What KiwiCV changes
Most CV writers can polish sentences. KiwiCV focuses on the harder migrant problem: translating overseas experience into the proof, structure, and tone New Zealand recruiters expect.
Every rewrite is grounded in Verified Candidate Evidence. We improve emphasis, wording, and structure without adding claims you cannot support.
Shareable web resume
Your finished resume can become a public KiwiCV profile for recruiter chats, warm intros, and LinkedIn messages.
Looks good before the PDF is opened
A recruiter can skim your profile link first, then download PDF or DOCX when they want the formal version.
Contact details stay in your control
Publish when you are ready and choose whether your contact details are visible.
Fictional profile using the same KiwiCV public resume template customers can publish.
Why the NZ angle matters
People are moving, employers are hiring, and recruiters still need the same thing fast: proof you can do the job here, written in language they recognise.

Shaped for New Zealand employers
Every CV still has to make sense to a Kiwi recruiter. The starting point changes. We adjust the conversion for the resume habits employers usually see in your market.
Australia
Australian resumes are close to what NZ recruiters expect, but the wording can still feel a little off. We tighten the pitch and make the local role match easier to see.

For the job ad closing way too soon
What to know before converting your overseas resume for New Zealand.
It means we adapt your existing CV or resume for New Zealand recruiter expectations. That includes structure, section labels, tone, achievement wording, NZ English, and the context needed to make overseas employers, qualifications, and role scope easier to understand.
No. KiwiCV is built for professionals who may not have local NZ experience yet. We translate your international background into clear local value without pretending you have evidence you do not have.
We keep the useful evidence and change the parts that make New Zealand recruiters work too hard: unclear overseas context, long responsibility lists, non-local formatting habits, weak achievement wording, and sections that do not help the Target Job.
Our standard package is delivered within 3 business days after payment and review approval. Need it faster? Rush delivery is 24 hours after review approval.
The delivery timeframe starts once payment is complete and you have approved the reviewed data we need to begin the rewrite.
After you add a Source Document, we extract Verified Candidate Evidence so you can correct anything before we start the rewrite. Your delivery timeframe starts once payment is complete and you have approved the reviewed data. If the final documents still need work, revisions come first; you can read the Refund Policy for how refund requests are assessed.
Most orders include 3 free revision rounds. If something is not right, revisions or a redo are usually the first step. Refund requests are reviewed against our Refund Policy and New Zealand consumer law.
KiwiCV is built by software engineers with deep AI experience, so AI is part of the process. We use it as a tool inside a structured review workflow, with the final CV based on your approved Verified Candidate Evidence. If something does not feel right, you can request revisions.
Share details of each role and we'll create tailored versions for each application. If you do not provide job details, we'll deliver a strong general version you can use broadly.
Yes. Each document includes 3 free revision rounds, and you can purchase additional reviews at any time.
Yes. The process adapts across industries, from IT and healthcare to trades and finance, using your evidence and the relevant expectations of NZ employers.
You receive PDF and DOCX files, and you can publish an optional KiwiCV public resume profile when you want a shareable web link.
A business day is a day of the week that is not a weekend or a public holiday in New Zealand.
Start with your current CV or resume. KiwiCV turns the useful bits into a cleaner, more local application kit for New Zealand roles.
