Cause

The resume for the candidate's application to the first job requisition is replaced when the candidate is submitted to a second requisition, because the candidate is in a "Forwarded" status.

Resolution

To submit the different resume on different jobs, the candidate submitted by the agency on a previous application should exist in the "Default" status, or any other status other than the "Forwarded" or "Invite to Apply" statuses.

Note: Recruiters can only put the candidate in "Default" status if late stage feature is enabled.

You can also follow the steps in KBA 2090228 to submit an enhancement request if you would like to see this expected behaviour change.
