Designed to pass the bots
Most applications are first read by software, not a person. Every Applygrid template is built to be parsed cleanly by applicant tracking systems.
- Standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that parsers recognise.
- Selectable, machine-readable text, never images of text.
- Logical reading order so your experience is read in the right sequence.
- Clean typography and spacing that also looks great to a human reviewer.

Which template should you pick?
Recruiters hire content, not decoration. Pick the layout that fits your industry, then spend your time on the words.
- Traditional industries (finance, law, healthcare, government): Minimal or Executive. Conservative reviewers read these fastest, and nothing distracts from your results.
- Tech and startups: Tech or Modern. A touch more personality while keeping the single-column reading order that parsers rely on.
- Design and creative roles: Creative or Elegant. Enough visual identity to signal taste, still fully machine-readable, your portfolio does the heavy lifting.
- Not sure? Start with Minimal. It is free, works for every role, and you can switch templates later without retyping anything.
