As a worker (not a recruiter), I found the same as you. I used to send CVs (that's what they asked for), and they replied me with more info, because the bullet list wasn't enought.

After that, I don't send CVs anymore. I write a text (like a blog post) about what I know, what I did, how I did, what I enjoy, etc. Like a letter talking about myself. It worked perfectly everytime. I know recruiters may find boring to read a lot of them, but that's what I do now.

I think that's better than paper resume. It is very difficult to find right candidate when you look at hundreds of CVs and practically they all look same. Since few months, I started to ask online activity of candidates which is working quite well for me. We are happy with recent hires.
