ATS-friendly

ATS-friendly resume template

Most US employers with more than a few dozen staff filter applications through an applicant tracking system. If the ATS can't read your resume, a recruiter may never see it.

Every template marked ATS-safe follows the rules ATS parsers rely on, and we check each export's reading order automatically, so you can focus on the content. Banner, shown here, proves an ATS-friendly resume can still have colour: the band is decoration, and the text underneath stays in one clean column.

The rules every ATS-safe template follows

A single column, read top to bottom.
Standard section names: Summary, Experience, Education, Skills.
Contact details in the body, not the page header.
Common fonts: Arial, Georgia, Helvetica, Times.
Real text everywhere, with no images of text.

An ATS-friendly CV template follows the same rules

Whether you call it a resume or a CV, a parser treats it the same way. A longer CV with Publications or Grants sections stays ATS-friendly as long as it keeps one column and plain headings.

Tailor keywords to each job

ATS rank resumes partly by how closely they match the job description. Mirror the exact phrases the posting uses for skills and tools, such as 'project management' or 'Salesforce', where they honestly describe your experience.
