takers
Those who accept
Takers are people who accept what's offered.
If you ask for volunteers and get no takers, nobody stepped forward.
The word often appears with modifiers indicating willingness: Any takers for the last slice?
A taker may also be someone who takes rather than gives—self-interested rather than generous: The world has givers and takers.
