Introducing "Featured Job" Posts

We’re rolling out a new way for clients to find and hire great freelancers in less time. “Featured Jobs” is an upgrade option clients can purchase to highlight their job more prominently than others. For a one-time fee of $29.99, clients that upgrade their job to a “Featured Job” will receive:

  • A “Featured Job” badge on their job post
  • The ability to move their job up to the top of search results several times.
  • An email showcasing their job to Top Rated and Rising Talent freelancers along with a discount for those freelancers when they work on these jobs.
  • Behind the scenes shortlisting help.

 

All freelancers will see “Featured Jobs’ in their job search and on their job details page. The badge will look like the image shown below:

We’re testing out this feature to a limited amount of clients, so not everyone will have this option yet. We will let you know when this has rolled out to all clients.

For the first time today I've completed a ''Featured Job'' project with a new client on Upwork. But the most funny part is I wasn't aware of that until today few hours ago!! Smiley Tongue When I looked at my ''Reports'' tab and noticed the pending amount to be a bit unusual as I was thinking about 20% fee!! To clear my confusion I visited to ''Transaction History'' tab and found I was charged 10% fee which didn't make sense! After that I opened the job post page and then I saw it was actually a ''Feature Job'' Smiley LOL The client was awesome, he liked my work, appreciated it with bonus payment and offered me another project. So the experience of working on a Featured Job has been great so far!!

 

Note: I was invited to that job by a Talent Specialist!

Hi Lena,

 

I'd read those responses one by one but cant see if i earned more than $10K USD will it become 5% for the Upwork Fee or still 10%. Like forever 10% Fee?

Thank you Lena!

 

All the best!

Hi Jaeson,

 

Once you have earned more than $10K with one client your fee will be reduced to %5. To learn more about this check out this Help Article. Thank you.

Thanks Goran. I just need a clarificaiton if the Upwork Fee of a "Featured Job" will become 5% once you earned $10K for the Client - because what i can only see in the posts and notification is "Skip the 20%", "Upwork Fee is 10%" and I dont see the 5% one.

Thanks!

Hi Jaeson,


I`m sorry about the delay with this, and yes your fee will be reduced to 5% after earning more than $10k with your client. Thank you.

Are there plans to update the filtering capabilities to be able to search for only featured jobs?
