A CV, LinkedIn profile & executive brand that gets you noticed. 

Ready for a premium, executive CV and LinkedIn profile that tells your story, makes you sound as awesome as you are, prepares you for interviews, and gets the attention of top recruiters and decision-makers?

You’ve come to the right place.

  • "There is genuinely nothing better than to have a comms maestro to turn to when you need your candidates to shine!! Outstanding service & work Kate Hurdley, you’ve been a dream contributor in our effort in securing awesome roles for our leadership talent."

    Alison Evans | Founder Latitude IT

Does this sound familiar?

  • A recruiter has a dream role to put you forward for, but has told you your CV isn’t strong enough to land an interview.

  • You’ve tried updating your CV yourself, but it just keeps growwwiiiing.

  • You’ve downloaded the templates from Seek but it hasn’t made a scrap of difference.

  • You think you have a CV buried somewhere in Google Drive.

  • You’ve been in your current company so long, it’s overwhelming to even contemplating updating your CV.

  • Your CV has a 8+ page list of everything you’ve ever done, but you don’t know where to start cutting.

  • Your LinkedIn profile is outdated or neglected with a pixelated photo from 8 years ago, and 393 connections.

    If any (or all) of this rings true, and you’re over it — let’s fix it.

I transform cluttered, boring, listicle-style CVs into extraordinary, executive documents that are easy to read and cut through the noise.

In today’s competitive job market, a mediocre CV is more than just a missed opportunity—it can be a dealbreaker.

You’ve put in the hard work, led transformative change, and delivered results, yet your CV doesn’t reflect the true value you bring to the table. It’s time to change that.

I don’t believe in ‘standard’ CVs. I craft executive CVs that are sharp, strategic, and tailored to showcase your unique leadership and expertise.

Your CV should never just be a list of duties—it should be a strategic tool that tells your story, reflects your personal brand, and positions you as the obvious choice for your next big role.

How it works.

  • First, we have a 15 minute chat over Google Meets so I can find out more about your current situation, goals, gaps and priorities and confirm I can help you.

    I’ll talk you through timeframes, what I’ll need from you, and the process.

    Click on the orange button to book a 15-min call with me — and don’t forget to send across your CV so I can take a look before we talk.

  • Good to go? Once we’ve agreed to work together, I’ll send you a link to your personal portal, which will include a link to:

    • your invoice for pre-payment.

    • my Calendly system — so you can book in for your Kick-Off Call, and:

    • an onboarding form— so you can tell me more about your goals, dream roles, and big wins.

  • This is a 60 minute call where I dig a bit more into your career story and values, find out what really drives you and where you want to be. We talk through some of your career journey and I find your narratives and themes.

    The call is recorded as down the track I will I use some of the transcript to shape your LinkedIn profile.

  • When your first draft is ready for you, I’ll send you a quick LinkedIn message with a link to your portal. Simply jump in, click on the link and the PDF will open inside the portal along with some questions for you to answer in the comments.

    Version 1 (pre-draft): Heaps of questions and content for you to check.

    Version 2: Now it comes together, a few questions but now it’s really taking shape.

    Version 3/Final: A few minor tweaks and we’re nearly done…

  • I work on your CV until you’re happy – but it generally takes 2-3 solid drafts and a few final tweaks.

    When we agree it’s pretty much there I’ll ask you to do 2 things:

    1 - Share it with an executive recruiter of your choice for feedback.

    2 - Book in for a wrap-up call with me so we can go through any minor tweaks and make sure you’re absolutely happy.

    Once you’ve signed off, I’ll send your finals to you in PDF and Word, so you can start applying for roles! If you’ve signed up for the LinkedIn package, work will start on this now.

  • When your CV is signed off, I will:

    • design 3 LinkedIn banners for you to choose form, and

    • write your new profile copy and headline.

    I’ll ask you to review and signoff on this before I publish it.

    I’ll then ask for access to your LinkedIn and will publish your new banner and copy, and fully optimise your profile so it aligns with your goals, CV and is keyword optimised.

Recent client feedback…

  • "You’re a legend for making me shine Kate."

    “Wow things have moved fast!

    Just spoke to the recruiter and she said when she saw my CV she thought I’m a superstar and we need to snap her up… thought you’d want to hear that feedback. You’re a legend for making me shine Kate… thank you.”

    Lisa Martin | Public Sector | May 2025

  • "So much better than anything I could have written."

    “Hi Kate,
    Having struggled with the confidence to "sell" myself for my entire career, I just want to say thank you! The profile is so much better than anything I could have written. Thanks again!!”

    OF | Group Head of Technology | Sydney | May 2025

  • "Quite frankly, I wouldn't have come close to producing what you did."

    Kate — Thank you SO SO much for this work.

    Honestly, when I started this process, I admit to being that person who thought maybe I should just do it myself because how hard can it really be? 😉 Well, after seeing how hard you worked, and the quality of what you produced I quickly realised there is a reason why we should invest in the experts — I love my new CV and LinkedIn profile and quite frankly, I wouldn't have come close to producing what you did.

    Will be singing your praises and referring you all over — thanks Kate, and thanks for being fun, easy, but also results driven… loved that a few times you pushed me hard!!!  Ha ha.

  • "Champagne was drunk on Friday night."

    “Hello Kate

    Good news is that I applied for three jobs I got through to the final interview on all three with my CV. One of them put an offer on the table on Friday awaiting the paperwork and I will resign next week.

    The other two I was unsuccessful both of which were number two and three on my list of companies to work for which is good news… so champagne was drunk on Friday night.

    Thank you so much for your help, Anthony.”

    Kate's approach is designed to maximise enhancing your profile and presenting your professional journey in a powerful and clear manner. I picked up two interviews that led to final phase as a direct result of Kate's work. She's a joy to work with and knows 'communications' very very well. I've seen immediate & improved engagement with my profile on LinkedIn and believe you will too.

    Donato F | CS leadership | Sydney | February 2025

  • My recruiter said "Your CV is bang-on and I very rarely say that to people."

    Hi Kate

    I got this great feedback on the CV from a new recruiter I caught up with Friday. Couldn’t wait to share it with you! ——-

    “Great CV by the way! It’s pretty much bang-on and I very rarely say that to people. Punchy with all the right messages highlighted top and centre, AND only 3 pages!”

    My eyes are now well and truly peeled and ears pressed to the ground.

  • "I feel like this CV truly reflects who I am."

    “Hi Kate

    Will get back to you later today to answer some of those questions, but just to say at first glance over my morning coffee - WOW!!!

    I had that moment where I go, oh this is why we pay the pros to do this work!! I feel like this CV truly reflects who I am and the fact you managed to capture that through my rough notes is incredible!”

    CEO | NZ | March 2025

  • "I couldn't be more impressed with the results."

    “I had the pleasure of working with Kate to develop my executive CV and board CV, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. Her expertise and attention to detail transformed my professional story into a compelling and polished document.

    As a CEO, I value precision and clarity in communication, and Kate delivered on both fronts. She skilfully highlighted my accomplishments and skills, capturing the essence of my leadership journey.

    Thanks to Kate, I now have a powerful tool that reflects my career journey accurately and authentically.

    - Tracey Taylor | CEO & Board member

  • Recruitment experts are complimenting me on the strength of the CV."

    Little did I know the positive impact Kate would have on me. Kate is a true professional and highly talented in the area of communications.

    Kate made my CV shine. The key successes jumped off the page and my career story is so much more digestible. Positive feedback has been received from recruitment experts complimenting me on the strength of the CV and the way my career has been represented in such a succinct fashion.

    Whilst the CV is so much stronger, the side benefit is the confidence this now offers me step out into the market and track down my next leadership opportunity.

    - Drew F | Chief Commercial Officer

  • "Definitely worth the investment."

    Definitely worth the investment. Kate turned around my resume in less than a week, and this enabled me to secure an interview, and a "Head of" role. I highly recommend Kate.

    - Vic Marotta | Head of Procurement | Sydney

  • "Kate has an amazing style."

    Highly recommend Kate! Writing about myself is a task I have always struggled with and put to the bottom of my lists. Kate has an amazing style, she got to know me me, and linked my story together in a cohesive but concise way. 🤩🤩

    Kate, Thank you so much for helping me present the best summary of me in a handful of pages🩵.”
