That is going to be a non-starter for a lot of prospects. While yes, we can say that we are stripping out sensitive data this still feels sketchy.

I would just expand this form writing to communicating in general. Both written and verbal skills are important. Someone is just maybe more skillful with spoken words rather than written ones.

Remote work includes also a lot of meetings/calls.
