Define client-ready

Client-ready means the CV is relevant to the role, formatted consistently, privacy-aware, and reviewed by the consultant before submission.

It should help the client decide whether to interview, not force them to decode an unstructured document.

Align to the role brief

The candidate's most relevant experience should appear near the top, with terminology that matches the client's role brief where accurate.

SyncCV Agency uses the candidate CV and role brief together to produce a stronger first draft.

Check before sending

The final document should be reviewed for accuracy, formatting, identifiers, and client-specific requirements before it leaves the agency.

Quick checklist

  • Use a clear professional summary.
  • Prioritise role-relevant skills.
  • Keep formatting consistent.
  • Remove unnecessary personal identifiers.
  • Review every claim before sending to the client.
