checks
Visual polish should never hide machine-readable meaning.
This check focuses on icon-heavy and decorative patterns that strip parseable context from key fields.
Risk patterns
Icon-only contact labels, decorative bars, and non-text semantics.
Why it matters
ATS systems often ignore visual cues and only evaluate plain extracted text.
Safer pattern
Use explicit text labels for every critical field and keep visuals secondary.
