Who can create a team?
A Specialist account with a profile at least 90% complete. The creator becomes the owner. One person can own at most five active teams. A Company account does not create teams.
Does joining a team replace my specialist profile?
No. Your profile, skills and personal services stay yours. The team reads only your name, headline and photo from your profile and adds a separate context: the team page and team services.
Can I belong to more than one team?
Yes, without a limit. Only the number of teams you run as the owner is limited: five active ones.
Who can invite new members?
The owner and the managers. A member does not invite. You can invite a specialist with an account or any e-mail address. An e-mail invitation waits for registration.
Do I have to accept an invitation?
Yes. Membership exists only after acceptance. You can decline without giving a reason, and an unanswered invitation expires after 30 days.
Can every member edit the team?
No. The profile, services, portfolio, availability and invitations are changed by the owner and the managers. A member sees the team workspace but does not change it.
How do roles and permissions work?
There are three roles. The owner can do everything, including changing roles, transferring ownership, publishing and archiving the team. A manager acts on the team's behalf: profile, invitations, services, portfolio, inbox. A member is on the team and can leave it. There is exactly one owner, and they cannot leave without handing ownership over.
Can a team publish its own services?
Yes, once the team is published. Team services are created by the owner and the managers, up to 20 per team, in the same editor as personal services. The provider is the team.
How does a team service differ from a personal one?
By the provider. A personal service sits on the specialist's profile and says who delivers it. A team service sits under the team's address, is marked Team with the number of specialists, and can name contributors from among the members. Both land in the same marketplace.
Can a skills verification be attached to an invitation?
Yes. The owner or a manager attaches up to five assessments, each required or optional, and confirms their scope before sending. The invited person sees the requirements before deciding. This applies to invitations to existing accounts. An e-mail invitation goes without requirements.
Does accepting an invitation with assessments start an assessment?
No. After accepting you are on the team, and the assessments wait in your panel. An assessment starts only when you press start. A valid verification you already hold can be applied instead of a new attempt, if the requirement allows it.
Who sees the results of such a verification?
The people authorised to manage invitations, that is the owner and the managers, next to the invitation in the team workspace. The result is evidence, not a decision. Nobody is removed or promoted automatically.
Does the team see my private data?
No. The team sees your name in the form you set in your profile, your headline, photo and role. It does not see contact details, salary expectations or documents. On the public team page you appear only with a public profile.
Is a team the same as a Company account?
No. A Company account is a separate account type for an organisation that looks for specialists and recruits. A team is a group of Specialist accounts that offers work together. A Company account does not create teams, but it can write to them and ask about their services.
Does MySkillsSpace have an internal team chat?
No. A team holds conversations with clients: the thread belongs to the team, and the owner and the managers answer. There is no chat between members, no task boards and no video calls.
How does a client contact a team?
From the team's page or from the page of one of its services, with the Send message button. You need to be signed in, and a Company account is enough. The conversation lands in the team inbox, and the client gets a reply from the team.
Can I leave a team?
A manager and a member can leave at any time, from the team workspace. The owner first offers ownership to another member. Nothing changes until that member accepts, and then the previous owner becomes a manager.
