Will Clarity pass applicant tracking systems?
Excellent for parsing: single column, large real text, standard headings, no low-contrast elements. One of the safest templates for older ATS software.

Questions about the Clarity template
Why is everything black?
Maximum contrast means maximum legibility — on screen, in print, and through scanners. Clarity trades color for readability and wins.
Do I need a photo for Clarity?
No. The layout works cleanly without one; the portrait is optional and the bold header carries the design on its own.
Is Clarity professional enough for office roles?
Yes — its discipline reads as confident and straightforward, which suits operations, admin, sales, and service roles well.
