Building and previewing your CV is free. The free download carries a watermark. A clean CV download without the watermark costs R19. A qualifying friend unlock can also remove it, under the conditions shown in the app. The jobs page and tips are free. We never charge you to apply for a job.
CV ZA is run by Vantum, a South African business. Vantum is the seller of your digital download. Prices are in South African rand and shown before payment. Capitec Pay and card payments are processed by Stitch or Paystack, as shown at checkout. Any manual bank or PayShap option is explained at checkout and unlocks only after payment is confirmed. Use only the methods shown in the app.
The clean download unlocks after payment confirmation. No physical item is shipped and the R19 purchase is not a subscription.
CV ZA is a tool that helps you write your own CV. The CV is yours: your words, your file, yours to send anywhere. The free version carries a watermark; the clean version requires payment or a qualifying friend unlock. You can use it for yourself or to help somebody else make theirs.
CV ZA is not an employment agency. We do not hire, we do not place people in jobs, we do not apply on your behalf, and we do not send your CV to anybody. Only you do that. Using CV ZA does not promise you an interview or a job, and nobody honest can promise you those.
The jobs page gathers entry level posts and learnerships from public sources and shows them in one place, refreshed every day. The adverts belong to the employers who posted them. When you tap apply, you go to the employer's own page and deal with them directly: we are not part of that conversation and we pass nothing about you to them.
We try to show real, current posts, but we did not write them and cannot stand behind every one. Check an advert the way our tips page shows before you spend money on a taxi, and if anyone connected to any advert asks you to pay to apply, it is a scam: report it and move on.
The AI buttons turn your own words into cleaner CV lines. The machine drafts, but you sign: read every line before you send your CV anywhere, because a machine can misunderstand you, and the CV goes out under your name, not ours. How the AI handles your text is on the privacy page.
The free AI has a daily limit shared by everyone. When a day's writing is used up, the buttons rest until tomorrow and everything else keeps working.
How we handle information is on the privacy page. The short of it: your CV text stays on your phone, and we message you only if you ticked the WhatsApp box.
CV ZA offers a free builder and optional paid downloads. We work to keep it up, but we cannot promise it will never be down, never have a fault, or that any employer will call you.
If you paid but your clean CV will not unlock or download, were charged twice, or received a faulty download, contact Vantum on WhatsApp 068 693 9017. Include your payment reference and describe the problem. Never send card details, a PIN or a banking password.
We will investigate and restore your download, correct the problem or refund the affected payment as appropriate. Refunds go through the original payment method where possible; the provider and bank determine processing time.
Check your CV preview before paying. Contact us about cancellation or a change of mind. These terms do not take away any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Vantum's website is vantum.co.za.
