Rising Talent Badge

Hi Community, 

How do I know if I am eligible for Rising Talent Badge? Someone suggested that I should get this quickly. But I am unware of how to get it and what are the eligibility criteria.

Hi Prajakta,
 
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.

When checking my profile, I see that I have met the requirements for the Rising Talent badge, however, it does not show on my profile's public view.

 

The same thing is happening with the 100% Job Success.

Hi Baset,

 

Congratulations on getting a 100% Job Success Score on your Upwork profile. I would like to clarify that the Rising Talent badge is available exclusively by invitation only. 
 
This implies that meeting the qualifications for earning a badge does not automatically add it to your profile. Various factors, including your profile and work category, are considered based on the criteria. If you're selected for a badge, it will be added to your profile without any action required from you.

Hi, I had a Rising Talent badge for a long time, but it disappeared suddenly in one day. Can you help me understand why this happened?

Luiggi's avatar
Luiggi R Moderator

Hello Akbar,

 

As further explained in this help article, one of the reasons is that if you’re working toward a Top Rated badge, you may notice your Rising Talent badge is removed, despite keeping a high Job Success Score (JSS). Don’t worry, as long as your JSS remains high, you’re on track to earning a Top Rated badge.

Hi Luiggi

I want to know that I got a jss score of 100 points but I have never had a talent badge. Can't I have both at the same time?

Hi new friends,

 

I've submitted 2 proposals and I've had 0 jobs through Upwork so far. But I just saw that I've been given the Rising Talent badge. Again, zero jobs yet. Thanks and everything but... how did I get this badge?

The Rising Talent badge is awarded based on your profile, skills, and proposal quality, not just on the number of jobs completed. Upwork's algorithm recognizes potential and effort, so even with zero jobs, your profile must have impressed them. Keep up the good work!

I have got a rising talent badge today, but I didn't get my 30 free connects of rising talent.

Sometimes, it take about a day to get the Rising Talent bonus connections so don't worry about it and wait for a few days.

Then you could receive 30 additional connects.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to get some guidance on my Upwork profile. While I've been actively working on the platform, I haven't yet received a Job Success Score (JSS) or the Rising Talent badge.

 

Here's a quick rundown of my recent activity:

  • Completed Project: I successfully completed a project in the past 30 days and received a 5-star rating from the client.
  • Ongoing Retainer: I secured a retainer contract with another client, starting within the last 30 days.
  • Client Invitation: Additionally, I received a client invitation within the past month.
  • Project Focus: I specialize in Amazon PPC services, which is a highly competitive niche on Upwork.

 

My Challenge:

Despite this recent activity, including a completed project, ongoing work, a client invitation, and several job applications, I haven't been awarded either the JSS or Rising Talent badge.

 

Impact on Visibility:

As many of you know, having a JSS or Rising Talent badge can significantly increase the chances of getting noticed and hired in competitive niches like Amazon PPC.

 

Request for Help:

I'd appreciate any insights you can offer on why I might not have received the JSS or badge yet. Also, if anyone has tips on improving my profile or approach for landing jobs in the Amazon PPC field on Upwork, I'd be very grateful!

Hi Anfal, 

Your JSS appears once you have two or more contract outcomes within 24 months. If you have recieved 2 reviews and still JSS isn't appearing you have to wait for the fortnight cycle to complete i.e. Job Success Score is calculated once every two weeks on Sunday.

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.

The badge will be added to your profile if you're selected and no action is required from you.

 

Regarding your Job Success Score (JSS), it's calculated on 6-, 12-, and 24- months windows, and it is updated every second week on Sunday. Your JSS appears once you have two or more contract outcomes within 24 months and outcomes with two or more clients during your time on Upwork. You can check out this article for more information about that.

Hello, everybody. I hope you are doing well.

 

I created my account few months ago and made it 100% completed.

But I haven't got Rising Talent profile badge yet.

How can I get the badge ?

 

Thank you.
