Is ATS Two-Column Standard ATS-friendly?
Moderate fit. Two columns put skills, certifications in a sidebar. Most modern parsers handle this, but older ones can read sidebars out of order. Use it for referrals, emailed applications and design-aware employers; for strict online portals pick a single-column template.
Who it suits
- Online applications, job portals and large employers' career sites
- Referrals, emailed and in-person applications where a stronger visual helps
- Any experience level — content-first and easy to scan
