This. At my old job we had a repository of résumés which management used to promote the company and the people working there. The repository was full of nice-looking and sometimes funny (in a good way) résumés. One of them even had a nice xkcd comic (http://xkcd.com/378/ http://xkcd.com/378/). Then the company started to attract bigger customers, and these customers had their own HR departments. The next month, all résumés had to be resubmitted, no formatting, no images, table-based two-column layout. It took the fun out of an already boring document. The company I currently work for never asked my résumé, they saw a talk I gave at a conference, they knew my public contributions, and asked me to join them for one day. That was enough to convince them, as it should be.
