ATS Compatibility

This template prioritizes visual impact while maintaining functional ATS compatibility. Most modern applicant tracking systems handle it well, though heavily styled elements may be simplified during parsing. If you’re applying to companies known to use older ATS software, consider pairing this with a plainer version for the initial submission.

The single-column layout reads top-to-bottom, matching exactly how ATS software scans documents. There’s zero risk of content reordering.

Best suited for roles where visual presentation matters: design, marketing, creative, and startup environments.
For maximum compatibility, submit a simpler template version through ATS portals and use this template for direct emails or portfolio submissions.
Core content (experience, education, skills) still parses correctly — visual styling is what may be simplified.
