ATS tips
Pick an ATS-friendly layout
An ATS-friendly template keeps headings, dates, and bullets in a predictable order so applicant tracking software can read your file. It does not guarantee a job, but it helps your application reach a person when parsers are in use.
Use filters for tech, finance, or entry-level clusters, then export and validate. For roles you care about, run the keyword scanner and ATS checker on the same file.
Structure
Conventional headings and a clear reading order help parsers read your file.
Keywords
Mirror phrases from the job description naturally in bullets and skills.
Test export
Save a PDF or Word file and validate parsing before you submit.
- Use conventional section titles such as Experience, Education, and Skills.
- Keep tables, text boxes, and icon strips light so content stays in order.
- Mirror important phrases from the job description naturally.
- Export a test file and open it in the ATS checker when you change layout or font.
- Follow the employer’s file-type instructions first.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about templates, ATS, and pricing.
The best resume templates for 2026 use ATS-safe layouts: standard headings (Experience, Education, Skills), readable fonts, and a clear top-to-bottom order. NeuraCV offers 29+ free templates you can edit online, export as PDF or DOCX, and validate with the free ATS resume checker before you apply.
Use one column with standard headings in this order: contact line (name, city, email, phone, LinkedIn optional), a 2–3 line professional summary with role and specialty, Experience with company, title, dates, and metric-led bullets that mirror job-description keywords, Education with degree and year, and a Skills line matched to the posting. NeuraCV ATS-labelled templates follow this structure. Pick a layout on this page, edit in the builder, export PDF or DOCX, then run the free ATS resume checker if you want to validate parsing.
Yes. You can browse ATS resume templates and cover letter layouts on this page and open them in the editor at no upfront cost. Some premium exports or templates may require a subscription — pricing is shown before you confirm. For scoring an existing file, use the separate free ATS resume checker.
Pick an ATS-labelled layout with conventional headings (Experience, Education, Skills), readable fonts, and a clear top-to-bottom order. Single-column designs often parse most reliably; two-column layouts can work when sidebars stay simple. Filter by role or layout below, edit in NeuraCV, then export and run the free ATS checker if you are unsure.
ATS-labelled templates keep structure and typography restrained so applicant tracking software can read your sections. Creative templates add more visual style for human-first reviews. NeuraCV labels both — use ATS templates for job portals and boards, creative options for referrals or portfolio reviews. You can duplicate a document and keep both versions.
Browsing and opening layouts in the editor is part of the product flow. Some exports and premium templates are paid inside the app, and pricing is shown before you confirm. The ATS resume checker on our site is free for the score and feedback where offered (see the checker page for details).
ATS-labelled layouts use straightforward type and structure so parsers can read your sections. Creative layouts are labelled separately. Pick ATS-first files for automated job portals, and creative options when a human is the first reader.
Yes. Open the Cover Letters tab, choose a letter that fits your resume structure, and edit both inside NeuraCV so you are not juggling separate Word files.
Not automatically. Single-column layouts are often easier for parsers because content reads top to bottom in one stream. Two-column layouts can still parse well if headings stay conventional and sidebars do not hide text. Pick the structure that fits your story, then test your export in the ATS checker when in doubt.
Follow the employer’s instructions first. When the listing does not specify, use whichever format you can export cleanly from NeuraCV. Both can work with modern systems if fonts and structure stay simple.
Heavy graphics, icons, and dense tables can confuse some parsers or move text out of order. NeuraCV’s ATS-labelled templates keep decoration restrained so your roles and skills stay readable. Save flashy visuals for PDFs you send directly to people, not every automated portal.
Use ATS-labelled templates when you apply through job boards and applicant portals. Use creative templates when a person reviews your file first, such as referrals or portfolio reviews. You can duplicate a document in NeuraCV and keep both versions.
Choose a single-column or clearly ordered ATS-labelled layout with conservative typography, standard headings (Experience, Education, Skills), and space for metrics. Finance recruiters and parsers both favour scannable structure. Tailor keywords from each posting, then export and test in the free ATS resume checker if you are unsure.
Pick an ATS-labelled template with a dedicated skills block, concise role bullets, and room for tools and frameworks from the job description.
