What does a professional pharma CV rewrite cost?
A pharma-specialised CV rewrite at MoreThanCareer costs from €149 net (Starter) to €449 net (Executive); combined CV + LinkedIn packages run from €249 to €649 net. Every document is written personally by Andreas Schulz — a recruiter who spent 13 years inside Bayer AG, ICON and Syneos Health, has reviewed 50,000+ pharma CVs, and works daily with the ATS systems (Eightfold, Workday) that screen your application before any human sees it.
Your CV has to win twice
Every pharmaceutical application is judged twice. First by software: the applicant tracking system parses your CV, matches keywords and ranks you against the requisition. Then by a human: a recruiter who scans what survived in a few seconds and decides whether to keep reading. Most CVs fail at one of the two — a beautifully designed CV the ATS cannot parse, or a keyword-stuffed one no hiring manager wants to read.
I fix both sides, because I have sat on the other side of both: screening pharma CVs inside Bayer AG and two global Top 5 CROs, and advising the hiring managers who made the final call.

LinkedIn rewrite & rebranding: get found before you apply
Pharma recruiters do not wait for applications — they search LinkedIn directly, using precise terms for therapy areas, systems and functions. If your headline and About section do not contain the terms recruiters actually type, you are invisible at the exact moment it matters. I rewrite headlines, About sections and experience entries with the search behaviour I used myself as a talent acquisition partner — and for executives, I add featured-section curation, a recommendations strategy and thought-leadership positioning.
How it works
- Free 20-minute call — an honest assessment of your documents and situation. If a rewrite is not what you need, you will hear that too.
- Consultation & draft — a structured session on your trajectory, achievements and targets; then I write.
- Revisions — you review, we refine (1–5 rounds depending on package).
- Delivery & guidance — final documents plus practical guidance on using them.
Why an insider beats a generic CV service
- 13 years inside pharma talent acquisition — 8 at Bayer AG, 5 at ICON and Syneos Health — not an outside copywriter with a template.
- Daily hands-on work with Eightfold and Workday — the systems that filter DACH pharma applications.
- Function-specific depth: Clinical Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, QA, Market Access, R&D, Data Science, Manufacturing and Commercial.
- Documents in German, English or Polish — including the German Lebenslauf format.
- Transparent net prices, no upsell scripts, strict confidentiality.
- Rated 5/5 across 30 Google reviews.

Will my CV pass ATS systems like Workday or Eightfold?
No honest provider can guarantee an outcome — but every CV is built from daily, hands-on experience with the ATS platforms used across DACH pharma (Eightfold, Workday), so structure, parsing and keywords match how these systems actually read applications.
Do you write German Lebensläufe as well as English CVs?
Yes. Documents are written in German, English or Polish — including the German Lebenslauf format where DACH conventions differ from the international CV.
Is a cover letter included?
The Professional package includes an individually tailored cover letter and the Executive package a bespoke cover letter plus an executive biography. The Starter package focuses on CV and LinkedIn.
How confidential is the process?
Strictly confidential — many clients are employed executives in discreet searches. Documents and career details are never shared, and there are no public client lists.
Can you also run my job search for me?
Yes. Beyond documents, reverse recruitment programmes (TARGETED, MANAGED, DEDICATED) cover the full managed search: role sourcing, tailored applications and direct hiring-manager outreach.
