It depends entirely on how the template is built. Here is what actually fails, what actually passes, and how to test yours tonight.
Screening systems parse your resume into fields before any person sees it. Templates built in tables and text boxes come out scrambled, dates divorced from jobs, sections out of order. Templates that put words inside graphics come out empty, because the machine cannot read a picture of text.
Either way you were never evaluated; the parse failed and the person after the software received noise.
“The machine cannot read a picture of text.”
A clean column. Standard section names the parsers were trained on. Real text, never text-in-images. Dates the machine can attach to the right jobs.
That is how every template we sell is built, and it is also why they survive the human read that comes after: the same clarity that feeds the parser feeds the six-second scan.
