Designed to pass the bots

Most applications are first read by software, not a person. Every Applygrid template is built to be parsed cleanly by applicant tracking systems.

  • Standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that parsers recognise.
  • Selectable, machine-readable text — never images of text.
  • Logical reading order so your experience is read in the right sequence.
  • Clean typography and spacing that also looks great to a human reviewer.
