There are hundreds of thousands providers on oDesk. You, however, don’t want 100,000 providers. You may want one provider — the one who offers the best combination of experience, reliability and affordability. And the thing is, you’re competing on any given day with dozens of other buyers to get her attention. On a random day this month, 550 jobs popped up for a search of Graphic Design, and nearly a thousand for PHP. We have a lot of talent on oDesk, and a lot of buyers, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t have first pick.
