Where skilled individuals and agile teams connect to get real projects done, without the noise.

Below are the most frequently asked questions to help you get started and understand what we’re building together.

What is SHX?

SHX (SkillsHiveX) is not just another networking group. It’s a curated, human-first community where real people work on real projects together.

It blends trusted collaboration, purpose-led work, and flexible opportunities,  with tools and culture designed for deeper, more meaningful engagement.

We’re creating an ecosystem where: – You can work at your own pace
– You collaborate with people you trust
– You build real value together

What makes SHX different from freelance marketplaces like Upwork or Fiverr?

SHX isn’t a gig platform. It’s a curated network where collaborators are chosen based on referrals, reputation, and shared values not price competition. There’s no race to the bottom.

Is SHX only for freelancers?

Not at all. SHX supports:

  • Solopreneurs
  • Consultants
  • Agencies
  • Fractionals
  • Independents
  • Hybrid users who work and hire

Whether you’re building a solo practice or scaling a project team, SHX flexes with you

What kinds of projects are on SHX?

You’ll find:

  • Strategic consulting
  • Marketing campaigns
  • UX/UI and product design
  • Web, app, and technical builds 

    Projects are posted by other freelancers or small agencies seeking reliable collaborators.

What is expected during a project?

You’ll be expected to:

  • Communicate clearly
  • Deliver on commitments
  • Engage in retrospectives
  • Use shared tools to manage workflow (e.g., Slack, Trello, Miro)

Why are retrospectives important?

Retrospectives feed into team selection. We learn:

  • Who works well with whom
  • Which roles fit certain projects
  • How to improve team dynamics over time

    This helps SHX form smarter, more effective collaborations.

Can I switch between freelancer and employer roles?

Yes. You can switch roles easily within your dashboard. Many members use SHX both to find work and to build project teams.

Can I invite others to join?

Absolutely. Once you’ve completed your onboarding and contributed to the community, you can refer others. You’ll earn rewards for successful referrals that lead to project engagement.

Is there a cost to join?

No upfront fees. SHX only earns when you do — through project engagement fees and share-in-success incentives.
