This is very interesting Tyler! Do you know what crossed my mind? I'd love to see recruiters preferences vs people resumes. That would be quite enlightning!

Based on the recruiter responses from the dev discuss, I think most just expect a .pdf output.

I'd love to see a study done on if certain apps cause recruiters to be more likely to look closer at one resume over another.

I'd love to see a study done on if certain apps cause recruiters to be more likely to look closer at one resume over another.

Exactly my thought!

Few months ago found an online resume app, all the templates they were promoting were very clean, black and white, no graphics, very very neutral. I don't remember the name sorry! but called my attention that they said it was backed by a lot of research with real recruiters.

I Can't say if it's bs to attract users or don't, but since then I'm very curious about this topic.
