Mercury resume template
Corporate navy with Playfair headings. Executive and trustworthy.
Who the Mercury design suits
Mercury suits finance, banking, insurance, legal, accounting and corporate management candidates, from manager to C-level. Navy and a high-contrast serif signal steadiness to a conservative reader. It fits an executive search or board submission as well as a mid-career move inside a large company.
How the page is laid out
Mercury has a split header: a Playfair Display name with a muted title beneath on the left, contact details stacked with icons on the right, and a heavy navy rule below. Headings are navy capitals in Playfair, each with a small icon tile beside it and a thin navy underline across the page. Body text is Lato in one column; skills are inline lists with bold category labels, and project tags are pale navy.
How it reads to an ATS
Mercury reads in a single column below the header. The stacked contact details on the right are plain text; even if a parser places them after the name block, the email and phone still sit near the top. Section icons are images with no text. Standard headings, inline skills and real text throughout make it dependable with large corporate applicant tracking systems.
Best for: Single column · Executive · Classic. Free to use, exports selectable text a résumé parser can read, and edits entirely in your browser — no account and no upload.
