writing Service as part of a special offer bundle deal. The bundle deal allows sales directors to save 30% on standard advertised prices (if sold separately). This saving is passed on because we are dealing with both the CV and LinkedIn elements at the same time. Secondly, the bundle deal is designed to provide the basis to begin a structured job search by including an extended consultation and a value-added recruiter engagement email (or cover letter as needed).

Thirdly, the extended consultation offers a more engaged approach which no AI-generation tool can action. It takes up to 2 hours of your time to go through your career, elevate leadership credential, scope quantifiable achievements, industry expertise, commercial impact, value-added skills and talking points for the CV. The engaged approach allows us to dive deeper, draw-out key information and deliver a better result aligned with target roles and industry sectors. Fourthly, there is a CV finalisation process at the end for peace of mind to make any adjustments. This is before moving onto the LinkedIn profile and recruiter engagement email (if ordered as part of the bundle deal). As an added dimension, we offer optional add-on services relating to personal branding (director-level biography option), executive coaching, leadership development and career management solutions.

Best Practice ATS-Friendly CV Writing Services

One question we always get asked if whether our CVs are ATS-friendly. Of course, this is the case, where we apply best practices to give candidates a greater chance of getting past the applicant tracking systems (ATS). This is not a precise science as there are still many variables involved as ATS algorithms are never perfect and it depends on how the recruiter or employer calibrates ATS systems for each specific role. Equally, job searches should never be totally reliant on an algorithm for roles as there is always a human element, contacts networks executive search firms and LinkedIn tools to give a balanced job hunting approach.

Regarding ATS-friendly CV documents, we always use a minimalist CV format because the ATS systems must parse (process) CVs and information in a particular way. The minimalist CV format avoids over-complicated layouts with no columns, no text boxes, no tables and non-compliant fonts. We also ensure relevant section headings are used alongside strategic keyword placement and quantifiable achievements aligned to target roles and job descriptions. At CVEXEC.UK, we are constantly evolving our approach to reflect search firm expectations and the growing emergence of ATS systems to automate recruitment processes.
