Switched from a ATS friendly resume to a resume that matches my portfolio's branding and have seen a drop in portfolio views.

There was recently a post on here that had a lot of upvotes saying that recruiters are looking for a more polished and visually designed resume over an ATS Friendly Word doc resume and GA is telling me that's not true. I spent a few hours building a resume in InDesign thinking maybe there was something true to what he was saying. My old resume was built in a Google Doc template that was recommended by r/jobs for being ATS friendly. Google Analytics shows a huge drop in people viewing my portfolio after I sent out my largest batch of applications on Monday. I think I'm going to switch back to my old resume but wanted to post about this in case anyone was thinking there was any truth to the post too. Stick with the ATS friendly resume.

ETA: Sorry, I feel like I should have been clearer about what I meant by polished. I meant designing something in a design tool and having more freedom to design things in a certain way versus a Word document where you're following a template. I believed before this experiment that a word processor document following a template is the user-friendly well-designed option because it follows conventions recruiters are accustomed to. I intended to merely comment on the results I've seen on Google Analytics of recruiters going from both versions of my resume to my portfolio.
