Which kind of template should you choose?
Pick by where the resume is going, not only by looks. A template can sit in several categories; the counts show how many fit each one.
ATS Friendly templates39
Plain reading order and standard headings — the safest choice for online application portals.
Professional templates46
Conservative, readable layouts that suit most corporate and public-sector roles.
Modern templates59
Current designs with colour, sidebars and a clear visual hierarchy.
Minimal templates19
Lots of white space and very little decoration, so the content does the work.
Executive templates21
Senior-leadership layouts that put scope, budgets and results first.
Creative templates49
Design-led layouts for portfolios, media, marketing and agencies.
Entry Level templates52
One-page, easy-to-read layouts for a first job, where projects, education and part-time work carry the page.
Graduate templates22
For a first job after university, where education and projects lead.
Student templates52
One-page layouts for internships, placements and part-time jobs.
Technical templates26
For software, data, engineering and IT roles, with room for grouped skills and projects.
Corporate templates18
Restrained designs for finance, consulting, law and large organisations.
European CV templates18
A4 layouts for European applications: Europass-style structure, or a photo slot and personal details where employers expect them.
UAE / Dubai CV templates17
For the Gulf: a professional photo plus room for nationality, visa status and other personal details recruiters there ask for.
International templates13
Made for regional conventions: Europass-style, GCC (photo and personal details) and other markets.
How the ATS ratings are measured
Each template was exported to PDF with sample content and the text was read back with at least two independent PDF text extractors — the same thing an applicant tracking system does first. The rating reflects whether your name, contact details, headings, job titles and dates come out in the order a person would read them.
- 5/5Excellent. Safe for any online application.
- 4/5Very good. Fine for most online applications.
- 3/5Good. Better for direct applications than portals.
- 2/5Visual. For portfolios and direct contact, not ATS portals.
Switching templates never loses your work
Your content and the design are stored separately. “Use template” opens the editor with your existing resume in the new design; if you haven't started, it opens with sample text you can overwrite. You can switch as often as you like, and keep a plain ATS version alongside a designed one using Versions in the editor.
