Problems with oDesk Job Request

by Emir Hayric

Anytime I post a job for someone to perform Craigslist posting I get an email about policy violation and it is removed. Any ideas? I kept it as vague as possible and still the job posting got removed, what gives?

    Maybe because Craigslist postings are often regarded as being a breach of rules. That is all I can guess. Maybe don't mention Craigslist at all?

      That did cross my mind but when you type CL into the search field it brings back a lot of results. Most of the contractors state very clearly in their descriptions such things as "we have a team of posters that have all the tools needed to post live ads" or "expert Craigslist poster" etc.

      I think since I worded my first job request wrong I am flagged now and no matter what I post will be rejected unless I post a false job request then work with the contractor under oDesk's radar.

      Instead of creating a new thread can anyone recommend a place to find such a service? Fiverr has crossed my mind but that is more for quick turnaround things.

    You can run an ad in the Warriors for Hire section in this forum and you may get some takers. You can be above board then.
