All templatesThe Minimal template with sample content. Your CV uses your own details, colours and fonts.
ATS-friendly CV template (Minimal)
One column of plain text with no icons, tables or graphics, built for applicant tracking systems. Every link is printed as readable text, because an ATS reads the words on the page, not where a link points.
Start a CV with this templateFree, and you can start before you sign up.
The layout
- A single column, read top to bottom, with no multi-column rows.
- No icons, graphics, tables or photo: nothing an ATS could misread.
- Your summary sits straight under your name, without a heading.
- Links written out in full, so they survive being copied as text.
Who it suits
- Applications through online job portals and large employers’ career sites.
- Any role where the CV is likely to be screened by software first.
- Anyone who prefers a quiet, text-first page.
Good to know
- Built for applicant tracking systems: one column of plain text.
- Never shows a photo.
- Set in Inter; you can change the fonts in the editor.
- Colours, spacing, section names and order are yours to change.
- Exports to PDF, with the same layout you see here.
If a person will read your CV first, or a photo is expected where you are applying, a layout like Modern shows more of you. See the Modern template
