Best Practices for a Flawless ATS CV
Align your resume with the automatic reading standards recommended by leading recruitment departments in the tech sector.
| Category | Recommended Practice | Practice to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Typography | Standard legible fonts like Roboto, Arial, or Helvetica (10pt to 11pt) with clear bolding on your name, job titles, and companies. | Italic, decorative, or non-standard fonts. Avoid excessively small sizes (under 9.5pt). |
| Alignment | Strict left-alignment for the professional summary and achievements, guaranteeing natural linear parsing. | Justified text. Uneven spaces between words can fragment key phrases and confuse the robot. |
| Structure | Single-column continuous flow layout or native vector text columns to order the chronology. | HTML tables (<table>) or floating text boxes. Text inside them is extracted out of order or mixed. |
| Visual Elements | Standard clean bullets (- or •) to list your roles. Focus 100% on legible text. | Photos, company logos, bar charts to measure skills, or complex icons in text. |
| Dimensions | Uniform, consistent margins between 0.5 and 1 inch. Export to standard A4 or Letter page size. | Uneven or extremely small margins to force text, which ruins physical printing. |
Authority Quotes & Backing
"A simple single-column format, without tables or decorative images, increases the probability of an ATS parser indexing the resume correctly by up to 60%."
"The use of clear bolding on key job titles and company names reduces human review time (average of 6 seconds) and doubles the recruiter's visual retention rate."
"ATS algorithms systematically ignore text located inside headers, footers, or separate text boxes, resulting in premature rejections."
