Layout

Excellent
Photo
No photo

The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart.

The plainest version — text only. Built on a strict grid: a narrow label column on the left, a wide content area on the right, a fixed gutter between them. Nothing breaks the grid, and no visual device is used beyond typography and alignment.

How the ATS Plain template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Swiss grid

Built on a strict grid: a narrow label column on the left, a wide content area on the right, a fixed gutter between them. Nothing breaks the grid, and no visual device is used beyond typography and alignment.

Typography

Body and headings share one sans-serif family, reading equally cleanly on screen and in print.

Section headings

Section headings are distinguished by weight alone, leaving no decorative element on the page.

Use of colour

The template is entirely colourless. It looks identical on a black-and-white printer and in PDF viewers without a colour profile.

Density

Generous line spacing and plenty of white space. On short and mid-length resumes it lets the page breathe instead of forcing it to look full.

How skills are presented

Skills are grouped as technical, tools and soft, so an employer finds the category they are looking for directly.

When not to choose this template

  • Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
  • Creative roles where visual presentation forms part of the assessment
  • Very long career histories running past three pages

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the ATS Plain template

Is the ATS Plain template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “excellent”. The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

Does the ATS Plain template include a photo?

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart. If you are applying to employers who expect a photo, pick one of the templates that carries it as part of the design.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the ATS Plain template?

This template is deliberately colourless. If you want colour, pick one of the coloured variants in the same family.
