What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings with no rule
- Dates right-aligned against each role
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, font, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching template later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
Using Halyard as a CV
Halyard needs nothing changed to serve as a UK, Irish or Australian CV — those markets mean by "CV" exactly what the US means by "resume", and this is already that document. Add a photo and personal details only if you are applying into continental Europe.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Halyard the right choice?
Who it suits
About as neutral as this gets — a centred name, a rule, plain headings and three columns of skills. Safe anywhere.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column. Among the safest layouts on the site.
At two pages
Fine, if a little plain past the first page.
Use something else if
Standard for gridded contacts, or Aspen for a tighter version.
Other templates
Build it in the editor
Live preview, AI writing help, and an ATS-ready PDF. Free to start, and no card at any point.
