ATS (Applicant Tracking System) resume templates are designed to help job seekers get past automated screening systems used by many companies to filter applications. These templates prioritize clean, structured layouts that ensure key information — like work experience, skills, and education — is easily readable by both ATS software and human recruiters.
Please focus on simplicity, avoiding graphics, columns, or elements that may confuse the system. Clear headings, consistent formatting, and the strategic use of keywords help maximize the chances of passing the initial screening while maintaining a polished, professional look that makes a strong impression.

Key Requirements for ATS
1.
Use Standard Formatting
a.
Simple layout: Avoid complex formatting like tables, columns, text boxes, or images. ATS systems read text-based resumes more easily.
b.
Use a single-column format to help ATS software parse information correctly.
c.
Clear section headings: Use common headings such as "Work Experience," "Education," "Skills," and "Certifications" to make it easy for ATS to categorize your information.
2.
Simple Contact Information
a.
Full name, phone number, and email: ATS sometimes has difficulty processing extraneous information like social media handles in the header. Stick to the essentials in the contact section.
3.
Clarity in Formatting
a.
Short, direct bullet points: Use bullet points for job duties and achievements. This helps both ATS and hiring managers scan your resume easily.
b.
Exclude icons, logos, or decorative elements — these can confuse the system.
c.
Standard fonts: Stick to basic fonts like Noto Sans or Roboto. ATS may not be able to read resumes with fancy fonts.
4.
Avoid Headers and Footers
a.
Avoid using headers and footers for important information, as some ATS may fail to read this content correctly.
