What sets it apart

Bar and heavy name

A short accent bar runs in from the left edge of the page and stops just before your name, set large in bold black. Your contacts follow on one line, split by double slashes.
The summary box

Between the header and the columns, your summary sits in a full-width box with a thin outline in your colour. The box has a fixed height, so a long summary gets smaller type instead of spilling over.
Location in the side

The narrow left column lists Skills, Languages and then Location, where your address goes. Headings in both columns are bold, in the accent colour, over a black rule.

Who it suits

Accountants, engineers and project managers who prefer order to decoration
Candidates who want a photo that doesn't take over the page
Job seekers after a designed look that stays close to plain text

How an ATS reads it

Boxed gives a parser little to trip over. Apart from the small photo, the page is real, selectable text, with no letter-spacing and no icon in the contact line. Skills are a bulleted list of names; language levels are words, as in “English – Fluent”. The one layout point is the left column: a separate frame that some parsers may read out of order or mix into your experience.

FAQ

Questions about Boxed

A visitor asks a question at a help desk and the twin robot answers it

What if I leave the summary empty in Boxed?

Boxed leaves the box out. Both columns then start right under your name and contact line, which gives your experience more room on page 1. The photo and the colour bar stay as they are.

Which contact details appear under the name in Boxed?

Up to three, on one line: the first you've filled in from email, phone, AI twin link (when it's on), website, LinkedIn and GitHub. Your address never goes on that line; it appears in the left column under Location.

Is Boxed a good middle ground for ATS?

For many applications, yes. Among the designs with a photo, it is one of the plainest, and its two columns are the trade-off. For a large employer's strict online portal, send Plain ATS instead, and check your wording with the ATS score.
