Modern Minimal Resume Template
Single-column sans layout with accent rules and ATS-friendly flow.
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. Software, product, and startup roles that want a clean sans-serif one-column page.
ATS notes. Single-column ATS-safe structure with semantic headings.
When not to use it. Skip it if a conservative bank or law firm expects a serif Harvard-style page.
Free plan: 1 resume with PDF export · ATS scoring is a Pro feature
Modern Minimal is a contemporary single-column résumé: clean sans-serif type, subtle accent rules, and whitespace. Free includes 1 resume PDF with no watermark.
The layout is strictly single-column, the safest structure for ATS parsers. Headings, bullets, and skills flow in a predictable order with no sidebars, icons, or text boxes that scramble automated screening. Ideal for tech, product, marketing, startups, and any role where clarity beats ornament.
Use Modern Minimal for mid-level ICs, career changers, and students who want something sharper than a default Word template. Density controls let you fit more on one page without breaking the design.
Open the builder with Modern Minimal pre-selected. The free plan includes 1 resume and a watermark-free PDF. Unlimited extra resumes and ATS scoring are Pro.
