Halo CV Template — Free Download

Halo puts your photo at the centre of a band of soft rings that spread out across the header, like ripples on still water. The rings stay dark behind your name so it reads cleanly in white, and the rest of the page is one calm, ATS-friendly column. A warm choice for people-facing work such as healthcare, coaching and client services.

Who the Halo template suits

Halo is a good fit for any career stage. At a glance: a deep teal header band of concentric rings radiating from a framed round photo, with the name in white, over a single column with ring markers.

  • Healthcare
  • Coaching
  • Client services
  • Social care

Designed around a photo, which is common in much of mainland Europe, the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia. For the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, switch the photo off: the layout still looks complete without it.

Is Halo ATS-friendly?

Yes. Halo keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order. The coloured header is only a background: your name and contact details are real text.

Whichever template you pick, download your PDF and run it through our free ATS checker to see the text a tracking system extracts.
