In tests with different CV versions, text-first, minimal layouts seem to preserve information better than visually structured ones.
I’m curious how much real-world evidence there is behind common ATS advice versus folklore.
For those who’ve worked with hiring systems or done testing: Have you seen measurable differences in parsing accuracy based on layout?

Sophisticated ATSs use CV parsers such as Text Kernel, Rchili, and Dextra.
They don't just parse; they also return structured data from the CV, such as personal information, skills, work history, and dates.
Even for LLMs, I wrote a CV parser that uses Mistral OCR to extract the text and an LLM to structure the data, with great success, even for multilingual CVs.
