RegenCHOICE et Enquiry types
One individual wants some help, or service, or wants something doing; the other has the ability to help with it or to do it or provide the wanted service. In contrast with employment, with this enquiry type, no contract of employment is envisaged, though there may be a contract for a particular service. There is no ongoing obligation beyond the completion of the work. This category ranges from, on the one hand, simply doing some work for someone, to, on the other hand, helping the other do something, as in tuition, training, advice, or mentoring. There may not be a clear dividing line. Counselling, therapy and the like are included here.
This is not an enquiry type for corporate offerings, as the point is that the person helped may want to specify characteristics of the person they want as a helper, or vice versa.
The help given could be in the context of a trade or profession, and be paid; but could also potentially be voluntary or free. The currency involved may be alternative/complementary rather than state-backed.
A simple example is looking for a trades person. While for some, the kind of person is of little importance, for others it may be. You may be looking for a trades person from a particular community, or with a particular outlook. I do not know of any laws that regulate how individuals may choose another individual to work for them.
Some examples may be:
The characteristic distinguishing this from Sharing is that Sharing is symmetric, while this is asymmetric. What distinguishes this from Employment is that the helper is a private individual, perhaps self-employed, or volunteer, and that any contract is between two people, not between a person and a business.
What does the person wanting help need to know about the one they are asking help from?
What does the one offering help need to know about the one they are going to help? Again, it's not clear to me, maybe nothing. On the other hand, AirBnB rates guests as well as hosts, so maybe we should do that?
