Chief Technical Officer (CTO) CV Service

Who do we help?

We help chief technical officers (CTOs) from companies of all sizes from start-ups and small-to-medium enterprises right up to blue-chip multinational companies.

How can we help you?

Essentially, our service revolves around boosting your prospects of landing well-paid CTO jobs.

We can't suddenly, for example, invent an MBA or master’s degree in IT for you if you don't have one. However, what we can do - and what we actually do on a very regular basis for clients– is to rework, and present your case more powerfully for you; meticulously optimising your curriculum vitae to maximise your sales message and highlight this in a more planned, structured and ultimately higher-impact manner.

In effect, we regularly help our clients gain an advantage in the executive job market that they wouldn't otherwise have had. In many cases it is quite a transformation - and it makes a difference!

Over the years we’ve helped lots of your competitors. We can help you too.

Common Issues

We treat each client individually, each case is different, and we tend to make improvements on lots of fronts. That said, it is noticeable that numerous CTO clients in particular tend to come to us with CVs that are sometimes more suitable for senior IT/program/project management roles, rather than a higher level chief technical officer position. This isn't always the case, and there are exceptions, but it's quite common, and especially with those applying for their first CTO post, and/or those who are relatively new to the job.

One reason for this possibly relates to the observation that it is not uncommon for CTOs to start their career in IT/technical roles further down the career ladder, and some forget that at executive level there are other considerations at play, and other (non-technical) aspects that need addressing and substantiating on their CV.

Moreover, it's not just technical professionals who fall into this trap (and others). For example, we regularly rework and fix CVs for clients that were originally written by other professional CV companies.

This is something we are used to, and we are confident that we can improve upon any other professionally written CTO CV. So much so that we actually guarantee it!

Our Writers

All three of our top writers have vast experience writing top-quality CVs for C-suite/executive level IT/technical professionals.

Paul and Chris are also both experienced business directors with hands-on and theoretical technical backgrounds.

Is this an advantage when it comes to writing CTO CVs?

Absolutely, and it’s just one among numerous benefits that set us apart from other companies.

At the same time, it is worth pointing out that the very top CV writers need a lot more than just business and technical skills. Experience is important, as is method, and various other attributes such as top end specialisation, attention to detail and a real understanding of what CxO employers look for. If that isn't enough, Paul actually cites his biggest CV writing quality as his natural creativity. Again, this is something that is frequently overlooked, particularly among technical professionals, but is extremely important, and especially if you want a truly outstanding curriculum vitae.

Company size?

We help CTOs with a broad variety of applications including applications for companies ranging from start-up firms and SMEs right up to blue-chip multinational organisations.

We also help CTO clients from larger companies reposition in broader roles for smaller companies such as CEO/CTO at a start-up or SME.

What can we help you with?

As well as your curriculum vitae, we create top-quality cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, bios and personal statements.
