In my experience this never ends up being worth it. If you use a template people will complain you didn't design it yourself. If you don't use a template people will complain that it doesn't look professional. Rarely will anyone actually dig into your projects and take a look at them. You'll likely spend a lot of time creating a build system that no one will ever know or care about. The whole site will basically just be used to criticize you. Most HR workers won't even look at the site. Remember all they are capable of doing is looking for keywords on a resume. Plus no matter how fantastic your site is if you say something that they don't agree with that will actually count as a negative on you.

another thing to think about is you probably don't have as much content as you think you do. Ultimately your personal site is just going to be a kind of portfolio so if you don't have a lot of personal work that you can show the site's not going to look very good.

My advice is not to build it. Don't build a website. Don't build a single page app. Don't build a simple static page. Don't do anything other than hone your resume because that's all that matters to hr drones.
