Who the Sable template suits

Sable is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a name-first main column and a soft tinted right panel holding a photo, contact details, skills and certificates.

  • Corporate
  • Finance
  • HR
  • Management

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 Sable ATS-friendly?

Partly. Sable 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 Sable when you email your CV or hand it over; for large online portals, a single-column template such as Vista 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.
