More About Our Mission
Since our founding, Rivers Resume Services Ltd has strived to provide quality services, exceptional efficiency and the highest level of professionalism - without necessarily breaking the bank.
The cost of Resume/CV writing services that provide truly expert revisions is exceptionally high, so we have developed a dream to provide a range of services that allow the distribution of professional resume writing and jobsearch services to candidates in all industries at all levels.
THE KEY ISSUES: ENTRY VS. EXECUTIVES
On average, you can get a basic resume revision for around £120/$140, but the majority of the time they are not high-quality, and a terrifying amount do not even pass the ATS. In effect, clients can get a pretty-looking resume that helps them even LESS than what they had prior. So that's the first problem...
On the other end of the spectrum, you've got Executive Resume Writers charging over £650/$800 for resumes which, once again, though they may look great and possibly even have a lot of good content, fail on the critical ATS front, meaning that clients still don't get seen, despite the huge service fees paid.
So this is where Rivers Resume Services Ltd steps in. We wanted to address this inequity.
On the one hand, entry level candidates get nowhere because they can't afford in-depth revisions, and on the other, Executives get overcharged for fancy resumes that still don't get them seen. We can give entry level candidates the expertise they need to get a leg up on their competition. And we also provide premium Executive resumes that actually translate into interviews, without extortionately overcharging for them.
And so the Rivers Resume Services ethos is all about ensuring everyone who needs or wants help can get it.
We want to benefit the client above all else, and keeping this expertise open to all candidates means being consistent with our pricing. We are committed to being ethical at every juncture, so we always take into account the actual amount of work required on every revision, to make sure our expertise+time pricing ratio is fair.
Our team is up for every job, managing projects with the skill and experience our clients have come to expect.

ATS Insight...
This is a good place to elaborate a little on the struggle with the ATS. The Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that the majority of the companies and recruiters of today use have transformed the way candidates are selected... But only 1/4 candidates have a resume that will adequately parse into the an ATS.

To properly highlight this issue, this is a side by side shot comparing a graphics and image-heavy resume and a Rivers Resume Services formatted resume.
