Simple résumé templates

The 10 simple templates keep to the essentials: a single column, with one exception in Column, no decorative background, clean headings and a typeface chosen for legibility. This is the safest family for recruiting software (ATS), which reads a résumé from top to bottom and sometimes gets lost in columns or graphic elements.

Pure ATS and Ink suit every field. Office and Ledger, set in serif type, are made for legal, finance and public-sector roles; Carbon and Slate for tech profiles; Understated and Paper for health and education. Pick this family for a large company, a recruitment agency or any application made through an online form: that is where software reads your résumé before a recruiter does. Column splits the page in two for a denser profile.
