ByRecruiters

As every ATS works slightly different, we always test our templates with several methods to ensure they are fully optimized.

Firstly, we use Jobscan - resume-optimization software based on and tested with the most commonly used ATS, such as Taleo, Workday, Xeneka Factors (IBM) and iCIMS. (Our resumes were even featured on their site!)

Our templates are also tested with Skillsyncer.

Finally, we always triple-check templates by transforming them into plain-text. This allows us to see if there is any part of the template that may be skipped by less sophisticated ATS.

All ATS-friendly resume templates that are published in the shop have passed all three tests and proven to be fully optimized.

Even though some of our ATS-optimized templates have simple graphic elements, as lines or background shapes, the content will be read by ATS. ATS will not ‘see' graphics, but they will be able to normally read content, scan the keywords and compare it with the job you apply for, so you can be sure that your resume can get past the first filter.

All our listings are instant download digital products. Please note that no physical items are shipped.

Your purchased files will be available to download immediately once the payment is confirmed. You will also receive an email with a link to download.

You can re-download your purchased files at any time in your Etsy account under You > Purchases & Reviews, and click the Download button to the right of your order details.

The majority of our templates are Microsoft Word (.docx files) and Mac Pages (.pages) files formatted using text boxes filled with resume writing tips. With that type of formatting, editing a resume will be a smooth, user-friendly 'drag-and-drop' experience.

We also offer ATS-friendly resume template that are customized to be read by Applicant Tracking Systems. In these templates, the content is written in the body of a document, with minimal graphic elements.

You can easily edit both types of templates by typing your content directly over our text. Detailed instructions on how to edit content are included in the Resume Editing Guide included in the package.

Please do not resell or redistribute any purchased files from our shop. They are made for personal use only and can be printed multiple times for a single user.

If you want to purchase a product as a gift, please contact us for details on how to do so.

If you are a resume writer or a career coach, please purchase the commercial license along the resume template you’d like to use for your clients. In case you are considering buying multiple templates and licenses, please contact us for a special discount.

You will be able to cancel your order within 24 hours - but please make sure not to download any files. Once the files are downloaded, you will no longer be able to cancel the payment.

Due to the digital nature of the 'instant download' products, and immediate access to the intellectual property, once you have received the files, refunds and exchanges CANNOT be given for the templates.

But please contact us if you have any issues with your order. We are always happy to help.
