Simple Process. Fair Pricing.

Taking the first step towards a stronger resume is easier than you think. Whether you know exactly what you need or you are not quite sure where to begin, we are here to make the process straightforward, supportive and stress free.

Why Shortlist Resumes

We deliberately take on a limited number of clients at any one time. This is not a marketing line, it is how we operate. While bigger services rush through dozens of resumes each week, we cap our intake so every client gets our full attention from the first message to the final delivered document. If you are tired of generic templates and assembly line writing, this is the difference.

Our Promise

We believe in transparent pricing and honest advice. We only recommend the package your resume actually needs, never more. If you are not happy with the watermarked draft we send for your approval, you do not pay the final 50%. Two rounds of revisions are included with every package, so we work together until you are confident in the final result.

What is Included with Every Package

Every Shortlist Resumes service is built around clear pricing, honest communication, and a process that protects you.

50/50 Payment Structure. You pay 50% to begin. The remaining 50% is only invoiced after you have approved the watermarked draft. You never pay full price before seeing the work.
Two Rounds of Revisions Included. Every package includes two full rounds of revisions on your draft. We work together until you are confident in the final result.
Watermarked Draft Before Final Payment. You will always see a watermarked draft before paying the second half. If you are not happy with what you see, you do not pay the final 50%.
PDF and Word Delivery. Your final document is delivered in both formats. The PDF for applications, the Word file for future updates.
Honest Recommendations. We will never push you into a bigger package than you need. If a lighter service fits your situation, we will tell you.
Limited Client Intake. We deliberately work with a small number of clients each week. Every project gets full attention from first message to final delivery.

Get in Touch Start by contacting us through our website or booking form. Let us know what service you're interested in and a little about where you're at in your career journey. Not sure what you need? That's completely fine. We'll guide you through the best option for your situation. Once we've received your enquiry, we'll follow up via email with a link to our Client Intake Form to get the process started.

Complete Your Intake Form Once you've received your intake form link, take some time to complete it as thoroughly as possible. This is where you share your career history, skills, achievements and goals. The more detail you provide, the stronger your resume will be.

We Get to Work Our team carefully reviews everything you've shared and gets to work crafting your resume. Every document is written from scratch, tailored specifically to you, your experience and your target role.

Review Your Draft Once your draft is ready, we'll send it through for your review. This is your opportunity to read through everything, provide feedback and request any refinements. We want the final result to feel completely aligned with who you are and where you're headed.

Receive Your Final Documents Once you're happy with the result, we'll deliver your final documents in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats. The Word document gives you full control to make future updates whenever you need them, while the PDF ensures your resume is perfectly formatted and ready to submit to employers straight away.

A Note on Our Process At Shortlist Resumes, we intentionally work with a limited number of clients at any one time. This is how we maintain the high standard of quality and personal attention that every resume deserves. Because of this, turnaround and feedback times may vary depending on current demand. You will always be advised of expected timeframes upon submission so you're never left wondering where things are at.
