Get positioned as the obvious choice for senior leadership roles.

Professional resume writing is the creation of a polished, tailored resume that highlights your experience and achievements in a format designed to meet recruiter and applicant tracking system (ATS) standards. This work is carried out by a professional resume writer.

Value proposition development and executive personal branding is a strategic process led by an executive transition coach. It focuses on uncovering your unique strengths, defining the commercial impact you bring, and shaping this into a clear leadership narrative that drives both your personal brand and job search strategy. Executive personal branding goes beyond the resume to establish a consistent, boardroom-ready identity across all career documents and platforms (such as LinkedIn, cover letters, and executive bios, value proposition letters), ensuring you stand out as a credible leader.

In the career consulting industry, there are three distinct levels of service - and the difference in quality, strategy, and outcomes is especially critical for senior professionals and executives.

1. Budget Resume Mills

Price Range: C$100 – C$400

These low-cost providers often rely on AI tools and overseas freelance copywriters. Their approach typically involves lightly editing your existing resume using generic templates, with little to no understanding of your career goals. There’s usually no direct communication with your writer, and revisions are limited. These services are high-volume, low-quality - and not built to position you competitively in the executive job market.

2. Mid-Level CV Services

Price Range: C$400 – $1000

Our professional resume writing team have in-house writers and offer a step up from budget mills, but still lack the strategic depth required for leadership roles. These resumes look polished, but are created from templates and not customised for specific industries, leadership narratives, or personal branding. These resumes tend to work well for early- to mid-career professionals, but typically fall short for executive-level candidates.

3. Executive Branding Specialists (Resume People®)

Price Range: Starting from C$1499

Resume People is a boutique, executive-focused firm that partners exclusively with senior managers through to C-level and board-level professionals. Our Canadian-based executive branding specialists - each with 10+ years of experience - dedicate 3 business days (around 24 hours) to every client engagement. We conduct deep-dive strategy consultations, evaluate your market positioning, and craft every document from the ground up, including your executive resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, executive bio, and value proposition letter. Everything is tailored, ATS-optimized, and aligned to your target roles. We limit our monthly intake to just 60 new clients to ensure high-impact results, unlimited revisions, and a truly collaborative one-to-one process.

If you're serious about standing out in today’s hyper-competitive executive job market, a mass-produced resume simply won’t cut it. You need a brand - not just a document.

We partner with accomplished professionals ranging from senior managers and directors to C-suite executives and board-level candidates. Our typical clients include those preparing to transition from senior management to director roles, dept. head and directors stepping up to the executive suite, and C-suite leaders pursuing board appointments. Whether passively exploring new opportunities or actively planning their next strategic move, our clients are united by a forward-thinking, growth-oriented mindset.

Absolutely. We’ve worked with over 30,000 senior leaders and executives, and many have shared their success stories on Google and Trustpilot. We’re proud to be the highest-rated executive resume writing service in Canada, with over 1,700 five-star reviews across various platforms. These testimonials consistently reflect our commitment to quality, results, and long-term client success. Read all of our reviews here.

With 11 executive transition coaches comprising over 200 years' combined experience, we've built expertise in almost every industry, including, but not limited to: Finance, Healthcare, Banking, Insurance, Commercial Real Estate/Leasing, Manufacturing, Professional Services, Technology, Education, Retail, Government Contracts, Construction, Legal and many others.

We’re a boutique firm with a dedicated team of 11 highly experienced executive transition coaches and branding specialists. Collectively, our team brings over 200 years of combined expertise in executive resume writing, personal branding, and career strategy. We’re intentionally structured to remain small enough to provide deeply personalized, one-on-one support for every client engagement - yet large enough to operate confidently across the global executive market. This balance allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality, discretion, and strategic insight for every senior leader we work with.

Because our executive branding process is highly bespoke, the typical turnaround time is approximately 10 business days to cover all aspects of our service. This includes an in-depth evaluation of your market positioning, value proposition, and personal brand alignment with your target roles. However, we don’t impose deadlines - we work around your schedule and ensure the process is as thorough and effective as it needs to be.

As a boutique and in-demand service, we have a waiting list to get started, which is typically a few weeks. While we may accommodate urgent requests where possible, our priority is always quality, strategic clarity, and delivering a brand that commands attention at the highest levels of the market. 3 business days (around 24 hours) goes in to each client engagement.

Our office is in Toronto. However, we work with senior leaders across Canada with consultations completed via video call with no requirement to visit our offices.

Our complete Executive Personal Branding service is a fixed investment of CA$2,499. This full service includes an executive resume, a branded and optimized LinkedIn profile, a targeted cover letter, an executive/networking bio, and a clearly articulated value proposition outreach letter - delivered as a cohesive personal brand designed to drive interview traction.

For those requiring a single asset only, an executive resume or a branded and optimized LinkedIn profile is priced at CA1,489 individually.

For complex transitions, international positioning, or staged engagements, we also offer flexible and phased approaches. You’re welcome to schedule a complimentary consultation to confirm the most appropriate scope.

While our core expertise lies in working with senior managers, directors, and executives, we do occasionally partner with senior professionals who are earlier in their leadership journey - particularly those who are serious about stepping up and ready to invest in positioning themselves for the next level.

If you’re committed to your career growth and want to work with a team that specialises in high-impact, results-driven branding, we’d be happy to explore whether we’re the right fit. Our services are premium by design, so it’s important to ensure the investment aligns with your goals and expectations. For professionals and recent graduates, it's unlikely you will benefit from an executive branding service at this stage of your career. We recommend booking a free consultation call to discuss your objectives and determine if our approach is right for you. If we're not the right fit - we're happy to point you in the right direction.

We’re a boutique service by design, 11 executive transition coaches working with a maximum of 60 new clients each month to ensure every engagement receives the time, strategy, and attention it deserves. As a result, our availability can vary depending on demand.

At peak times during the year, our waiting list can be up to eight weeks - but in most cases, we’re able to get started within a week or two. It all depends on our current workload and how many client engagements are already in progress.

We recommend booking your free consultation as soon as possible to ensure we can align with your preferred timelines.
