As someone who has seen lots of visual/interactive resumes and done research in this field (I created Vizualize.me, an infographic resume site), I thought this was well done. We can argue design wise about its merit, but the point is, the desired outcome was achieved - it got your attention, it's on the front page, and it was unique. When I read this resume, I'm not paying attention to the actual content but rather to how different and interesting this is. This isn't supposed to merely appeal to a HR person or make HR's job easier. That's a very narrow way of seeing it. The best way to get a job is NOT through the HR department. It's to get the attention of higher ups who make the hiring decision. They are the ones who would more likely appreciate the creativeness, dedication and work put into this.
