Frequently asked questions
Is ATS Clean actually parsed reliably by applicant tracking systems?
Yes - it uses a single column, standard section headings, and no tables, icons, or multi-column skill grids, which is what most ATS parsers expect.
Can I change the accent color?
Yes. Open the builder and pick from several accent colors - the layout and section order stay ATS-safe either way.
How is ATS Clean different from ATS Focus or ATS Editorial?
All three share the same ATS-safe structure. ATS Clean is the most neutral one-column layout, ATS Focus leads with a stronger profile section, and ATS Editorial uses serif-forward typography for a more refined read.
Can I switch to a different template later without losing my content?
Yes - your CV content is stored independently of the template, so switching layouts in the builder carries everything over.
Which roles is ATS Clean best suited for?
It works well across most industries and seniority levels, and is a safe default when you are applying through job boards or company portals with automated screening.
