Executive CV andProfessional ProfileDevelopment Consultancy

Your record is strong; the trap is that a human recruiter rarely sees it. African executives applying to multinationals, UN agencies, development finance institutions, government-to-private roles and NGO C-suite posts are filtered out by applicant-tracking software before anyone reads a word, or read as a generic duty-list that could belong to any candidate, and the shortlist, the board nomination and the search-firm placement quietly go elsewhere. Our writers and designers interview you, quantify your real achievements, and produce the finished, ATS-ready executive CV, LinkedIn profile and brand documents for you.

A writer and designer, one to one · A milestone-based engagement · You approve each stage and own the finished result

Why executives choose us

A done-for-you executive brand, not a template.

A senior CV is not a single document you tidy up, it is eight distinct pieces of professional work, and each one is the reason your file clears the software and reads as a leader rather than an anonymous duty-list. A downloadable template hands you a shell and leaves you to fill it alone; AOSARS gives you a writer and designer who audit your career, mine and evidence your achievements, structure and parse-test the CV, rebuild your LinkedIn profile and produce your brand documents for you, and hand back the finished set. Open any panel below to see what that means for your candidacy.

A writer and designer, one to one, not a template

Your CV, LinkedIn profile and brand documents are built by a real writer and designer who sit with you, interview you and do the work. You are not handed a template or a checklist and left to fill it in alone.

Why this matters: The difference between an executive brand and a generic file is the person behind it. A template cannot interview you, weigh an achievement or design for seniority; a writer and designer can.

What this means for you
  • A professional writer interviews you and drafts every line
  • A designer typesets the CV to an executive standard
  • We quantify your real achievements, not assumed detail
  • We build your LinkedIn profile and brand documents for you
  • You brief us and approve the work; we do the labour

Across the service: the same writer and designer carry your brand through all eight phases, from career audit to final formats.

See the eight phases

A proven eight-phase process

We run your candidacy through eight defined phases: career audit, achievement mining, CV writing, ATS optimisation, executive design, LinkedIn build, brand documents and final publishing. Nothing is skipped and nothing is left to chance.

Why this matters: A CV tidied up in an afternoon misses the very steps, the evidencing, the parse-testing, the design, that make a senior file clear the software and read as a leader. The full process is what produces an executive brand.

What this means for you
  • Every phase a strong candidacy needs, in the right order
  • Achievements mined and evidenced before anything is written
  • The CV parse-tested against applicant-tracking software
  • LinkedIn and brand documents aligned to the same story
  • A clear schedule you approve before any work begins

Across the service: the eight phases are laid out in full further down the page, each one produced for you.

See the eight phases

Your approval at every milestone

We do the writing and design between milestones, and at each one, the audit, the evidenced achievements, the CV draft, the design, the LinkedIn build, we show you the work and you approve it before we move on. You direct the outcome without doing the labour.

Why this matters: A done-for-you service should never take your brand out of your hands. Milestone approval keeps you in control of every claim and every word while our writer and designer carry the work.

What this means for you
  • You approve the brief and target roles before any work begins
  • You confirm every quantified achievement before it is written up
  • You review and sign off the CV draft and its structure
  • You approve the executive design before it is finalised
  • Nothing proceeds to the next phase without your sign-off

Across the service: you own every claim your brand rests on, and our team does the work behind each one.

See the eight phases

ATS-ready and recruiter-ready quality

The CV we hand back is written and structured to clear applicant-tracking software, evidenced with quantified Context, Action and Result achievements, and designed so a human recruiter reads seniority at a glance. It is a leader's file, not a passable one.

Why this matters: Recruiters, search firms and hiring panels judge a senior candidate on evidence and clarity. ATS-ready, recruiter-ready quality is what stops your file being auto-rejected or read as anonymous.

What this means for you
  • A CV parse-tested against real applicant-tracking systems
  • Achievements quantified in Context, Action and Result form
  • A clean, senior structure a recruiter can read in seconds
  • Design and typesetting that signal executive seniority
  • A file that survives the software and convinces the panel

Across the service: every phase is produced to the standard a top executive search firm would expect of a shortlisted candidate.

See the eight phases

You own every finished document

You keep the editable CV, the LinkedIn profile, the executive bio, the cover letter and every brand document we produce. We are your writing and design team, not a gatekeeper, so the finished set and everything in it are yours to use and update.

Why this matters: A done-for-you service should hand you documents you own completely. Nothing about your CV, your profile or your brand belongs to AOSARS once it is delivered.

What this means for you
  • You receive editable Word and PDF versions of the CV
  • Your LinkedIn profile is built in your own account
  • You hold the executive bio, cover letter and brand files
  • You can update and reuse every document yourself
  • AOSARS produces the set, it does not own it

Across the service: you commission the work, you approve it, and you own the result outright.

See the eight phases

One consistent executive brand

We do not stop at a CV. Your LinkedIn profile, executive biography, cover letter and media one-pager are built to tell one consistent, evidenced story, so a recruiter who moves from your CV to your profile sees the same senior candidate throughout.

Why this matters: A CV that disagrees with your LinkedIn profile plants doubt at the worst moment. One aligned brand across every document is the difference between a coincidence and a candidate.

What this means for you
  • A CV and LinkedIn profile that tell one aligned story
  • An executive biography and media one-pager to match
  • A tailored cover letter built on the same achievements
  • Consistent titles, dates and figures across every file
  • A digital brand set ready for search firms and panels

A finished executive brand, not a course.

Our writer and designer produce your CV, LinkedIn profile and brand documents to your brief, evidenced from your own achievements, and you approve each stage. You own the finished set, and you are free to use and update every document yourself.

The eight phases we run

Eight phases, from your career to a publication-ready executive brand.

Your executive brand is produced through eight defined phases, and our writer and designer carry out each one for you: role and career audit, achievement mining and evidencing, CV writing and structuring, ATS optimisation, executive design and typesetting, LinkedIn profile build, supporting brand documents, and final publishing and formats. You approve the work at each milestone. The path below moves on its own from 01 to 08; hover the card or use the pause button to take your time, or select any phase to jump.

The eight phases, 01 to 08

    How an engagement runs

    How your career becomes a publication-ready executive brand.

    The engagement runs as milestones, not weekly sessions. Our writer and designer do the work between milestones, and at each one you review what we have delivered and give your approval before we move on. Here is how a project runs from career audit to final handover.

    Milestone 1

    Career audit and your approved brief

    Every engagement opens with our writer auditing your career and the roles you are targeting: the seniority you are pitching for, the sectors, the keywords a recruiter and the software will look for, and the story your brand needs to tell.

    You review and approve the brief before any writing begins, so the whole engagement is costed, scheduled and agreed from the first day. Nothing starts until you have signed it off.

    • We auditYour career and target roles, scoped to an executive standard.
    • You approveThe brief and target roles, before we begin.
    Milestone 2

    We mine and evidence your achievements

    Between this milestone and the next, our writer interviews you and draws out your real achievements, quantifying each one in Context, Action and Result form with figures, dates and organisation names, rather than assembling a generic duty-list from assumed detail.

    You are not writing. Our team does the work and returns the evidenced achievements for you to confirm before anything is drafted into the CV.

    • We evidenceYour achievements, quantified from a structured interview.
    • You confirmEvery figure and claim, at this milestone.
    Milestone 3

    We write, structure and parse-test the CV

    Our writer drafts the full executive CV, structures it for seniority, and parse-tests it against applicant-tracking software so it clears the screen and reads cleanly to a recruiter.

    You review the draft and give your changes. Each engagement carries two structured revision rounds, each turned around within 48 hours, so your feedback is worked in before we design anything.

    • We writeThe CV, structured and ATS-optimised for you.
    • You reviewThe draft, with two revision rounds included.
    Milestone 4

    Our designer produces the executive CV

    Our designer typesets the approved CV to an executive standard: a clean, senior layout that signals seniority to a human recruiter while keeping a plain-text version that the software can still read.

    We present the design and refine it to your direction. You approve the finished look; our team produces every file, in editable Word and print-ready PDF.

    • We designThe CV, typeset to an executive standard.
    • You approveThe finished design and formats.
    Milestone 5

    We build your LinkedIn profile and brand documents

    For the higher packages, our team rebuilds your LinkedIn profile in your own account and produces your supporting brand documents, the executive biography, cover letter and media one-pager, all aligned to the same evidenced story as your CV.

    You approve each document. The build and the writing stay with us; you hold every file and your updated profile.

    • We buildYour LinkedIn profile and brand documents.
    • You approveEach document, aligned to your CV.
    Milestone 6

    We publish the final formats and hand over

    Our team finalises every format your applications need: the ATS version, the designed PDF, the editable Word file and, at the top package, a digital portfolio and personal-brand set ready for search firms and hiring panels.

    We set the pieces live to your approval, then hand over the finished set. You approve the handover; we deliver every document.

    • We deliverEvery final format, published and handed over.
    • You holdThe whole set, yours to use and update.

    What clients say

    From the executives and senior professionals we have worked with.

    I had applied to three multinationals and heard nothing. AOSARS interviewed me, quantified what I had actually delivered, and rebuilt the CV so it cleared the software. Within weeks I had two shortlists and a first interview. I approved every line; they did the work.
    Executive, Financial Services
    East Africa · Worked with AOSARS
    My CV read like a job description, not a leader. Their writer mined my achievements and structured them in Context, Action and Result form, and the difference was immediate: a recruiter finally read me as a senior candidate. The evidence was there all along.
    Director, Public Health
    Southern Africa · Worked with AOSARS
    I was applying to UN agencies and DFIs and being filtered out before anyone saw me. AOSARS rebuilt the CV and my LinkedIn profile to tell one story, and now my profile and CV say the same senior thing. I own every file and can update them myself.
    Programme Lead, Development Finance
    West Africa · Worked with AOSARS
    I was moving from government into an NGO C-suite role and needed the full brand set. Their team produced the CV, the executive bio and the cover letter, and now my whole application reads as one credible candidate. I made the decisions; they did the work.

    CV and brand packages

    One CV service. Three packages.

    All three put an AOSARS writer and designer behind your candidacy through the eight-phase engagement.

You commission the package, then we begin. Most clients choose Executive Profile Momentum.

    Common questions

    Answers, before you ask.

    The questions executives and senior professionals ask most before commissioning. If yours is not here, ask before you pay.

    Still have a question? info@aosars.com Chat on WhatsApp: +254 724 800 626

    We answer every enquiry personally, usually within a day, before you commit to anything.

    How long does the whole process take? +

    It runs as a milestone-based engagement, not a fixed number of sessions. It opens with one diagnostic and achievement-elicitation consultation, then drafting and two structured revision rounds, each turned around within 48 hours. CV Foundations is typically delivered in about 10 working days; Executive Profile Momentum and the Executive Brand Package run to about 14 working days, because they add the LinkedIn build and the supporting brand documents. We agree the schedule in the brief before any work starts, and you approve each milestone as we reach it.

    What do you need from me to start? +

    Time for the achievement-elicitation interview, and any figures, dates and organisation names you can recall. You do not need a finished CV to begin; if you have an existing CV, LinkedIn profile or draft achievements you are welcome to bring them, but nobody needs one to start, and we supply an Achievement Intake Questionnaire to work from otherwise. All you need to work with us is a laptop or desktop computer, a stable internet connection and a working email. From there our writer and designer do the work.

    Who owns the CV and the documents? +

    You do, entirely. You receive editable Word and PDF versions of your CV, your LinkedIn profile is built in your own account, and you hold the executive bio, cover letter and every brand document we produce. We are your writing and design team, so nothing about the finished set belongs to AOSARS once it is delivered. You own the whole set and are free to use and update every document yourself.

    How many rounds of revision are included? +

    Every engagement includes two structured revision rounds, each turned around within 48 hours. You review the draft CV, and at the higher packages the LinkedIn profile and brand documents, and give your changes before we finalise anything. Because you approve at every milestone, nothing is published until you are satisfied with it, and the brief sets out exactly what each package includes.

    Will the CV really get through ATS systems? +

    Yes. We structure and write the CV specifically to clear applicant-tracking software, and we parse-test it against a plain-text ATS tool before delivery, so it is read cleanly rather than auto-rejected on formatting. You receive an ATS-ready version alongside the designed PDF, so your file reaches a human recruiter and still reads as a senior candidate when it does. The whole engagement is built to remove exactly the filtering that costs strong African executives their shortlists.

    How do payments and milestones work? +

    You pay to commission the package through secure checkout, in your local currency, by card, bank transfer or mobile money where it is supported. That confirms the engagement and we begin with the role and career audit. The work then proceeds through the eight phases, and you sign off each milestone as it is delivered. If you are unsure which package fits before you commit, email info@aosars.com or use the no-commitment options above.

    Is this coaching, or do you do the work for me? +

    This is a done-for-you service. Our writer and designer do the interviewing, the writing, the ATS optimisation, the design and the LinkedIn build for you, and hand back a finished set of documents. You brief us and approve each milestone; you do not write or design anything yourself. The dividing line is simple: here, the labour stays with us, and you own and approve the result.

    How is AI used in producing my CV? +

    Our team uses professional tools, including AI assistance, only as an aid our writer and designer direct and verify, never as a substitute for real judgement. Every achievement is drawn from your own record in a structured interview, quantified and confirmed by you, and every line is written and checked by a person. The evidence stays entirely yours, and the credibility of the finished brand is what the whole service is built to protect.
