Martin Ellis Email and Phone Number
It's worth pointing out to start with, that one client put it in writing that "You're a glitter-sh*tting unicorn" when they received their first draft CV. I think that's the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me.Your CV is a marketing document. Its only job is to present you as interesting enough to be invited to interview. It's not a dull and bland history lesson. It should show you as fit for today, and ready for tomorrow.Before I write it, I need about 30 minutes of your time to understand your ambition, your voice and your target audience. That 30 minutes asks no commitment from you in advance. That only follows at the end and if I've convinced you I understand what you need. The conversation won't be timed, will be informal and freewheeling, and always slip off at tangents - which is often where the golden nuggets are hidden - but we won't disappear down any rabbit holes either. I want to explore how to show you in the most compelling light - and in your voice, so there's a match between the CV-you and the interview-you. It doesn't work otherwise.That 30 minutes will come with some career insights and coaching. That's not my goal, but it happens if I ask the right questions. Most people ask me to help them at this point, but if you don't think I've 'got' you, no problem. I know this only functions properly if you're committed to it. It's relevant to tell you I've been the candidate, the hiring manager, the recruiter and the headhunter. I can get inside the head of your audience. I know how they work. It's not always predictable.The price for a full CV re-write and design is £238. That includes 30 minutes, the writing, editing and feedback sessions. I can send you more detail exactly how it works if you ask nicely.(My ideal audience is probably those ambitious souls looking to manage other managers for the first time, or established managers looking to escape career inertia that can develop from time to time - but anybody is welcome).

Owner | Headhunter | Recruiter | B2B ServicesSam Headhunting Apr 2006 - Dec 2010Uk And EuropeSAM was a great introduction to being a headhunter, and we built the business to 12 UK Partners with my Danish business partner. In 2011 I thought it could be done with more pace and that new technology held great efficiency opportunities, so I sold my shares and set off on my own.......This business was built on the sector specialties of the various partners who joined. I retained and developed B2B Services, but also learned a good deal from the other UK Partners who focused on Retail, Engineering, Life Sciences, Automotive and Sales and Marketing. -

Got most of them growing again, although some needed extra attention to overcome a stubborn streak. -
Managing DirectorRentokil Initial Australia Jan 1998 - Dec 1999Australia And New ZealandI was the Managing Director, based in Sydney for 2 years. Loved Sydney and the job. We stopped bleeding customers and employees and started growing again. I had a great time, but was dragged back kicking and screaming for a UK based promotion. -
Managing Director - Uk Healthcare DivisionRentokil Initial Jan 1997 - Dec 1998UkThis was a service provided for women, by women, in the washroom. The business had stopped growing and was losing customers and employees too quickly. Improved that and got promoted to run the Aussie outfit....... -
Managing DirectorAmbius United Kingdom Jan 1993 - Dec 1996This interior landscaping company was part of the Rentokil Group. I was handed a rag-bag of acquisitions and asked to weave them together into something that could grow with a nationwide footprint and consistent service standards. We added some other bolt-ons and managed to define our strengths and find our niche. Averaged 40% annual net profit growth and cleaned up the balance sheet. -
Marketing ManagerRentokil Pest Control Oct 1982 - Dec 1992London, United KingdomA great grounding for what was to follow. I was also seconded to some line positions for development. Learned stacks about sales, profit and people. -
Assistant To The Circulation DirectorThe Economist 1973 - 1982Far too long ago to matter - although it opened doors I never thought I could walk through - and it taught me the importance of deadlines - the presses will roll come whatever! They also drummed into me that I must write with simple, but not simplistic, clarity. That’s turned out rather useful for CV writing - everything for a reason... -
