In a recent client survey, our Resume Writing Services have observed a 98.6% success rate for clients across all market verticals using our resume writing services. However, it is important to note that everyone’s backgrounds differ, and while some clients achieve success in as little as a couple of weeks, others may need to wait longer and adopt a more complex strategy.
During each consultation, it is crucial to provide real-world advice, which may include market approach strategies, various adaptations of resumes, tactics for accessing the hidden job market, and extended career advice. Our resume writing services are designed to be dynamic and adaptable to meet the unique needs of each client.
Our 4 Steps to Success
Step 1: Market Identification
Step2: Competency Based Framework (CBF)
Step 3: STAR + Stength Based Content
Step 4: Advanced ATS 2.0 Strategies
1) Market Identification
Clients who know their target market often achieve better results than those who opt for a more liberal or hybrid approach. This is because, once you know your target, the content of a professional resume can be tailored specifically to a market, sector, or position—or ideally, all of the above.
You can then position your profile (brand) as a subject matter expert in your own right. If you are unsure about the direction of your resume or career, seek professional advice from one of our resume writers or a recruiter. In some cases, you may even benefit from having multiple resumes to target different parts of the market.
We will then discuss the right strategy for you:
- Hybrid resume
- Targeted resume
- Hyper- personalised resume

2) Competency-based framework (CBF)
The use of a competency-based framework (CBF) when preparing to write a resume is essential for underpinning the relevancy of content within both the resume and its intended market. Instead of simply listing job titles, responsibilities, and achievements blindly, integrating a CBF model ensures that the content will both remain relevant to the positions being applied for.
Furthermore, as a competency-based resume will emphasize how your skills and experience match the requirements of the position, you will benefit from a clearly defined structure that instantly resonates with the intended target audience
The focus is on Core, Competencies, Targeted Content, Industry-Specific Achievements + High Impact Statements.
What results do you get from using this framework?
A CV/resume built using a competency-based or behavioural-based framework is one of the most powerful types of CV/resume in the market today! In fact, tests using an independent panel of HR and Senior Recruiters demonstrated that of the 16 CVs/resumes written with a competency framework in place, 14 were rated ‘A’ Grade, and the other 2 were rated ‘B’ Grade. This compared to a sample of 16 CVs/resumes without the framework where only 7 made the ‘A’ Grade, 3 made the ‘B’ Grade, and a worrying 6 were instantly rejected.
3) STAR Based Content
Once we have identified those competencies, the next stage is to provide proven and demonstrated statements. The best strategy is to use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method to extract qualified statements in intergrate into a Professional Resume. The STAR method ensures that each statement is specific, contextual, and impactful by breaking down the information into four key components:
By applying the STAR method, we need to transform bland and generic statements into powerful, qualified, and value-added information that will set you apart from the competition.
For example, instead of saying “Responsible for team management, a ”STAR-based statement would be:
“Successfully managed a team of 10 developers (Situation). Tasked tasked with improving the team’s productivity (Task), introducing new project management software and streamlining processes (Action), which led to a 20% increase in project completion rate within six months (Result).”

4) Advanced ATS 2.0
Most jobseekers by now have heard of ATS, or applicant tracking systems. This software has been integrated into recruitment for more than 20 years. However, not many people know that most resumes these days are ATS-friendly, not just professionalism. What many jobseekers don’t realise is that it’s not the ATS itself you need to impress; it is the specific job filtering software within the ATS that you need to beat.
To make things trickier, with the recent rise and integration of AI technology, ATS systems are going through a huge transformation. Jobseekers can no longer get away with keyword stuffing or use software like ChatGPT to write their content. ATS 2.0 incorporates a whole array of tools to scan in and scan out applications.
For example, the latest ATS 2.0 filters can decipher human-written content, seek out value-added statements such as major accomplishments, look for competencies in job descriptions, identify industry matches, and also link back to social media signals.
That’s why we have adopted the very latest ATS 2.0 standards. We ensure your professionalresume passes all filters, clearly demonstrates your value, leverages strength-based content, highlights industry expertise, and also links back to recommendations in LinkedIn profiles.
