Classic ATS is the most conservative template in the library: one column, standard section headings, no graphics, no tables. It is built for one job — getting every line of your resume parsed correctly by every applicant tracking system, from modern tools like Greenhouse and Lever to older enterprise systems like Taleo.
If you are applying through large-company portals, sending your resume to recruiters who re-upload it into their own systems, or you simply do not want to think about parsing risk at all, this is the safest default.
Typical industries: Banking and finance, insurance, healthcare administration, government and public sector, legal, logistics, and any Fortune-500-style application portal.
Roles where visual presentation is part of the evaluation — graphic design, brand design, or creative portfolios. For those, a portfolio link matters more than the resume layout, but you may still prefer a template with more visual personality.
No template can guarantee every system, but single-column layouts with standard headings and no graphics have the lowest known failure rate across major ATS platforms. This template avoids every common parsing trap we test for.
PDF preserves your formatting and is accepted by most modern ATS. If a job posting explicitly asks for Word format, export DOCX instead — the template stays parseable in both.
We intentionally leave photos out. Most US and UK ATS workflows discard them, some systems fail to parse around embedded images, and many employers screen out photo resumes for bias-compliance reasons.
Recruiters spend their first seconds on your job titles, companies, and results — not the styling. A clean layout puts that content first; the tailoring and keywords do the differentiating.
