Who the Harbor template suits

Harbor is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a main career column on the left and a pale right sidebar for contact details, skills, languages and certificates.

  • Teaching
  • Healthcare
  • Corporate roles

Built without a photo, which suits the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, where photos are usually left off. If an employer expects one, you can add a photo in the builder.

Is Harbor ATS-friendly?

Partly. Harbor has two columns. Most current applicant tracking systems read two-column PDFs, but some older portals mix the sidebar text into the main column. Use Harbor when you email your CV or hand it over; for large online portals, a single-column template such as Ridge is the safer choice.

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