ATS-friendly CV template
Berlin Compact, with a teal accent.
Berlin keeps the single ATS column but tightens it. Headings are small, letter-spaced teal capitals with no rules, and the company, city and dates of each role share one line under the job title. A hairline separates your name and contact details from the rest.

What it suits
Applications through job portals and company career sites, where an applicant tracking system often reads the file before a person does. One column, standard headings and no photo keep the text in the order you wrote it.
Putting company, city and dates on one line saves a line per role, which helps a long history fit.
