I think you have identified a need and not a market.

My suggestion would be to charge a lot for the service (and hence be able to pay a lot for the proofing process), but have the payment delayed until the the applicant gets a job. This would align the interests of the proofreader and the CV owner.

Cheers for the suggestion, I think it's good way to keep both parts interested.

My first thought was to delay the payment till it passed the second review (max 5persons).

However I think your suggestion will get more tractions, the only downside is how to keep track on the applicant whether or not he got a job/interview. But who says it will be easy :).

One way to keep track of when a candidate gets a job is to make part of the service reviewing/setting up their linkedin profile as well. You then just need to watch the LinkedIn profile to see when they get a job.
