Modern resume template that still passes ATS

Plenty of modern resume templates use sidebars, icons and skill meters. They look striking, but applicant tracking systems often scramble them, so your carefully designed resume reaches the recruiter as jumbled text.

Beacon gets its modern feel from typography instead: a two-weight name, accent-coloured section headings and clean spacing, all in one column. It looks current and parses cleanly.

Modern touches that are safe for ATS

  • A confident name with contrasting weights.
  • One accent colour on headings and your job title.
  • Clean sans-serif or modern serif type.
  • Generous, consistent spacing between sections.

What to avoid in a modern resume

  • Two-column layouts that some ATS read across rather than down.
  • Skill bars and ratings, which say nothing measurable.
  • Icons in place of words like 'Email' or 'Phone'.
  • Headers and footers holding key information, which some ATS skip.

Frequently asked questions

Are modern resumes OK for traditional industries?

Beacon is understated enough for most industries. For law, finance or government, Harbor's classic look may be a safer choice.

Can I change the accent colour?

Yes. Pick from nine tested accent colours and four font pairings in the builder. Each one stays readable when printed in black and white.
