Templates that parse
We start with the ATS template — built to the strictest parsing rules and designed carefully. Side columns, colour blocks and icon rows are precisely what stops a CV parsing, so anything that appears here clears that test first. More designs are in progress.
- Single column, no sidebar — columns get read out of order
- No tables or text boxes, the most common cause of parsing failure
- Standard section headings the software recognises
- Contact details as plain text, with no icons landing inside your phone number
- A system font, so the PDF carries a dependable Unicode map
- Real text PDF export, never an image
