Explore All Resume Templates→Create an ATS-Friendly Resume
CTRLin's Resume Builder identifies its templates as ATS-friendly and describes them using clear section headings, readable fonts, and structured layouts.
Applicant Tracking Systems, commonly called ATS, are used by employers to process and organize job applications. A clearly structured resume can help keep important information such as skills, work experience, education, and achievements organized within the document.
CTRLin's ATS positioning is about resume structure and formatting. It does not guarantee that every resume will pass every Applicant Tracking System or guarantee a recruiter response.

CTRLin lets you preview your resume while you build it, giving you an opportunity to review how your actual career information appears in the selected template.
You can make changes, switch between available templates, and review the result before completing your resume. When your resume is ready, you can download the completed resume as a PDF for use in your job application process.
