Who the Hatch template suits

Hatch is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a hatched blue strip down the right edge of every page, a serif name over a hatched underline and dates in a left column.

  • Engineering
  • Architecture
  • Construction
  • Manufacturing

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 Hatch ATS-friendly?

Yes. Hatch keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order.

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