cvsintellect··on How do you make people aware that there are better alternatives to doc resumes?
LaTeX is used for publishing papers & books. Hence it needs to be of extremely high quality. Here are a few reasons why LaTeX is better: http://nitens.org/taraborelli/latex and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX The difference will be all the more apparent when you will take print outs of LaTeX based pdf and see the results on paper! We recommend you give it a shot.

These are sample resumes we created to compare results: http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Modern.p... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Leadersh... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Euro.pdf

The templates that are currently available on our website are the most easily creatable through LaTeX. There are LaTeX templates available for each of the them. We intend to write custom LaTeX templates if the idea is well accepted by users. According to us we have not shown half of what LaTeX is capable of and yet we are getting a lot of positive response.

precisely what we have been thinking..now the problem is we aren't so big that we would talk to recruiters directly..while we hv reachd 1000 users in a month we still have a long way to go before we bring recruiters into picture..we are thinking of doing demos in colleges since they would be our early adopters..n talking to LaTeX devs on how we can shape this platform better..we are brainstorming on which direction to grow and how to spread the word while we stay free for users..

yes. we know of this problem and are actively thinking of finding a solution. may be create a recruiter login which allows users to share resume with recruiters and they tailoring it to their needs. its a far fetched thought though.
