Classic HR Professional Resume Template
Formal, serif, single-column résumé for HR and early-career corporate roles with compact section rules and ATS-friendly pagination.
An ATS-friendly resume template is a single-column (or carefully structured) layout with standard headings, real text instead of images, and no tables that scramble parsers such as Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever. Free includes 1 resume, a watermark-free PDF, and a standard portfolio. Pro unlocks unlimited resumes, unlimited ATS scoring, cover letters, academic CVs, and Pro portfolio themes.
Who it is for. HR, recruiting, and people-ops candidates who need a formal compact one-pager.
ATS notes. Formal serif single column with compact sections.
When not to use it. Not for creative portfolios or photo-forward hospitality markets.
Free plan: 1 resume with PDF export · ATS scoring is a Pro feature
Classic HR Professional is tailored to human resources specialists, recruiters, people operations leads, and early-career corporate candidates who need a formal, compact résumé. Serif typography, tight section rules, and one-column pagination keep the document professional and easy for ATS to parse.
HR hiring managers often look for evidence of policy work, employee relations, HRIS tools, and compliance awareness — this template gives you clear section boundaries to surface certifications (SHRM-CP, PHR), systems experience, and program ownership without visual distractions.
The layout prioritizes readability on a single page for mid-level roles while supporting page numbers when you need a second page for earlier career history or consulting engagements.
Build your HR résumé free — no sign-up required, no watermark on export. Open the template in our builder, align keywords with the job posting using our ATS checker, and download your PDF in minutes.
