Exec-Level Roles – Investment ‘V’ Reward

If you’re targeting £100k-£200k roles, winging it isn’t an option at this level.

UK Executive & CV Rejection Stats

ATS Rejection Rates in the UK

  • Up to 70% of CVs are filtered out by ATS before human eyes even see them – a common estimate among UK executive CV services
  • Generally, 50-70% of CVs are discarded via ATS screening in high-level applications

Hiring Manager Insights (UK)

  • A CV review by CV Genius involving 625 UK hiring managers (April-May 2024) found:
    • 65% would reject candidates due to poor formatting.
    • Recruiters typically spend an average of 2 minutes 17 seconds, with 31% spending over 3 minutes per CV
  • Additionally, a Robert Walters UK survey found that 86% of UK job hunters feel their applications are ignored

Tailoring Matters

  • A UK poll of 625 hiring authorities in 2024 revealed that 65% of CVs are rejected purely because they are not tailored to the job in question

Why This Matters for Exec-Level Roles

  • At senior levels, roles often attract hundreds of applicants, with maybe 4-6 people interviewed per position – meaning over 95% of applicants get rejected .
  • Even small missteps in formatting, errors, or tone can lead to dismissal – 65% of UK recruiters reject CVs for poor layout alone.

The Bottom Line

  • ATS screening filters out half to over two-thirds of executive CVs.
  • Poor formatting, generic tone and lack of tailoring are fast-track routes to rejection.
  • Precision, clarity and alignment with job specs are essential – especially at the £100k–£200k level.

If you’re serious about executive roles in the UK, tailoring a sharp, ATS-optimised, error-free CV isn’t optional – it’s mission-critical. Each element – responsibilities, competencies, achievements must be thoughtfully highlighted. Remember – hiring systems and Recruiters are looking for specificity and impact, not vague statements

Investment vs Reward

  • At this salary range, spending 1.5%-3% of your first-year take-home pay on CV and job search support is a small investment in outcomes.
  • Industry data shows:
    • Executive CV services cost between £400-£1,000+, typically including 8-10 hours of personalised work

Why It Matters

  • A tailored Professional CV elevates your application above generic submissions, beating both ATS filters and recruiter fatigue
  • It ensures every bullet point showcases your value because at this level, nuance is key, not fluff.
  • Investing in this now saves months and positions you for a stronger salary negotiation later.

In short – if you’re serious about landing that £100k-£200k position, don’t gamble on chance – invest in a CV that reflects your calibre and ambition.
