ATS Questions

Common questions about ATS templates

Does ATS-friendly mean the resume has to look plain?

No. The goal is readable structure, not boring design. MarcaniCV's ATS-focused set keeps hierarchy clean while still looking polished.

Are only these templates usable for ATS applications?

No. Many templates remain readable, but ATS Optimized is reserved for the audited lower-risk set with the strongest parsing case.

Should I always choose an ATS template?

Choose one when you want the safer baseline for stricter hiring systems. If presentation matters more than parser conservatism, other templates may still be a good fit.
