What makes a template ATS-friendly?
Applicant Tracking Systems parse resumes by reading text in a linear order. Complex layouts, columns, graphics, and unusual fonts confuse parsers — your information gets misread or completely skipped.
Resumeora templates are different:
- Single-column by default — ATS reads top-to-bottom, left-to-right without confusion
- Standard section headings — Experience, Education, Skills, Projects
- System fonts only — Arial, Calibri, Helvetica — no custom fonts
- No headers or footers — Contact information stays in main body
- Text-based content — No text inside images, charts, or graphics
