Inspired CVs | Who We Are

David Chalmers is the owner and director of Inspired CVs and is responsible for launching the business nationwide and ensuring a high quality of service is maintained at all times.

After ten very successful years working within recruitment and HR for a range of high profile clients, David established his own recruitment business; Inspired Edge. By spending several months working closely with his top HR contacts David developed a full understanding of internal processes and screening procedures.

In 2008, in the midst of a recession that saw a huge impact on the Scottish job market, David established Inspired CVs to offer a range of CV, application and general employment services, giving candidates the best possible chance of securing their desired role.

David and his team of consultants pride themselves on offering a personalised service to each and every client of Inspired CVs, tailoring packages to match their needs and aspirations perfectly based on the initial free consultation.

The unique selling point of working with Inspired CVs is the ability to establish your key competencies and strengths before translating these into your CV and cover letter; making you stand out from the crowd.

"The CV is the 'key' to unlocking your potential, securing your future and getting the job and lifestyle you want. The CV is one of the most important documents you will ever have and is your first 'pitch' to a new employer. This first pitch needs to be top class to ensure you stand out in the most crowded job market for years. We aim to work with you to ensure your technical experience and skills are showcased in the best way to get you where you want to be"

George McKendrick

Owner Plan IT Contracts
Glasgow

George has been the owner of Plan It Contracts for nearly 20 years and having decided to go back into the employment market he contacted us for advice. George had been out of the jobs market for a long time and required coaching on how to search and apply for jobs. As well as two new CVs and a range of cover letters, George also received a list of HR contacts specific to his industry and personalised application coaching. George successfully obtained several interviews and is about to start a new position.

George's Testimonial

Earlier this year it became clear that I was going to have to close my business and seek a new career. Having worked with the same company for 20 years it became apparent that my CV was out of date and more importantly out of style.

After some enquires with a friend who had used Inspired CVs and was successful, I approached them to provide me with a new CV. In fact they provided several CVs in order to target particular areas of expertise that I have built up over the last 30 years. I was aware that there were CV templates available on the web and that I could write it myself, but I required someone whose knowledge of recruitment would make my CV stand out in this very demanding market place.

They also included vital cover letters to hit key words and phrases that would make my CV stand out. After an intense one to one training session from David I launched myself on S1 jobs and various jobs sites with excellent results, getting several phone calls and contacts.

I then secured an interview, and after further interview technique coaching, was successful in winning the position. I was so impressed by Inspired that I asked them to provide their services for my PA of 20 years and she was also successful in obtaining a job. In the hardest job market in 30 years give yourself the chance to stand out and use Inspired, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Moyra Taylor

Administration Manager at Frazer Nash Consultancy
Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire

Moyra came to Inspired CVs after being made redundant from her employer of 5 years. Moyra has not had to look for a new job in a while and was fairly nervous about the process. Moyra has been successful in securing several interviews and now has a management position after only a few weeks.

Moyra's Testimonial

The initial consultation put my mind at rest as they sat me down and went through my CV and made various suggestions to really sell me and my skills. I had my re-vamped CV within 36 hours and everyone has commented on how professional it is.

My re-vamped CV also secured me an interview through Inspired CVs parent company Inspired Edge.

I would highly recommend Inspired CVs to anyone who is looking for a new CV. Their manner and professionalism are second to none. I have secured a new post as the Administration Manager for a large consultancy and I am delighted I made the call to Inspired CVs.

Angela Battaglia

Accountancy Degree Student - Now with Advantage Accountancy
Glasgow

Angela came to Inspired CVs as she was looking to secure a part time position within an accountancy business while she finishes her degree. Her CV was re-formatted and tailored toward her specific degree along with a winning cover letter to really sell her personality and enthusiasm for her chosen subject. She was successful in securing a new part time post within a few weeks.

Angela's Testimonial

Shortly before starting the honours year of my Accounting degree I decided I needed to improve my CV to help me stand out in a competitive environment and gain a graduate job after university. I also wanted to find a part time job with an accountancy firm to gain some work experience. I had read an article about Inspired CVs a few months ago and arranged a consultation with David. He looked at my CV and explained in detail how it could be improved and all the services which the company provided. I chose to go with the graduate package which included the makeover of the CV as well as a cover letter. Within the week I received an outstanding, very professional CV that showed off my academic skills as well as my work experience.

Before I approached Inspired CVs I had applied to various positions over the months without even being invited for an interview, but only a few weeks after receiving my new CV I found a part time job with an accountancy firm that will also put me through my professional qualifications after I receive my degree. I am absolutely delighted and cannot recommend Inspired CVs enough! A big thank you!
