Are minimal resumes better for ATS?

Generally yes. Minimal templates use less complex formatting, making them easier for ATS to parse. They score consistently high on ATS compatibility tests because they prioritize text content over design elements.

Does a plain resume look boring to recruiters?

A well-designed minimal resume does not look boring — it looks confident. The key is strong typography, consistent spacing, and strategic use of white space. Recruiters in corporate and finance sectors actively prefer clean over flashy.
