I used to have mine in LaTeX, rendering a nice PDF. But here's the thing, you're up against automated CV parsing systems that you don't have any insight into - a total black box. And it's a different black box with every recruiter. If your CV fails to parse, then it kicks out into a manual system where the recruiter has to add it all in. And as the market isn't wonderful right now, I would lean into making your CV as simple and congruent with their systems as possible. Which is to say, maddeningly, you should Just Use Microsoft Word. I know, I know...

Recruiters don't waste time manually adding CVs that don't parse, that's why recruitment platforms ask a pdf of the cv and a plain text copy from candidates or god forbid one of those awful forms to input your cv again line by line... and if they don't require that, I'll assume a not parsing cv will just not be dealt with at all.
