Rising Talent Badge

Hello,

 

I read the article about the Rising Talent Badge and met all the requirements but still didn't get one. I have had 8 clients and my profile is looking pretty good. Am I doing something wrong or is it a normal thing?

Hi Bogdan,
 
While I won't be able to provide a specific reason why a freelancer isn't eligible the Rising Talent badge, note that Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. It also looks like you're on your way to earning your Job Success score.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for your response but 72 hours passed and still no response from support. My concern is that I was reading somewhere on Twitter that if you post about the rising talent badge on twitter and upwork notices that then your badge will be removed. Same happened to me I got a badge on 5th feb, I did a post on 6th feb Upwork congratulated me under that post and on 7th feb my badge was removed and my My Stats update date was 5th feb and still the badge was removed.
So wanna ask is this true or a myth.
Regards

It's important to keep in mind that the Rising Talent badge is awarded at Upwork's discretion and not everyone who meets the requirements will receive one. Upwork uses a combination of factors to determine which freelancers receive the badge, including but not limited to client feedback, job success score, and overall activity on the platform.

If you've met all the requirements but haven't received the badge, it may be because Upwork has not yet evaluated your profile, or they may have evaluated it and determined that you do not meet all the criteria. It's also possible that there are simply a lot of other freelancers who are currently eligible and Upwork is awarding the badge to them first.

In any case, it's important to focus on delivering high-quality work to your clients and building a strong reputation on the platform. The Rising Talent badge is just one way to stand out, but there are many other ways to showcase your skills and experience on your profile. As you continue to work on the platform, you may be considered for other badges or recognition programs that Upwork offers.

It goes away when you get a JSS.

 

BTW, set your profile to public. You can't receive invitations when hide yourself from search.

Hello there! I'm not sure if I have perhaps missed this post and I want to clarify something please? When you say you need to have availibility on in order to get the Rising Talent badge, does that mean you HAVE to set it on, or can you simply be online all the time? 

Thank you
