Couldn't find an example of a generated résumé or themes.

Yup, I wanted to check a few PDF outputs. Shame.

I would love for there to be a formalized CV standard to avoid having to reenter the info on your resume into a job application.

There's more than one. If you can solve parsing CVs/resumes in to standardised formats reliably, you'll get bought by an ATS for a trazillion dollars.

Agreed, was looking for an example of the PDF or HTML output generated by this tool.

It seems to do a great job for what it claims to do, but I don't really understand the need for such a tool.

How often do you update your CV that you need an automated tool to do it? And why would you need it in 10 different formats?

Applicant tracking system. I.e. Taleo

One thing that I really wanted to do for hiring is to be able to put resumes on top of each other in a tool and slice and dice over time periods to see how a person's career has evolved be it in terms of companies they worked for, skills they picked up etc. Does anyone else feel the same need? Storing the resumes in a queryable format is a good first step towards my dream :)
