> @itsiskandar your point about an empty profile is true.  I have passed over applicants because of this reason.  Your last point about direction and expertise is also important - I actually used ChatGPT to help me review my resume and make my experience statements more concise and easier to read for specific themes/smells I wanted to resonate with a reader.  It worked really well I believe.

It provides no data or evidence to support its claims or compare X-Team with other remote work platforms. It also needs to address some potential challenges or drawbacks of working remotely, such as isolation, communication issues, or time zone differences.
