Our founder & Chief CV Writer Steve Wyeth has worked in recruitment & HR since 2002, in which he founded SDW Recruitment Ltd, a leading & well-respected recruiter to the logistics & shipping industry.
Over the 20+ years since, Steve has seen thousands of CVs, and although he is experienced in digging deep, spending time and extracting the information he is looking for in potential applicants, he is fully aware that hiring managers spend an average of only 7 seconds reading a CV & deciding whether a candidate goes on the all-important shortlist or not.
A lot of big companies have invested in ATS tracking systems which search only for keywords and there are many AI tools coming on the market, which are very set in their selection criteria – so you could be the best candidate for the job, but if your CV is not portraying that – you won’t even be selected for an interview.
Steve feels that is now important as ever to have a professionally written CV which clearly showcases your skills, experience, achievements and of course your aspirations & career goals. This is why he launched Top Dog CV as a sister company to SDW, to offer an affordable CV writing service for all, not just top executives but for any level & for any job role.
Steve himself still actively recruits and has managed successful recruitment campaigns for global companies such as Maersk, EV Cargo, DB Schenker & DP World, having managed recruitment projects and leading interview panels so he certainly knows a thing or two about CVs & the hiring process. So, you know you can trust the expertise & advice Steve brings to the table.
Steve writes many of the CVs for customers himself and if he hasn’t crafted it personally, he will review & check it before it is presented to a customer. Plus, be assured you can always contact him directly via email steve.wyeth@topdogcv.com or via LinkedIn for a personal response.
