Is the profile picture mandatory?
At Malt we strongly believe in image: so without a picture, your profile isn't visible in the search results.
Furthermore, we are a network of professionals and your profile is a showcase for clients looking for freelancers. Having a professional picture helps build trust between you and your client.
We have noticed that a professional picture brings on average 5 times more views to your profile, so that makes you 5 times more likely to be contacted or even offered missions !
