  I am interested in utilizing WordPress for a project that requires a two-sided marketplace model. Specifically, I need to ensure that WordPress offers the necessary features and flexibility to enable the following functionalities:

  User Roles: The ability to set up distinct user roles, such as ‘Job Seekers’ and ‘Job Posters,’ allowing each role to have specific privileges and capabilities.

  Listing Types: The option to create different listing types or categories to differentiate between jobs that users are willing to perform and jobs they need help with.

  Job Listings: The ability for users to create listings for the services they offer or the jobs they need help with, including relevant details such as job descriptions, skills, duration, and location.

  Thank you for your attention to this inquiry, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hey there,

  Happy to help you with this.

  User Roles: The ability to set up distinct user roles, such as ‘Job Seekers’ and ‘Job Posters,’ allowing each role to have specific privileges and capabilities.

  Listing Types: The option to create different listing types or categories to differentiate between jobs that users are willing to perform and jobs they need help with.

  Job Listings: The ability for users to create listings for the services they offer or the jobs they need help with, including relevant details such as job descriptions, skills, duration, and location.

  WordPress is capable of this, and this functionality is usually connected to both the theme and the plugins in use – and usually under roof.

  For example, this is an example of a directory style theme: https://themeforest.net/item/superlist-directory-wordpress-theme/13507181?ref=uxur whereby the functionality you describe is built in to both the theme, and the plugins in use.

  To employ these kind of themes and functionality, the site would need to be on the WordPress.com Business plan.

  Would you be willing to tell me more about the site you’re looking to build and what the site is for? Maybe I can suggest more themes/plugins that could help.

  I hope this helps thus far.
