Relevant existing facts can move closer to the top without copying requirements you do not meet.
What an ATS does
An applicant tracking system helps employers collect, search, and organise applications. A readable CV makes it easier for both software and people to identify your contact details, job history, education, and relevant skills.
There is no secret score or single template that guarantees selection. Eligibility, evidence, accuracy, and the employer’s own process still matter.
ATS CV checklist
Before downloading, compare the final CV with the vacancy and check each item.
- Use a clear job title and short factual professional summary.
- Keep dates and employer names consistent.
- Use words from the advert only when they describe your real background.
- Place genuinely relevant skills, tools, and licences where they are easy to find.
- Open the PDF and confirm that text can be selected and read in the right order.
When to use the compact ATS template
The ATS Compact One Page template is useful for short work histories, learnerships, internships, high-volume applications, and roles where a recruiter needs to scan the main evidence quickly.
Candidates with detailed technical, public-sector, or long employment histories may need a fuller template. The Job83 builder lets you change templates without re-entering the CV.

Frequently asked questions
Does an ATS reject every two-page CV?
No. Length alone is not a reliable rule. Use enough space to present relevant evidence clearly and remove repetition.
Should I copy every keyword from the job advert?
No. Use a keyword only when it truthfully describes your skill, qualification, licence, responsibility, or experience.
Are tables, columns, and icons always rejected?
Not always, but complex layouts can make reading order less predictable. Clear text and simple sections are safer defaults.
