What is TYSEK?
TYSEK is being developed as a platform that helps businesses identify potentially relevant independent professionals for projects, specialist work and flexible support.
What types of work can I request?
TYSEK covers areas including Digital & Tech, Creative & Content, Marketing, Business Support, Flexible Temporary Work and Specialist Projects.
Do I need to know exactly which professional I need?
No. You can describe the outcome you want, the problem you need solved and the requirements you already know. The matching process can then help identify potentially relevant professional profiles.
What information should I include in my project brief?
Useful information includes the type of work, expected outcome, requirements, budget, timeline, location and working style. Links and additional context can also be useful.
How quickly will I receive a match?
Matching time can depend on the project and the availability of relevant professionals. TYSEK does not currently guarantee a specific response time or number of matches.
Can I request short-term or temporary support?
Yes. TYSEK is designed to support defined projects as well as short-term and flexible business requirements.
Does TYSEK guarantee that a professional is suitable?
No. Matching results identify potentially relevant profiles. Businesses should review the professional's information and make their own decision before starting an engagement.

Find out how professional profiles work and what information can help TYSEK identify relevant opportunities.
Who can join TYSEK?
TYSEK is intended for independent professionals, freelancers and people offering relevant skills across the categories supported by the platform.
Does it cost anything to join?
The initial TYSEK network can be free to join while the platform and business model are being developed and validated.
Does joining guarantee me work?
No. Joining the network does not guarantee projects, contracts, income or a particular number of opportunities.
What should I include in my profile?
Include your professional title, category, experience, specific skills, portfolio or website, LinkedIn profile, typical rate, availability and useful information about the work you do best.
Can I join if I am new to freelancing?
Yes. Professionals can provide their actual level of experience and skills. The network is not limited to one experience level.
Can I update my availability?
Keeping availability accurate is important because availability can influence whether a professional is relevant to a particular project.
How does the matching process work?
TYSEK is designed to compare the wider context of a project and professional profile rather than relying on a single keyword.
Does TYSEK use AI for matching?
Yes. TYSEK has an AI-assisted matching system designed to compare business project requirements with professional profiles and identify potentially relevant matches.
What does the AI consider?
Depending on the information available, matching can consider the service or category, skills, experience, project requirements, details, location, availability, budget and professional rates.
Is matching based only on keywords?
No. The system is designed to consider the broader information contained in the project and professional profile rather than relying only on an exact keyword match.
Does a high match score mean the professional is guaranteed to be right?
No. A match score is an indication of potential relevance, not a guarantee of suitability, quality, availability or successful completion of a project.
Can TYSEK match professionals to more than one type of project?
Yes. A professional's skills can be relevant across different categories and project types. The purpose of matching is to identify relevant opportunities rather than restrict people to a single label.
How are projects and payments handled?
TYSEK is currently focused on matching. Payment and commercial workflows can be introduced as the platform develops.
Does TYSEK currently process payments?
Payment functionality is part of the platform's ongoing development. Businesses and professionals should not assume that TYSEK currently processes or holds project payments unless a specific payment feature is clearly provided.
How might TYSEK make money?
Possible future models could include a business-side fee, subscription, commission or another commercial arrangement. The final model should be validated and confirmed before launch.
Who agrees the price of a project?
Unless a specific TYSEK payment or contracting workflow is introduced, the business and professional would need to agree the commercial terms of their engagement directly.
Does TYSEK guarantee payment for professionals?
No. Unless TYSEK introduces a formal payment-protection or managed-payment service, the platform should not be considered a guarantee of payment.
Information and responsible matching.
TYSEK is designed to use information provided by businesses and professionals to support relevant matching and communication.
Why does TYSEK ask for my information?
Business and professional information is used to understand project requirements, professional capabilities and potential matches.
Will my information automatically be shared with everyone?
TYSEK is designed around relevant matching rather than making every profile or project publicly searchable. Information sharing should be limited to what is appropriate for the platform's matching and contact processes.
Does TYSEK guarantee the identity or quality of every professional?
Not currently. Businesses should review the information available about a professional and carry out any checks they consider appropriate before engaging them.
Is TYSEK responsible for the work a professional delivers?
Matching a business with a professional does not by itself guarantee the quality, legality or outcome of the work. Appropriate terms, responsibilities and checks should be established before an engagement begins.
