Wait a minute: Do you mean LaTeX source code, or LaTeX generated PDF, or just PDF? And what do you mean by "recruiters"? The guy you will work with? the HR people? Or the agencies?

Most of all, why do "recruiters" hate "Latex"? (This is a real question, whose response might serve me soon.)

I'm going to guess here but... I think @iuguy meant LaTeX source code. PDF from latex is probably fine.

Why do they hate it? Because most of them probably can't open it.
