Who it’s for

Optimised for graduates and early-career applicants where education leads and employment history is shorter. Clear ordering, a punchy executive summary, and prominent placement of academic achievements.

What you get

• Single-column layout, ATS-parser friendly.
• A 3–5 bullet executive summary tailored to the role you target at checkout, each bullet ≤75 words.
• Up to 18 explicit skills, drawn only from your source CV — no inferred or invented additions.
• British English throughout (organise, centre, specialised), no first-person pronouns in summary or bullets, banned-cliché list applied at the prompt level.
• Each role contains 1–6 bullets, with verbs strengthened and metrics preserved. We don’t stretch a thin role into six bullets.
• Empty sections are omitted (no “EDUCATION” heading sat above a blank space if you didn’t list any).
• Delivered as a Word document (.docx) by email; download link valid seven days.

Why ATS-safe matters

Applicant tracking systems are dumb HTML/XML parsers. Every PerfectCV ATS-safe template — including this one — strips layout tricks the parser can’t handle: tables for layout, embedded images, text boxes, multi-column flows, headers and footers. The output uses real heading structure rather than visual styling, so the ATS correctly maps your content into “Work experience”, “Education”, and “Skills” fields rather than dropping sections.

Specifically this template renders cleanly in Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Taleo, iCIMS, BambooHR, and SmartRecruiters. Different employer instances have different parser configurations, so we won’t promise a numerical match score — what we promise is that your content lands in the fields it should land in, rather than disappearing.

What our hallucination guardrail does on this template

A separate verification pass reads the generated CV side-by-side with your original. Every employer, job title, qualification, certification, language, and numeric claim must trace to the source. Anything that can’t is rejected (the order fails and refunds) or flagged for human review. We never invent metrics, embellish leadership scope, or add skills that aren’t already in your CV.

This matters more for some templates than others — the Executive layout has a prominent summary block that invites overstatement, so the verifier is especially aggressive about checking claims of leadership scope against the source. Modern ATS Classic and Graduate Fresh use the same checks, just with a less prominent summary block to police.

How to choose this template at checkout

On the upload form, after you’ve dropped your PDF or DOCX and the pre-payment text-extraction has succeeded, you’ll pick a template. Choose this one by clicking its card. You can also tick the cover-letter add-on (+£2) if you have a job description ready to paste — both deliver as separate Word documents in the same delivery email.
