Who the ATS Minimal template is for
ATS Minimal is a ats-optimised layout aimed at anyone applying through large-company job portals, where an Applicant Tracking System parses your CV before a recruiter sees it. Minimalist two-page ATS template. Structured for software engineers and data professionals.
Why this layout works
Single-column flow, standard section headings and no text hidden inside images, tables or headers — the three things that most often break ATS parsing.
ATS performance
ATS Minimal scores 96/100 in NextCV's ATS analyser — among the highest-parsing layouts available, with effectively no structural elements that trip automated screening.
It scores 96/100, placing it below ATS Pro (98) among the 2 ats-optimised templates — it trades a little parser-friendliness for presentation. Across all 29 NextCV templates it ranks third for ATS parsing.
Pricing
ATS Minimal is a premium template, unlocked with a single one-time purchase of ₹11 (down from ₹99) — not a subscription. Once unlocked it stays available across every device you sign in on, and exports carry no watermark.
Tip for the ATS-Optimised format
Mirror the exact wording of the job posting in your skills section. ATS keyword matching is literal: "React.js" and "ReactJS" are not always treated as the same token.
Before applying, paste the job posting into the keyword analyser; it will show which terms your draft is missing.
