Tech & Software CVs in the UK
ATS-safe CVs for UK engineering, product and data roles.
About the sector
UK tech recruiters skim for tech stack, scope and impact, usually in 8 seconds. We use a single-column layout (no skills bars or icons that confuse parsers), put the tech stack near the top, and quantify performance, scale and reliability.
Sector-specific CV tips
- Put the tech stack near the top of page 1, grouped by language / framework / infra.
- Quantify scale (req/s, users, data volume) and reliability (SLO, uptime).
- Mention specific deliverables and ownership ('led', 'shipped', 'on-call lead').
- Avoid two-column CVs, many UK ATS systems mis-parse them.
