Hi Marc,

 

The Rising Talent badge is available by invitation only. This means that even if you meet the qualifications for earning one, it will not be automatically added to your profile. Some factors are considered based on the criteria, your profile, and other factors, including your work category. The badge will be added to your profile if you're selected and no action is required from you.

Hi Chadli,

 

The Rising Talent badge is automatically assigned when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. Once you qualify for the badge, you will receive a notification letting you know, and it will also reflect on your profile.
 
Thank you,

Hi Pradeep,

 

My Rising Talent Badge disappeared. I recently got a good rating and positive feedback from a completed project a week ago. Would you be able to check? Thanks. https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ff2b83460353fa6b?viewMode=1

Hi Shanine,

 

I've checked your account and see that you have been assigned as an Exclusive agency member of an Agency. As an Exclusive agency member, your profile and proposals are branded with the agency. I see that you have also initiated a support ticket for the same concern and one of our team members has already responded to you. You can access your support tickets here. Please don't hesitate to follow up with them on the same support ticket if you have additional questions regarding your concern. Note that support requests are responded to in the order they are received. Kindly allow 24-48 hours for the team to follow up with you and assist you further.

Thank you,
Pradeep

Hello Pradeep, my profile meets all the requirements but still no badge yet? Can you tell me if I am doing something wrong

Hi Syed,

 

The Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. This process is working as designed, and we can't specify a reason why a freelancer isn't eligible to receive the Rising Talent badge. Once you qualify, you should receive a notification letting you know.

hello sir, I'm relatively new to Upwork and recently completed my first order, receiving a glowing 5-star review. Additionally, I've meticulously filled out my profile to 100% completion. Despite these achievements, I haven't been granted Rising Talent status. Could you kindly advise me on why this might be the case?

Hi PradeepH, How are you doing today? I just want to say that the Rising Talent badge was removed from my account a week ago. I want it back. Kindly tell me the whole thing or resolve it.


Thanks.

Hi! I read that in order to get the Rising Talent badge you need to pass a test, but where can I take this test? Thank you

The test that your source refers to was decommissioned last year.

If you don't already have the Rising Talent badge, then you will not get it. Seems to be conferred at account creation (see Alas! Raising Talent badge.). Don't worry about it and just focus on working. With a few contracts completed (or a few active contracts at least 3 months old), you will get a JSS, which replaces the Rising Talent badge.

Hi there Upwork Team,

I'm wondering when I will get the rising talent badge or JSS. I met all the criteria,  5 star reviews on all my projects, currently at project 8, my profile is fully complete, still no badge... 

 

Can anyone check my profile or let me know what is going on?

 

Best regards,

Marc

Dear Annie Jane B,
I am appalled by the lack of transparency in your last answer on the topic of 'Rising Talent Badge.'
This is not clear or very honest,

The article that you link to does not explain the Rising Talent Badge any better than you have done here.

Hi Arjay. I've noticed you and Annie have pre-written responses for this problem everytime someone opens a new forum. Is it possible the reason people keep inquiring about the Rising Talent badge is because there's a flaw with the system? Can you help us understand what we're not seeing?
