Applicant tracking systems
Academic is a single column of real text with standard headings, no tables, text boxes, icons or images (except an optional photo, which this template doesn't use). That's the format parsers find easiest. What an ATS actually does.
Length
Academic CVs list publications, grants, teaching and service in full, so they often run to many pages. The builder doesn't apply the usual length check to this template. How to write an academic CV.
