CV Review + Rewrite for sponsored roles
Eye-tracking research shows recruiters spend an average of 7.4 seconds on a first CV scan — and applicant-tracking software rejects most applications before a human sees them at all. For visa-sponsored roles the bar is even higher. We review and rewrite your CV specifically to pass both filters, using what 139,817 licensed UK sponsors actually screen for.
average time a recruiter spends on the first scan of your CV (The Ladders eye-tracking study). Before that, ATS software has already filtered the pile — industry estimates put the cut at up to three-quarters of all applications.

Why good candidates get rejected
Three filters stand between you and a sponsored interview — and most international applicants' CVs fail at least one of them.
Nearly all large employers — 98%+ of Fortune 500 companies — screen applications with applicant-tracking software before a person reads them. Wrong layout, wrong keywords, or a title that doesn't match the role's occupation wording, and your CV is out — silently. Industry estimates put the automated cut at up to 75% of applications.
If you survive the software, eye-tracking research (The Ladders) shows recruiters give the first pass an average of 7.4 seconds. They scan job titles, dates, and the top third of page one. If your strongest evidence isn't exactly there, it effectively doesn't exist.
Sponsoring you isn't free for the employer — Home Office charges typically run into thousands of pounds per sponsored hire. So recruiters shortlist the CVs that make sponsorship feel like a safe investment: clear role fit, salary-band fit, and no ambiguity about your visa position. Most CVs never address this at all.

This isn't a proofread. Your CV is rebuilt against the same checks recruiters and their software run — informed by the live ads of 5,768 sponsored roles in our feed.

Questions
A good general CV and a good sponsorship CV are different documents. Sponsoring you costs an employer real money in Home Office fees, so their recruiters screen harder: they look for role titles and keywords that match the job's occupation code, evidence you meet the visa salary bar, and a work history that makes sponsorship feel low-risk. We rewrite your CV around exactly those checks — most general CVs, even well-written ones, don't address them at all.
Generic CV services typically charge £100–£400 and know CVs, not UK sponsorship. We work with the Home Office sponsor register and live sponsorship job data every day — our database tracks 139,000+ licensed sponsors and thousands of live sponsored roles. Your rewrite is aligned to what sponsoring employers actually advertise for, not a generic template.
A line-by-line review of your current CV plus a complete rewrite: ATS-safe formatting, sponsorship-aligned job titles and keywords, UK-standard structure (2 pages, no photo), quantified achievements, and your visa position framed the right way. Delivered by email within 3 working days, with one free month of GradSponsor Pro included so you can apply direct to every employer while your new CV is fresh.
Every CV is reviewed and finished by our team — real people who work in UK sponsorship data daily. We use software the same way recruiters do (to test ATS parsing and keyword coverage), but the judgement calls about your experience are made by a human.
Those are exactly the fields we live in. The majority of UK sponsored hiring happens in health & care, engineering, and tech — and they're the biggest sectors in our own job feed. Your rewrite uses the language real sponsoring employers in your sector use in their live ads.
You receive an editable document (Word) plus a PDF ready to send. Nothing is locked — you can tailor it per application, and we'd encourage exactly that.
