I don't agree with you being mass-downvoted, since you're just espousing your opinion, even if it's one I don't agree with. That said, I think we're at a fundamental disagreement here; the recruiters would screw up the formatting in a way that would make the resume say things that are flatly untrue. It's not just aesthetic. For example, I used to put the amount of experience I had in different technologies, and because they would break the alignment it would look like I had more years experience with Node.js than Node.js had even existed at that point. When I would politely ask recruiters to, at the very least, send me the updated resume with their ugly logo so I could point these things out, they would universally agree and then never actually do it before sending it to the potential employer. This was literally 100% of the time, there was not a single outlier here. That's not nothing; a competent interviewer might think they've caught me in a lie and not move forward. I'm no exception; if I saw that a person said they had more experience with a technology than the laws of physics would dictate, I would assume they're full of shit and pass on the resume. So you tell me, what exactly should I do? Waste my time and the technically incompetent recruiter's time and the interviewer's time because they think I'm more qualified for something than I ever said I was? Or I could simply, hear me out, create a situation where these "non-tech people" can't screw this up, because they invariably would. I guess you can call it "arrogant" if you want, but I really think it's considerably less douchey than wasting everyone's time. With the advent of LLMs they could point Claude to the LaTeX source and get it in any format they want. Or they could, and I think they largely did, just forward the raw PDF (which I always provided), maybe using Preview to insert their ugly logo somewhere where it doesn't screw up formatting. If they had asked me to do the logo insertion, I would have inserted it myself because I'm not incompetent with typesetting. Frankly, though, the resume is actually working as intentional, because I do not believe that I would be a good culture-fit on your team so it would be best not to waste your time anyway.
