TopResume Welcomes New CEO To Lead World’s Largest Resume-Writing Service Amid Economic Uncertainty for Anxious Job Seekers
TopResume, the world’s largest resume-writing service, announced two key hires to spearhead its leadership team. Byron Matthews is the company’s new Chief Executive Officer and Mike Ricciardelli is the new President and Chief Operating Officer. Prior to TopResume, Mr. Matthews was CEO and President of Miller Heiman Group and Chief Commercial Officer at Korn Ferry Digital.

“With more than 10 million Americans currently unemployed, one of the greatest challenges for our country right now spans career services and workplace satisfaction,” said Mr. Matthews. “As the world’s largest resume-writing service, we have the unique opportunity to empower job seekers to earn higher salaries and, ultimately, improve their careers — and their lives. It’s a huge honor, and an even bigger responsibility.”
To better understand the importance of working with a professional resume writer, TopResume commissioned an independent, industry-first study to determine if recruiters perceive candidates with professionally written resumes to be more employable, as well as if job seekers benefit from a professionally written resume. In summary, recruiters valued candidates with professionally written resumes to be worth thousands of dollars more in compensation than when assessed using their self-written versions. In fact, candidates with professionally written resumes were more likely to secure interviews, land a new job sooner, and advance their career faster.

I’m incredibly passionate about driving this mission.”
