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.

How does one increase his ranking to a rising star or higher?

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049702614-Upwork-s-Talent-Badges

To become a Rising Talent, you must have great potential based on a strong background in your field(s) and early success with your Upwork clients. Agencies can also earn a Rising Talent badge, showing that they either have strong backgrounds in their industries or were started by Top Rated freelancers.

This badge is one of the ways that we help freelancers and agencies who are new to our platform establish themselves on Upwork.

 

To qualify for the Rising Talent Badge, you must:

  • Have a 100% complete profile with signs of great experience prior to joining Upwork
  • Have positive performance on Upwork, including submitting high-quality proposals and being selected for jobs
  • Follow the Upwork Terms of Service

 

Granted, the application of this badge seems a bit arbitrary as people have been complaining about not getting it even with completed jobs under their belt.

I've done 4 projects on Upwork till now successfully with 5 star public feedback. My earnings from those badges were 500$. I think it's enough for Rising talent badge, but I never got that. 

What can be the issue? 

Can negative private feedback from clients affect my rising talent badge? 

Since then, I've been working with some small direct clients and didn't got the chance to work on Upwork again. I want to give it a shot once more. 

But kindly somebody clarify my above questions. 

Thanks. 

You have enough job history so you will get a JSS on your profile.

I can't find my Rising Talent Badge again. Why? 
please help 

I think it gets removed once you get a review with less than 5. And then you won't have anything until you have enough data for a job success score.

Thank you . But how many jobs do I need to have completed to have a JSS score?

They don't give details about JSS, because people can work the system and artificially boost their scores. I got mine I think after 2 reviews but I also had a long term hourly client as well. So it varies. I don't focus on it too much, I got jobs without a score and with a score below 90.

I hope you are all doing well. I'm reaching out to you because it has been a month now since I met the requirements to receive the "Rising Talent" badge, yet I haven't received it. I was wondering if there is a specific reason for this delay and if you have any solutions to offer. I'm eager to have this recognition, and I thank you in advance for your assistance.

I have been working on Upwork for quite a long time with a 100% complete profile. My overall earnings are over $8,000 and I fulfill all the requirements for the Rising Talent Badge, as stated in the Upwork Help Centre. However, I still don't have the badge on my profile.
