“Mijn cv was al een tijdje niet bijgewerkt. CV-Refresher maakte er in korte tijd een veel sterker en moderner cv van. Vooral de koppeling met de vacature vond ik goed. De motivatiebrief sloot daardoor echt aan op de functie. Ik vond het ook prettig dat ik met vier sliders zelf de toon kon bepalen, bijvoorbeeld zakelijker of juist wat ontspannener en warmer. Daardoor voelde de uiteindelijke brief echt als mijn eigen verhaal.”
About CV-Refresher
An outdated CV or a cover letter that's hard to write stops too many people from applying for the job they actually want. CV-Refresher was built to change that.
We believe everyone should be able to create a professional, attractive CV and a matching cover letter within minutes — without complicated tools, expensive services, or hours of formatting work. Upload what you already have or start from scratch, pick a style that suits you, and get back to applying.
Where it started
CV-Refresher was created by two people sitting on the other side of the table: an HR business partner and a manager. Together, they read applicants' CVs all year round.
What struck them is that many CVs look alike. They roll out of the standard format used by Indeed and other job sites, and that format has stayed the same for years. Let's be honest: they noticed they were quicker to put such CVs aside themselves. Not because the candidate wasn't capable, but because the document showed nothing of it. They felt that could be better.
One more thing stood out to them. If you don't speak the language fluently, you start off at a disadvantage that has nothing to do with your skills. That's why CV-Refresher works in seven languages. Wherever you're applying, your CV should help you move forward, not hold you back.
That's not where it stops. Once an offer comes in, most people say yes too quickly. The salary negotiation tool shows you if there's room to negotiate and how to approach it — backed by real salary data and what's stated in the job posting, never with made-up figures. From your first application to your signature on the contract.
Dare to take the step, we're here to help!
Good luck — Team CV-Refresher
