VocaCV builder
A CV builder that makes ATS-friendly CVs.
Most applications are read by software before a person ever sees them. Every Voca template is single-column, standard-headed, and real text throughout — so your experience is parsed correctly instead of quietly dropped. Write it once, then switch designs without retyping a word.
Free template included · Real-text PDF · No subscription
Five templates, five registers
MeridianFree
Editorial and accented — letterspaced headings over short colour rules, with a generous name treatment.
Atlas
Structured and modern — a tinted identity band with a timeline rail marking each role.
Clarity
Calm and uncluttered — section labels set in a left gutter beside the content, with no rules or colour.
Compact
Dense and efficient — tinted heading bars and single-line entries, for fitting a long history on one page.
Formal
Traditional and serif — a centred identity block and small-caps headings between rules, for law, academia and finance.
Every one of them is ATS-friendly. Meridian is free; the other four are covered by a single one-time purchase, and all five can be previewed first.
How it works
Pick a design
Five templates, spread deliberately across registers — designed and modern through to traditional serif. Preview any of them filled with real content before you commit to one.
Fill in six short steps
Contact, summary, experience, education, skills, extras. One screen at a time, saved as you go, so a half-finished CV is still there when you come back.
Download the PDF
Real text, properly structured — not an image of a CV. Switch template later and the same content re-renders in the new design without retyping anything.
Why build it here
ATS-friendly by construction
Single column, standard headings, and real selectable text throughout — so the applicant tracking system between you and the hiring manager reads every field correctly instead of dropping half of them.
Restyle without retyping
Your content and its design are separate. Change your mind about the template and the CV you already wrote re-renders in it — no copying text between documents.
Built for the interview after it
The CV gets you the interview; Voca also runs the interview practice. Same account, so you can go from finished PDF to a scored mock round in the role you just applied for.
Written, not generated
You write your own experience. Nothing invents achievements you never had — the kind of thing that collapses the moment an interviewer asks a follow-up.
Common questions
What does ATS-friendly actually mean?
Most applications are read by an applicant tracking system before a person sees them. Multi-column layouts, text baked into images, and unusual section headings all cause fields to be parsed wrongly or missed entirely. Every Voca template is single-column with standard headings and real text, which is what lets those systems read it correctly.
Is it free?
The Meridian template is free to use and download. The other four are covered by a single one-time purchase — not a subscription — and you can preview all of them before deciding whether any is worth paying for.
Can I change template after writing my CV?
Yes, and that is the point of keeping content and design separate. Pick a different template and the CV you already wrote re-renders in it immediately. Nothing is retyped and nothing is lost.
What format do I get?
A PDF with real, selectable text — the format employers and tracking systems expect. You can download it as many times as you like, and re-download after editing.
Do I need an account?
Yes, so your CV is saved and you can come back to it rather than losing a half-finished draft. Signing up is free and the Meridian template needs no payment at all.
Write it once, use it everywhere
Six short steps to a PDF an employer's software can actually read — and a template you can change your mind about afterwards without starting over.
