JSS

[Igor S]

Hi, I'm not worked on Upwork 14 months. My job success was 90-95% always. A month ago it was 75%, 2 weeks ago it was 60%, today is 50%.
What is happened, is it joke? Upwork support please explain this!
I just changed my portfolio, upgrade membership and write some bids.

Hi Igor,

Job Success Score is calculated on 6-12 and 24 months windows. There are many factors that go into your JSS calculation including public and private feedback given when the contract is closed, pattern of contracts without feedback, etc. To learn more details about your Job success score and why it has changed check out this Help Article. Thank you.

If you haven't worked on Upwork for 14 months, you no longer have enough outcomes in your 6 months and 12-month windows to calculate a JSS, so everything in the 2-year window counts. As time went on, positive outcomes kept falling out of your 2-year window, which then left less positive outcomes weighing more and more heavily every time a good outcome fell out.

Poor private feedback. Take a close look at your "Clients who would recommend" percentage on your "My Stats" page.

How can I increase "Clients who would recommend" percentage ??

[Muhammad H]

I also contacted with my clients, and they said they enter full score in this question 
"if you would recommend this freelancer" Scaling from 1 to 10.
So how my recommendation score is too low? Please make me understand this.

Don't do that. It's called "private" feedback for a reason. Contacting clients to ask what private feedback they left is breathtakingly unprofessional. If a freelancer did that to me I would report them.

40% private feedback is indeed very low, so clearly (some of) your clients were leaving very low private feedback ratings.

This is not a question of professionalism, it is a question of the operation of the Upwork system.

If no one can tell me why my rating does not change after positive reviews, I can logically assume that the Upwork system works with errors. Why should I even work here?

Perhaps your logical reasoning skills are flawed.

There is no need for you to use Upwork as a lead generation platform. You are a freelancer, you may use whatever tools you wish to operate your business.
