The job search results page has undergone a major redesign that makes it easier to find the quality jobs you’re looking for.
So what’s all the fuss about?
- Looks: The page is now easily scanned from top-to-bottom highlighting the important details about a job. Focusing on only the most necessary information it lets you quickly identify the jobs that are the best fit.
- Search criteria: A clear and detailed display of the selected search criteria The controls to modify your search are kept out of the way until needed so you can focus on the jobs themselves.
- Modify Search: Job posts are now searchable by specific skills as well as generic keywords.
- Buyer details: Easy-to-read icons denote buyer activity and feedback scores at a glance. Full details are found by mousing-over the icons.
- Filter sidebar: An adjustable criteria display that narrows down search results by category, sub-category and Groups.
This is just a first step and we will continue making improvements to the job search pages in the next few months.
Please share your feedback and suggestions for ongoing improvement in the comments.
If you have any enhancement ideas please share them with us in our new feedback forum.

I would like to see the number of applications/invitations/interviews listed on the jobs listing page again. That information was very helpful to me. If I saw that the buyer had already interviewed a number of providers, I knew it was not worth my time to apply. This information is still available on the page for each job itself, but I would like to see it on the main listings page again.
Thanks for considering our feedback and for working hard to improve the site!

First of all you should check out the starting page for job search. When you click the link to search for jobs you are redirected to the old style search.
Second, please move the search details back to the left side – I kind of got used to it and now get really confused because the panel with the search category has been moved to the right side.
Third, the search button in the new look has been hidden and I have to open the modify search to see it – this prevents me from quickly refreshing the list of jobs.

I, too, would like to see the number of applications/invitations/interviews listed on the jobs listing page without going into the job details.

The old page was great, now I cant even differentiate which buyer has his payment method verified, in progress or not verified unless I hover my mouse over the small icon. This is really annoying, normally I would bid for jobs where the payment method verification is in progress, now I have to keep checking that.

I noticed the changes earlier today as soon as the site went back from maintenance. I am glad that oDesk is improving its appearance and service lately. Go oDesk!
