Consulting CV templates

Consulting CV templates, parser-clean.

Management consulting recruitment runs on resume screens — first the ATS, then a human in 30–45 seconds. PerfectCV's consulting-friendly templates strip the layout tricks that break automated parsing and keep the structural restraint partners expect: short summary, dense experience, no fluff.

Each template is single-column, uses standard typography, and orders sections the way consulting recruiters scan: executive summary, employment with case-study bullets, education with grades and any honours. Bullets cap at six per role to keep the page readable rather than dense — the design choice that consulting partners frequently call out as the difference between a CV they can scan in 30 seconds and one they put down.

Consulting CVs frequently inflate impact ("led transformation programme" when you contributed to one workstream). Our verification pass cross-checks bullets against your source CV — a claim of "managed budget of £4M" only ships if the source already said something equivalent. If the source is vague, the rewrite stays vague rather than guessing. This is the opposite of how most AI rewriters work, and it's deliberate: a confidently overstated bullet is the fastest way to fail a case interview.

British English throughout, third-person executive summary, no first-person pronouns in the body. The optional cover letter add-on lets you paste a JD and get a one-pager that mirrors the role's language without inventing facts about the firm. Cover letters that name internal frameworks or partner names you've never met are an instant credibility hit; we won't write them.

Common consulting ATS pitfalls we fix: dual-column "profile / experience" layouts that lose sub-headings entirely on parse, percentage-only achievements without absolute numbers (parsers strip the percent sign), and the dreaded "References available on request" footer that confuses every modern ATS. We replace these with the standard heading structure consulting recruiters can paste into talent pipelines.

Executive Clean is the closest fit for partner-track and senior consulting roles; Modern ATS Classic works for associates, engagement managers, and lateral hires from industry. Output is a Word document delivered by email, £2 one-off — no subscription, no account.
