I requested a free CV review from TopCV and was disappointed to find that the feedback appeared largely automated. It followed a template with broad, surface-level comments about “keyword optimisation” and “structure,” with little reference to my actual experience or CV content.The tone of the review also felt somewhat scaremongering — suggesting that older Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) might not read PDFs, and citing unverified statistics about recruiters rejecting “AI-written CVs.” These statements seemed designed to create concern rather than provide balanced, evidence-based advice.Afterwards, I received several unsolicited marketing emails encouraging me to purchase their rewrite service, despite not opting in for further contact.While TopCV’s free review may seem appealing, my experience suggested it functions more as a sales funnel than a genuine professional evaluation. Those seeking specific, constructive feedback may be better served by other providers or trusted peers in their field.
