75% of resumes are filtered out before a human recruiter ever sees them. Build with single-column, machine-readable layouts designed specifically for Workday, Greenhouse, and Taleo.
Applicant Tracking Systems don't read documents the way humans do. Follow these principles to guarantee your qualifications are extracted accurately:
Multi-column layouts and floating text boxes cause parsing software to read horizontally across columns, merging unrelated jobs and creating gibberish text blocks.
Avoid creative titles like "Where I've Been" or "Core Superpowers". Always use standard titles: Work Experience, Education, Skills, and Professional Summary.
Graphic rating bars (e.g. 4/5 stars for Python) cannot be interpreted by parsers. Always format skills as clear, searchable text items separated by bullet points or clean comma lists.
Never save your resume as a scanned image, flat PNG, or flattened canvas. ResumeBuilderly exports true vector PDFs where all text can be selected, copied, and parsed.
Both automated screening algorithms and hiring managers favor resumes with concrete metrics (percentages, team sizes, dollar values). Use our AI bullet enhancer to structure bullets around the Google XYZ framework.
Engineered with zero graphic traps, balanced margins, and standardized hierarchies.
Single-column traditional layout with crisp divider lines. The gold standard for conservative corporate screening.
