Hello,

Upwork Team,

I'm Krunal Jariwala! This is my Upwork Profile Link: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/krunaljariwala2 My main intent to create this post is that my Upwork profile hasn't got an "ID Verification Badge" and "Rising Talent Badge" for so long, even after I have matched all the relevant criteria that are required for. 

I just want to know what is the reason behind it. Could anyone in your team assist me with the same? It would be highly appreciated. 

Thanks
Best Reagrds,

Hi Akshay,

You can find the answer to your question in this article.

Hello Akshay...

The first badge is called 'rising talent.' A rising talent badge highlights some of the best new members in the Upwork marketplace. This is free for freelancers who have great potential based on a strong background in their field and early success with Upwork clients. Rising talent agencies and freelancers have strong backgrounds in their Industries. To become a rising talent, you need to have a 100% completed profile with signs of great experience. Upwork's positive performance includes: Submitting high-quality proposals for jobs. As well as complying with the terms of service.

 

This is an awesome badge that Upwork introduced for anyone that's on the way to becoming top rated. You can get this rising talent badge before you have a lot of reviews on the platform which can help get the momentum going for you. It's also for those who don't have a job success score built yet. This badge is going to help you stand out from the competition as a freelancer to possibly get hired. When you get that rising talent badge that doesn't mean you can't get all the other badges, but it's a great start. If you look in the section called 'benefits for talent' the badge will show on your profile. You also get reduced fees on featured jobs. You also get a one-time bonus of 30 free connects so so you can submit more proposals. Lastly, you get access to chat and ticket support from a specialized customer support team when you are recognized as 'rising talent'. This is important because it's always helpful to have a direct line to Upwork for help if you ever need it.

Hi ther,

I just realized that I lost my rising talent badge, which is really embarrassing. Could you please check the reason for this? I don't even know why it happened. Your kind gesture will really mean a lot to me.

Hi Mian,

 

There are a few reasons you may lose your Rising Talent badge:

 

  • You earn a Job Success Score (JSS). Once you earn a JSS, you graduate from the Rising Talent badge and can begin working towards earning a Top Rated badge.
  • You receive poor public or private feedback from a client. We can’t tell you more about the feedback, like who may have left poor private feedback. Learn more about approaching clients about feedback.
  • There is a hold on your account

I checked your account and it looks like you've earned a JSS already. Once you have enough work history on Upwork, we will automatically replace your Rising Talent status with a Job Success Score (JSS). Once you earn a Job Success Score, you can start working toward Top Rated status.

Hi Everyone,

I have a very similar issue. My Rising Talent Status on Upwork was paused because of no activity.

I have returned to Upwork more than a month ago and have been writing proposals regularly since then but my Rising Talent bandge doesn't come back. Am I missing something?

Many thanks,
Audrius

Hello Audrius, 

I hope you are doing well. When I read your post, I really feel for myself. I mean a month ago, I received the Rising Talent badge out of a sudden for about 1 week and then it has gone without my notice. After that, during the last 3 weeks, I applied for about 100 posts and none of my proposals got noticed or replied. It really demotivated me, as you have been through this time, would you have any advice for me?

Thanks again Audrius and looking forward to hearing from you. 

Kieu.

Yes I do understand that I got it already before on my profile and it disappeared I don't know why? 

Menna Essam

Hi Menna,

 

As mentioned in the requirements listed here, you need to be active on Upwork in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days. You also need to qualify other requirements to get the Rising Talent badge again on your Upwork profile.

 

Thank you,

Pradeep

I've met all the requirements, still don't have one. Whereas there are freelancers with less on their profile and zero jobs that have received one. Any idea why?

Hi Nivenka,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Remember, many factors contribute to a Rising Talent badge. This includes client feedback, the overall strength of your profile, prior experience and skills, your educational background, and the opportunities that are available in the market. Even professionals who have yet to complete any Upwork projects can become Rising Talent if they have skills that are in demand.

 

Additionally, please know that neither our team here nor our Customer Support team will be able to provide the information you're requesting since we can't share the users' Rising Talent qualification specifics.

What is the criteria to achieve the rising start badge? is there any earning benchmark or something else that we need to fulfill to get this badge. 

 

I am on Upwork from a long time now, and have $300+ earnings but still I do not have this badge. Can someone help, please? 

I'm curious, too. I've only been working for about a month, but I have three five star reviews and $300+

Hello Upwork Community,

 

My JSS is 89% and I still didn't receive my rising talent badge. I got it before I received my JSS but it disappeared after getting the JSS - is something wrong?

Hi Tahmeeda,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I would like to clarify that the Rising Talent program is designed for freelancers who don't have their Job Success Score yet. Once they receive their JSS, the freelancer can start working toward receiving the Top Rated badge.

I am following all the rules and regulations of Upwork and I am fulfilling all the criteria to get a rising talent badge. 

I have seen a lot of profiles that have not completed a single job or are not working for a single job but they have rising talent badges. I am working for a client and meeting all the deadlines and I have completed all criteria for the rising talent badge. Yet I am not getting it. 
What's the issue, Man? 

Why Upwork is doing this? Upwork system is not working properly??

 

What's the issue? Please tell me. I want answer

Looking at your profile, you have one job which is in progress and no completed jobs so far.

 

The criteria to get the rising talent badge are:

 

  • Complete projects on time and as promised to clients (not yet achieved, your one job is in progress not in completed state)
  • Maintain a 100% complete profile with accurate skills and genuine work
  • Keep your availability status up-to-date
  • Regularly submit proposals to projects that match your skill set
  • Adhere to the Upwork Terms of Service
  • Have been active in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days

I am so frustrated now because my badge was suddenly lost for account suspension. I am waited one month still now I can't find the badge after reporting customer care. They review every two weeks later but it will not come back. I am very disappointed because every week I buy more Connect and submit a proposal but I feel very unresponsive and can't wait for a new job. My daughter depends on me and I am surviving, I feel without a badge I can't get a proper response. 

 

I don't what should I do.  🤔

Hi Zobayda,

 

I understand you would like to know if you can get your rising talent back after your account was suspended. I believe you are aware of why your account was suspended as you have already communicated with our support team. Note that account resumption does not automatically restore your Rising Talent badge as well.
 
There are a few reasons you may lose your Rising Talent badge:

  • You earn a Job Success Score (JSS). Once you earn a JSS, you graduate from the Rising Talent badge and can begin working towards earning a Top Rated badge.
  • You receive poor public or private feedback from a client. We can’t tell you more about the feedback, like who may have left poor private feedback. Learn more about approaching clients about feedback.
  • There is a hold on your account

 
However, by design, the Rising Talent badge relies on meeting qualifications we encourage you to keep doing what you do best. Once you meet the criteria again, you can receive the badge or even qualify for a Job Success Score.
 
The following are criteria that must be met:

 
Remember, many factors contribute to a Rising Talent badge. This includes client feedback, the overall strength of your profile, prior experience and skills, your educational background, and the opportunities that are available in the market. Even professionals who have yet to complete any Upwork projects can become Rising Talent if they have skills that are in demand.
 
Please note that it may take up to 48 hours to see the Rising Talent badge on your profile after meeting the qualifications.

Hi Upwork Community members,

Hope you are doing well all!

 

I am a professional interior/graphic designer with 4+ years experience in this field and recently started upgrading Upwork profile as a freelancer. For me it seems very difficult to get the first job (even if it is very easy). Also I earned the rising talent badge. 

If anyone can have a look on my profile, I am open and would appreciate any advice from anyone here 🙂

 

Wish you all the best in your freelance journey.
