A Task Requester is a contextual definition of a user, whether an individual or organization, who is looking for a task to complete. For example, a Task Requester may be an individual who is seeking another individual (a Task Provider) to post a task for them accomplish. In order for the Task Requester to obtain a task from a Task Provider, the Task Requester must bid on the task and be chosen from the list of potential candidates (other Task Requesters). Examples of someone who may be a typical Task Requester are:
- A freelance graphic designer
- A contracting firm or subcontracting firm
- Engineering or Computer Science students who may be looking for work
- Someone who performs a trade, such as a bricklayer or landscaper
A Task Provider is a contextual definition of a user, whether an individual or organization, who is posting tasks that they want to be completed.

The Task Provider gets to choose from the potential Task Providers who have all bid on a specific task. Examples of someone who may be a typical Task Provider are:
- A startup company
- An individual or organization looking for a labourer or skilled tradesman
