ATS-Friendly Resume Templates

What is an ATS?

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that companies use to scan, sort, and rank resumes before a recruiter sees them. If your resume uses complex formatting, tables, graphics, or non-standard headings, the ATS may misparse your information — and you'll get automatically rejected.

How Our Templates Beat ATS

Standard Headings

We use headings that every ATS recognizes: "Experience," "Education," "Skills." No creative variations that confuse parsing.

Clean HTML Structure

Proper semantic structure ensures ATS can extract your information accurately.

No Complex Layouts

While our templates look modern and professional, they use ATS-safe formatting that parses correctly every time.

Keyword-Optimized Sections

Skills sections are formatted for easy keyword matching — the primary way ATS ranks candidates.

ATS Resume Checklist

Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills)
Include keywords from the job description
Avoid headers/footers for critical information
Use standard fonts
Save as PDF (most ATS handle PDF well now)
Include both spelled-out terms and acronyms (e.g., "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)")
