Consider the most important thing for visitors who come to this site.. finding jobs that are in the place they want and related to the technologies they know. You can currently go down by tags (though it took me 10 seconds to notice this) but I don't see a location search.

I think you need some sort of search or widget smack bang in the middle under the header that lets people do searches or filter by location and/or tags.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

The home page doesn't currently mention it, but you can browse by tags, location and by type of job (contract, telecommute, part-time, internship) on the "Jobs" section, http://job4dev.com/jobs/ . From there, you can get set any kind of filter you want, and get a custom RSS feed.

Yeah, you have the features - you just need to make them a lot more obvious and easy to interpret :-)

I agree that the home page needs more information about the filtering options. It's already on my list.

Do you have any suggestion for the "Jobs" page, though? How can we make it easier to interpret it?

Without going into too much detail, format the filtering better. For example, there's currently a mix of checkboxes, font sizes, text colors.. it needs to be more uniform UI wise and more prominent and friendly presentation wise.
