I've had plenty of recruiters that could ignore silly resume mistakes and find gem candidates. I've also hired candidates with horrible resumes, and it's never been a problem.

Evaluate a candidate based on their experience and qualifications, everything else is just to satisfy our own egos.

That's as much survivorship bias as it is to hire someone based on their attention to details.

Well, as I said I typically hire in design and product, so "proven ability to produce high-quality written content" is often an important qualification.
