I used to get literally hundreds of resumes when I was on the recruiting committee for different AMLaw 100 law firms, and using accents on "resume" was the kind of glitch I'd look for dustbin a resume. I mean a typo or misspelling was a capital offense. If the resume said the candidate was top 10% from a top school, and was born in France I'd maybe overlook it. But when you have a gazillion people to sift through, you look for easy ways to sift through them.
