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.

Numbered sections, formal register — safest for public sector applications. Sections are numbered in sequence and content begins at a fixed indent, close to public-sector document convention. Because the numbering does not disturb the single-column flow, a parser still reads the document in plain text order.

Layout

How the Remote ATS template is built

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

Numbered sections, formal document register

Sections are numbered in sequence and content begins at a fixed indent, close to public-sector document convention. Because the numbering does not disturb the single-column flow, a parser still reads the document in plain text order.

Typography

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

Section headings

A coloured vertical bar sits to the left of each section heading, so sections are found quickly from the edge of 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

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

How skills are presented

Skills are listed on one line separated by dots. It is the safest form for keyword matching.

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 Remote ATS template

Is the Remote ATS 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 Remote ATS 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 Remote ATS template?

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