Halcyon resume template
A calm cyan sidebar with a photo. Friendly, fresh, easy to scan.
Who the Halcyon design suits
Halcyon suits nurses, therapists, teachers, hospitality staff, customer service leads and junior professionals in countries where a photo is expected on a résumé. Its pale cyan sidebar is friendly and fresh. Candidates in the US, UK or Canada can use it with the photo turned off.
How the page is laid out
Halcyon has a white main column on the left and a pale cyan sidebar on the right, about a third wide, edged with a fine line. A round, medium-size photo is switched on by default and appears once a picture is added. The name is large Figtree with a teal title and icon contact lines. Headings are letter-spaced teal capitals beside an icon tile. The sidebar holds rounded teal skill pills, language dots, certifications and awards.
How it reads to an ATS
Halcyon is read main column first, then the right sidebar. The photo is an image a parser skips. In Germany, much of continental Europe, the Middle East and East Asia a photo is common; in the US, UK and Canada most recruiters prefer none, partly to avoid bias claims. All other text is real and selectable.
Best for: Two column · Modern · Photo. Free to use, exports selectable text a résumé parser can read, and edits entirely in your browser — no account and no upload.
