Coaching for Executives

Our coaches guide individuals through the complex executive search market, bring clarity and positivity to the process and develop focused interview strategies. Each leader is also supported by a comprehensive Executive Writing Package and full access to the Career Refinery Portal & App.

Writing for Executives
Our expert team brings each leader’s strengths and qualities to life through a suite of personal branding documents designed to spark interest and generate opportunities.
Support can include a powerful, keyword-optimised executive CV, a compelling LinkedIn profile, application letters and professional biographies. Our writers combine deep market insight with proven techniques to position every client as strongly as possible.
This approach has earned City CV multiple international industry awards, including Best Executive CV.

Wellbeing & Mental Health Support
Redundancy has a ripple effect across people’s lives. Job loss can trigger immediate anxiety and affect everything from self-confidence to family finances. For many leaders, the overriding question is, “What do I do now?”
City CV offers practical and emotional support for the stress, financial worries and personal or family issues that can arise. Executives can access regular mental health masterclasses and almost 100 wellbeing-related e-learning modules and articles through Career Refinery.
Our Wellbeing & Mental Health Support Helpline provides a safe space outside the workplace. Leaders can discuss their concerns with a wellbeing coach through short-term, 30-minute sessions and receive guidance on referrals where necessary.
Making your life easier
We understand that you and your colleagues are under pressure during periods of change, so we make the process straightforward. Once you partner with us, we take care of your exiting executives, leaving you free to support the wider organisation.
This provides meaningful support during redundancy or redeployment and demonstrates that senior employees are being treated with compassion and respect.
A managed transition
We begin by discussing your needs, the challenges you are facing and the options available. Our team then contacts each individual, introduces the programme and creates a personal plan that helps them take control of their future.
What our clients say
“The support City CV gave to my team and I, at a very difficult time, was invaluable. As a business leader, redundancies have to be one of the hardest situations to be involved in, for all concerned.
City CV’s practical advice and compassionate approach helped my staff feel better prepared for the changes they were facing and more positive about their future prospects.”
Head of Finance Business Partnering, British Airways
“No one could have prepared the hospitality industry for the devastating impact of Covid-19. As an employer, we wanted to ensure that we supported those people within our business who were impacted by redundancy in the best way we could.
City CV are a natural partner for us. Their specialist team have provided practical and emotional support to our people when they needed it most. The feedback has been extremely positive.”

“We employed City CV’s professional services to help support our colleagues who had selected voluntary redundancy. We wanted to provide them with assistance to find a future role and City CV provided an excellent, ready-made and fully coordinated programme.
Their knowledge and experience and the support they provided has made a huge difference to those that have used the service.”
