FREE EXECUTIVE RESUME REVIEW

A senior Australian writer reads it. Not software. Written review back in three business days.

Upload your current resume and a senior Australian writer — not software — will read it and send back a written review: a summary verdict, what is working, what is not, the errors we found, and which package would fix it.

It comes back by email within three business days — whether or not you ever engage us.

We cap reviews at 15 per week so every resume gets a senior writer’s proper attention. If this week’s places are taken, your submission rolls into next week’s queue.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

A one-page written review in five parts — Summary, CV Strengths, CV Weaknesses, Errors, and a Suggestion naming the package that would fix it. Here is a real one, with the client’s name and details changed.

WHAT WE LOOK AT

Does it survive the filters?

Side bars, text boxes and two-column headers are the usual reason a good CV never reaches a person. We open yours the way an applicant tracking system does and tell you what breaks.

Is the achievement there?

Most executive CVs are strong on responsibilities and thin on outcomes. We look for results with numbers against them, and for the scope signals — budget, headcount, P&L — a reader looks for before anything else.

Is there a brand?

Whether the document makes one clear argument about what you are, or leaves the reader to guess. This is the single most common weakness we write up.

Does it read cleanly?

Grammar, punctuation, Australian spelling and consistency of design. At this level one error is a data point.

WHO IT IS FOR

It is worth your time if you are a general manager, director or C-suite candidate, if your resume predates the current screening technology, or if you have been applying and hearing nothing back and cannot work out why.

It is not worth your time if you want a template. We do not send one, and the review will tell you what to change rather than write it for you.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

1. You upload

Your resume, plus the kind of role you are targeting. Two minutes.

2. A senior writer reads it

A person, in Australia, named on the review. Not a tool.

3. Your review arrives

Within three business days: summary, strengths, weaknesses, errors, and the package we would suggest.

There is no call attached to this and no obligation. If you would rather take the review and do it yourself, that is a perfectly good outcome.

Your document is confidential. It is not shared, published or used as a sample.

1,761 executives have used us. Clients include leaders from the NSW Government, Commonwealth Bank, BHP, McKinsey and Telstra.

I can highly recommend the professional services offered by Executive Agents. From the first encounter with the MD, I was given expert advice and through a collaborative approach - I was able to achieve exactly what I had hoped to. I would especially like to thank Kate Williams who was able to capture a long career and capabilities in a concise yet meaningful manner.

After a long career in a senior leadership role, I knew I had the experience for my next step, but I struggled to put it all down on paper in a way that truly did it justice. My self-confidence can have its ups and downs, and I knew I needed a professional to help me tell my story.
The whole branding process was fantastic and genuinely thought-provoking. The initial session was far more than a simple CV discussion, it was a deep dive into my career that helped me see the value of my own achievements in a new light. The team is incredibly skilled at asking the right questions and, more importantly, at listening. I was amazed at how well they captured my voice and my career. The final documents - CV and the candidate statement - were simply outstanding. They made me look great, and I am now moving forward with my application with a renewed sense of confidence. For any senior leader who needs help telling their own story, I cannot recommend this agency highly enough, the service and the result were exceptional!

Exceptional service that delivers real results
I first worked with Executive Agents back in 2021 and they were instrumental in helping me secure an excellent role that ultimately led to my promotion to the C-suite. Their understanding of the executive market and ability to match candidates with the right opportunities is outstanding.
I recently engaged them again for a CV update and I'm thoroughly impressed with the outcome. They have a keen eye for presenting executive experience in a compelling way that really showcases your value proposition. The team is professional, responsive, and clearly knows what works in today's competitive market.
If you're looking for recruitment specialists who genuinely understand executive-level placements and can help advance your career, I highly recommend Executive Agents. They've been a key part of my professional journey and I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

**★★★★★ 5/5 stars**

Was really struggling with my resume for ages. Kept putting off job applications because I knew it wasn’t good enough but didn’t know how to fix it. Tried using AI to help write it which seemed like a good idea at the time but honestly wasn’t confident it was actually any good.

Eventually found Executive Agents online and decided to give them a go. Really glad I did! They knew exactly what was wrong with what I had and how to make it better. The person I worked with was lovely and explained everything properly without making me feel dumb.

My new resume looks so much more professional now and has all the right information that employers are looking for apparently. Already got a couple of interviews lined up which is more than I had before!

Should have done this months ago instead of stressing about it. If your resume isn’t working for you definitely recommend these guys. Made the whole process much easier and now I actually feel confident sending it out.

Used Executive Agents for their branding service during my job hunt and it made a real difference. They helped me figure out how to present myself better to employers and made my LinkedIn and resume much stronger.

The team knew the Melbourne market well and gave practical advice on what recruiters actually look for. Instead of just generic tips, they tailored everything to my specific situation and the roles I was going after.

Been getting more interview calls since working with them. Worth the investment if you’re struggling to get noticed by employers.

I have to say I am very happy with the outcome and the way the initial interview was undertaken, and the way that Kate worked though the process keeping me informed on the way. Kate has been great to deal with and have appreciated her insights and feedback. So overall very happy with the outcome and I have fed this back to the executive recruiter as well.

I’ve always got jobs through my networks and internal promotions. I’ve never had to prepare a resume and selection criteria statement before. The team helped me develop a high quality, great looking cover letter. My LinkedIn looks great and I'm getting invited to interviews.

I can't say enough good things about Executive Agents. From the moment I got in touch, they offered incredible service. I worked with Kate and Nick on my resume and had two mock interview training sessions. Their support was instrumental in landing the position I wanted. The mock interviews were a game-changer, and I can't recommend them enough. Thanks, Kate & Nick!

Executive Agents offer an incredible service right from the first contact. I engaged with them for resume development, and followed through with two mock interview training sessions. My experience with Executive Agents resulted in me being successful for the position I was applying for. I really could not have obtained this position without their coaching and support. I particularly found the mock interview sessions incredibly helpful and imperative to putting my best foot forward. I would hands down recommend them to anyone - especially Kate & Nick. Thank you!!!
