Who the Inlet template suits

Inlet is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a quiet single column with hairline rules, muted headings and right-aligned dates.

  • Software engineering
  • IT
  • Data

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 Inlet ATS-friendly?

Yes. Inlet 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.
