People providing the jobs are called Requesters. The jobs posted are called Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) and include exercises such as choosing the best photograph from among a pile of photos or identifying the performers from a musical album.

They can then enter their qualifications, which are usually verified with testing done by the program. Providers apply to jobs that they find suitable, however; they cannot be forced to work on a certain project against their will.
