Shift happens.

Your next chapter deserves a
great first impression.

Most professionals are far better than their LinkedIn profile or CV suggests. We fix that — for individuals in transition, senior leaders building presence, and organisations supporting both.

The problem

Your profile is costing you opportunities.

Hiring managers spend under 10 seconds on a LinkedIn profile. Most CVs never make it past an ATS. The talent is there — the presentation isn't.

What we do

Three services. Three packages.

From a single CV refresh to a full executive presence build — every level of seniority, every level of ambition.

Entry

CV Rewrite

We transform your CV from a list of responsibilities into a narrative of impact. Clean formatting, strong language, and a structure that makes recruiters keep reading.

CV + LinkedIn Rebuild

Everything in the CV rewrite, plus a full LinkedIn rebuild — headline, About, every experience entry, skills strategy. One coherent story across both touchpoints.

Flagship · Executive Tier

Executive Presence Package

For senior professionals who need more than a polished CV — they need a presence. A cohesive personal brand across every touchpoint, plus active introductions to the rooms you want to be in.

Our team

We've sat where recruiters sit.

When we rewrite your CV or LinkedIn, we're not guessing what works. We know exactly what makes a recruiter stop scrolling.

Founder & Lead Talent Strategist

Njenga Koimburi

Njenga founded Golden Pipit Careers after building a recruiting practice that has sourced talent across Latin America, East Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Strong candidates lose out not because they lack ability — but because their materials fail to communicate it. That insight became the foundation of this service.

Junior Recruiter

Joseph Wambugu

Joey brings energy and precision to every candidate he works with. With hands-on experience reviewing applications and coordinating interviews, he knows what gets a CV noticed — and what gets it filtered out.

Junior Recruiter

Dickson Zaqueu

Dickson combines a sharp eye for detail with a genuine investment in candidate outcomes. He understands the full journey a profile takes from submission to shortlist — and builds materials accordingly.

Process

Simple. Fast. Done in under a week.

Brief & Discovery

A focused conversation about your background, target roles, and what you want your next chapter to look like.

We Write

Our team rewrites your LinkedIn and CV from scratch — drawing on what we know about what hiring managers actually respond to.

Review & Launch

You review, we refine. Once you're happy, your new materials are ready to go. We're available for questions after.

Executive Presence track: 10 business days · three rounds of revisions · dedicated delivery call.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing.

All packages include premium digital delivery — your private, shareable optimisation report.

What clients say

Results that speak for themselves.

CV Rewrite

"I came to Golden Pipit Careers at a point where I knew my profile wasn't doing me justice — but I didn't know how to fix it. The team worked through my CV and LinkedIn with me, identifying exactly what needed to change and how to frame my experience more compellingly. Within eight weeks of making those changes, I had reached the final stage of two separate interviews. The difference was night and day."

Wanjiru Okoth

Project Manager · Nairobi

Repositioning & Pivot

"After a decade building clean energy ventures across East Africa, I made the decision to take my expertise independent — moving from employment into fractional consulting. GP Careers helped me reposition my profile to reflect that pivot: my LinkedIn now leads with what I bring to the table as a consultant, not just what I've done as an employee. Since relaunching my profile, I've had three inbound approaches from organisations looking for exactly the kind of senior energy expertise I offer."

Edwin N.

Independent Energy Consultant · East Africa

Career Re-entry

"After years dedicated to full-time motherhood, I knew I was ready to return — but I wasn't sure how to position myself or how to advocate for myself in the conversations that followed. Golden Pipit Careers walked me through the entire process: how to frame the gap, how to talk about my experience with confidence, and how to think clearly about compensation. I came away with a much sharper sense of what I bring to the table and how to ask for it. That clarity was worth the engagement."

Crystal W.

Returning Professional · Nairobi

LinkedIn Optimisation

"I came to Golden Pipit Careers wanting a sharper presence online — but I underestimated how much my LinkedIn was working against me until I saw what they did with it. The team didn't just polish what was there; they rebuilt it around the angles that actually matter to senior recruiters. The end result is a profile that finally reads at the level I'm operating at. The difference in inbound and engagement was almost immediate."

Andrew Kania

Business Analyst, NCBA · Nairobi

Ever considered going fractional?

Over the past several years, we have worked with fractional consultants both regionally and internationally — supporting professionals from Kenya, South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia, and Canada in making the transition from full-time employment to independent consulting. For most, that journey began with a profile rewrite: a repositioned LinkedIn, a sharper CV, and a clearer narrative about what they bring to the table as an independent practitioner. From there, we have leveraged our network of strategic partners to help them land their first — and subsequent — engagements. Every one of them is now consulting internationally.

Our track record speaks for itself. If you are a senior professional exploring what independence could look like, reach out. We would love to have a conversation.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

The things prospective clients most often want to know — before getting in touch.

What's the difference between the CV Rewrite and the CV + LinkedIn package? +

The CV Rewrite is exactly that — we transform your CV into a narrative of impact, with strong language and ATS-optimised formatting. The CV + LinkedIn package adds a full LinkedIn rebuild on top: headline, About, every experience entry, and a skills strategy designed to surface your profile to recruiters. Most of our clients choose CV + LinkedIn because the two need to tell the same story — recruiters cross-check both in the first 60 seconds.

What's actually included in the Executive Presence Package? +

Seven distinct deliverables: a fully rewritten LinkedIn, a board-register executive CV, a third-person executive bio, a custom one-page personal website, personal narrative coaching, targeted outreach to 10–15 matched companies in your first 60 days, and a feature on the Golden Pipit Network. You can see exactly how each deliverable looks in our anonymised executive sample report — every section, every rationale, every asset rendered.

Why does the Executive Presence Package start "from $750"? +

Because the actual scope varies by seniority. A COO with 18 years across three institutions has more to repackage than a recently promoted VP. The $750 floor covers the standard engagement; if your situation requires deeper work — additional board appointments to support, more complex narrative repositioning, more outreach — we confirm the final scope at the briefing call. You see the full price before any work begins.

How does the process actually work? +

Three steps. First, a brief and discovery conversation where we understand your background and target. Second, our team rewrites your materials from scratch — drawing on what we know about what hiring managers actually respond to. Third, you review, we refine, and your new materials are ready to go. For the entry tiers, that's done in 3–7 days. For Executive Presence, 10 business days with three rounds of revisions and a dedicated delivery call.

How long does each package take? +

CV Rewrite is delivered in 3–4 days. CV + LinkedIn in 7 days. Executive Presence in 10 business days. If you're working to a specific interview or board deadline, tell us at briefing — we'll confirm whether the timeline works before we begin. We don't take on engagements we can't deliver to your deadline.

What format do I receive my materials in? +

A premium digital report — a private, beautifully designed link that holds your rewritten LinkedIn (in copyable form), your CV (downloadable as PDF), and your section-by-section guidance. It's mobile-friendly, recruiter-ready, and yours to share or download. Executive Presence clients also receive their personal website on a private subdomain. You can see what one of our reports looks like under "premium delivery" above.

Will you write my CV in my voice, or your voice? +

Yours. Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation specifically so we can hear how you describe your work, your wins, and your point of view. The voice that comes back to you is your voice — sharpened, structured, and positioned to land. You will recognise yourself in every sentence we deliver. If anything ever reads like it could have been written about anyone else, that's our signal to rewrite it.

Are you a recruiter, or a CV writer? How does that affect what you produce? +

We're a retained recruiting firm that does career services. The distinction matters. We've sourced and shortlisted candidates internationally and across East Africa, which means we know exactly what makes a recruiter stop scrolling — because we are those recruiters. Most CV writers describe what they think hiring managers want. We tell you what they actually look at, in what order, and for how long. That's the difference.
