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 Frank,

 

If you qualify to become Rising Talent, we’ll email you to let you know the badge has been added to your profile. You won’t need to take any action.

I'm having trouble understanding. I had that badge. It appeared on my profile. How can a badge I received be lost?

Congratulations to all community members on being part of the incredible Upwork platform. I recently received a rising talent badge and 30 connects, which has opened up new opportunities. Keep engaging in the discussion, learning new skills, and earning more badges. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. Collaborating with other freelancers can help you improve your skills. With dedication and perseverance, you can achieve great things.

I have completed "Readiness test" and got the free connects, but didn't get the rising talent badge, why does this happen?

Hi Mohammed,

 

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 for receiving the Rising Talent badge. Once you qualify, you should receive a notification letting you know.

 

Thank you.

Hi Abdelrahman, 

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 why a freelancer is or isn't eligible for receiving the Rising Talent badge. Once a talent qualifies, you should receive an invitation to the program.

I checked, and I can see that you already have a Job Success Score. Freelancers can't have a Rising Talent badge and a Job Success Score. While you can no longer be part of the Rising Talent program, you can now work your way towards the Top Rated program. Good luck!

Hi M. Adeel,

 

It looks like you already have a Job Success Score! The Rising Talent badge is only available for freelancers who don't have a JSS yet. Once you earn a Job Success Score, you can start working toward Top Rated status.

You don't meet all the criteria. It is automatic. If you were eligible, you'd have it. If you don't have it, that means that you are not eligible right now.

 

Chances are the client who knocked a star off for quality also left less than totally thrilled private feedback.

Thanks for the feedback Petra. 

 

Please advise if that completely throws me off to get the rising talent badge? or do i still have an opportunity to get it, if i get more clients? 

 

Or should i now focus on getting my JSS?

Yes.

 

You'll get a JSS after the next 1 to 3 jobs anyway.
