Frequently Asked Questions
What is EnginuitySphere?
EnginuitySphere is a concierge platform that connects businesses with vetted independent experts for scoped, accountable engagements — built for emergency situations, cyclical demand, and skills too rare or expensive to staff full-time. It's a product owned and commercialized by Shively MES.
How is EnginuitySphere different from a general freelance marketplace?
We're concierge-matched, not a resume board. Every engagement is scoped before an expert is proposed, and freelancer-side paperwork (invoicing, contracting, compliance) is handled through EnginuityCore.
How fast can you respond to an emergency need?
Speed depends on how rare the required skill is, but emergency requests are flagged and routed for the fastest possible response. Tell us your urgency level — Emergency, Urgent, or Planned — on the contact form.
What if I don't know which product or package I need?
Select “Not sure — need guidance” on the contact form. A concierge specialist will help match your need to the right product or package.
I'm a freelancer — what does EnginuitySphere handle for me?
EnginuityCore manages your invoicing, quoting, payments, and compliance. EnginuityWorks and EnginuityPlanner connect you to matched opportunities. EnginuityForge, EnginuityPortfolio, and EnginuityConnect help you grow your skills, visibility, and professional network.
I'm a business — do I have to commit to long-term headcount?
No. Engagements are scoped — from a single fractional task (EnginuityPlanner) to a full project team (EnginuityWorks) to ongoing flexible capacity (EnginuityOnDemand) — with no forced conversion to permanent hiring.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. See our Confidentiality page for details on how intake and project information is handled.
Who is behind EnginuitySphere?
EnginuitySphere is backed by Shively Bros., a multigenerational, employee-owned company. See our About page for more.
