CV Templates That Get Past UK ATS
Every Pika template is tested against the ATS systems used by UK employers - Workday, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Lever, and SmartRecruiters. Clean section headings, single-column layouts, and standard fonts ensure your CV is parsed correctly and reaches a human recruiter.
Choosing the Right CV Style for Your Industry
Finance, law, government, and corporate roles in the UK favour traditional CV styles - clean typography, conservative formatting, no colour. Tech, marketing, and creative roles welcome modern or contemporary designs with subtle colour accents. Design, advertising, and media roles can use creative templates that show personality without sacrificing ATS compatibility.
