Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the present invention provide a network based service for ordering contract workers. The system receives an order from a client, including criteria identifying qualifications for a worker. The system then notifies a set of suppliers of the order and receives at least one submission from a supplier, including information identifying a suggested worker intended to satisfy the order. The system forwards information corresponding to the submission to the client for review. After receiving from the client an approval associated with the suggested worker, the system notifies the suggested worker of the approval.
