ATSReady ships nine resume templates. The default fallback template is Classic.

The template list open in the editor, each template named with a sentence describing who it suits.
Each template is described by who it is for, not only by what it is called. The content underneath is the same document in all nine.

What matters most

  • Creative is not an ATS-safe template.
  • Harvard is the specialist template for the Government portal and Academic / research channels. ATS-Pure also supports Government portal, because many government portals run ATS ingestion, but Harvard is the one ATSReady recommends there first.
  • Professional and Creative are the two two-column layouts.
  • ATS-Pure and Harvard do not render an ordinary photo slot.
  • Changing template also changes the order the sections print in. See What a resume includes.
