Modern candidate profile template with a side panel
A modern candidate profile puts the facts a client scans first, such as location, notice period, languages and key skills, in a coloured side panel, and keeps the career history in a clean main column, with room for a photo at the top. It reads well on screen, where most clients now open it. Formatix builds this template in your agency's brand and fills it from any CV in about a minute.
Clients read profiles on a laptop or phone between meetings. The two-column layout gives them the key facts without scrolling and keeps the narrative, the roles and achievements, where they expect it. The panel colour, fonts and logo come from your website, so it looks like yours from the first one.
10 free credits, no card needed. One credit fills one document.
An editable file with neutral branding and a fictional example candidate, to fill in by hand. Formatix fills it automatically from a CV.

Questions about this template
- What is in the side panel?
- Contact details, location, availability or notice period, languages, key skills and, if you want them, salary expectations and the candidate's reference number. The main column carries the summary, career history and education.
- Can the photo be removed?
- Yes. Ask for the photo slot to be removed and the template is rebuilt without it. Many UK and Nordic agencies use it that way.
- Will it keep my brand colours?
- Yes. The panel and headings use the colours, fonts and logo taken from your website or brand kit. You confirm them once and every profile uses them.
- Can I download this template?
- Yes. A free, editable Word version with neutral branding and a fictional example candidate is on this page, to fill in by hand. To have it rebuilt in your brand and filled automatically from a CV, use it in Formatix; what you keep is an editable Word file.
- Can I switch between the classic and modern layouts?
- Yes. Both can be in your workspace at the same time, and you pick one per client or per role.
