Job application confirmation changes

oDesk is trying hard to reduce the number of messages we email you. Generally speaking, this means not sending confirmation emails for (non-financial) actions that can be instantly confirmed on-screen.

Effective immediately, providers no longer receive email or message center confirmations when they apply to jobs. You should check your status in My Candidacies.

Job application notifications are still sent in the following cases:

  1. If the user is an affiliated contractor, and the user applies to the job for himself, his staffing managers will still receive a notification.
  2. If the user is an affiliated contractor, and his staffing manager applies on his behalf, he will still receive a notification.
  3. If the user is a hiring manager, and a provider applies to his posted job, he will still receive a notification.

Good

In one way, I personally welcome this change. Hope you(oDesk) could concentrate on more important issues from now.
