Bold Header resume template
A free resume template with a coloured header band behind your name, for a stronger first impression. Still single-column, still exports as real selectable text.
A scaled preview of the layout. Your own content replaces the placeholder lines.
Who it suits
Applications where a little visual confidence helps — marketing, sales, product, agency and startup roles.
What it looks like
Your name, headline and contact line sit on a band in the accent colour you choose; everything below it is the standard single-column structure.
When to pick something else
Conservative sectors and printed applications. A colour band costs ink and, in law or banking, reads as louder than the room.

What makes this template ATS-safe
Every template on ATSVerse shares one structure, and only the styling changes. That structure is what applicant tracking software has to read:
- One column, top to bottom. No tables, no text boxes, no side panel that a parser could read across a line.
- Standard section headings. Experience, Education and Skills are labelled with the words parsers are trained on, not with creative alternatives.
- Contact details in the body. Never in a page header or footer, which many parsers skip.
- A real text PDF. The export is selectable text, not a flattened image, so the words can actually be extracted.
- A4 or US Letter. Switch page size without changing anything else.
ATSVerse is not affiliated with any employer or ATS vendor, and no template can promise how a particular employer's system will behave. What these rules remove is the common, avoidable ways a resume loses information on the way in.
