Financial Services & Fintech
CVs for asset management, banking and fintech candidates, framed around commercial and technical achievement.
CV Writing Services in Edinburgh
Edinburgh runs on two very different hiring cultures at once — a major financial-services and fintech sector that wants commercial achievement, and a large government and public-sector employment base that wants structured, competency-based evidence. We write CVs correctly for whichever one you're applying into.

The Edinburgh market
Two Hiring Cultures, One City
Financial-services and fintech employers in Edinburgh generally want the same thing most commercial employers want: quantified achievement, clear career progression, and language matched to the role. Government and public-sector employers — including Scottish Government and Civil Service roles — often want something structurally different: CVs and applications built around named competency frameworks, with specific examples for each competency.
Using the wrong format for either — a rigid competency structure for a fintech role, or a loose achievement narrative for a Civil Service application — tends to underperform, regardless of how strong the underlying experience is.
Major financial centreAsset management, banking and insurance at scale.
Growing fintech sectorFaster-paced, achievement-led hiring style.
Large public-sector baseCompetency-framework applications, not standard CVs.

Why Format Matters as Much as Content Here
A commercial ATS scans for keywords and clean structure; a Civil Service application is often assessed manually against named competencies, with word-limited answers expected for each one. Both need clarity and precision, but the underlying structure is genuinely different — which is why we build the CV around the specific application format your target employer actually uses.
No CV can guarantee it will pass every ATS or secure an interview — the goal is the strongest possible structure for the format you're applying with.

Competency-mapped evidenceFor Civil Service and public-sector applications.

Why not just use AI?
A Template Doesn't Know Which Format You Need
Generic AI output tends to default to one CV shape regardless of whether you're applying to a fintech startup or a Civil Service competency framework — and using the wrong shape for either can cost you the application. Our writers know which format each type of Edinburgh employer expects, apply it correctly, and quality-check the result before it's finished.
