Before You Apply™ – CV & Job Match Review

Applying for a specific role? Don’t leave it to chance.

You may have an excellent CV, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s aligned to the role you’re applying for.

Our Before You Apply™ – CV & Job Match Review compares your CV against a specific job description, helping you understand how closely your experience, skills and achievements match what the employer is looking for.

Created by Michelle Cryer, an experienced recruiter with over 25 years of recruitment and executive search expertise, this service combines professional recruiter judgement with carefully designed AI to provide detailed, personalised feedback before you submit your application.

Rather than simply reviewing your CV in isolation, we’ll assess how effectively it demonstrates your suitability for the role, identify any gaps or missed opportunities, and provide practical recommendations to strengthen your application.

Your CV & Job Match Review includes:

✔ Comprehensive professional CV review

✔ Detailed comparison against your chosen job description

✔ Assessment of how well your experience aligns with the employer’s requirements

✔ Identification of strengths, gaps and missed opportunities

✔ Review of your professional profile, key skills and career history

✔ Recruiter observations on your likely interview potential

✔ Personalised recommendations to strengthen your application

✔ Overall job match score with clear explanation

✔ Prioritised actions to improve your chances of being shortlisted

Whether you’re applying for your next promotion, changing careers or competing for a senior leadership position, this service helps ensure your CV is presenting the strongest possible case before you apply.

Why choose Before You Apply™?

Many applicants are rejected before their CV is ever read in detail—not because they lack the experience, but because their CV doesn’t clearly demonstrate how they meet the employer’s requirements.

Our CV & Job Match Review helps you understand your application from a recruiter’s perspective, giving you the opportunity to make informed improvements before your CV reaches the hiring manager.
