Upwork Talent Scout Perks

[davit_ghalumyan]

Hi everyone!
Who has used the Talent Scout perks? especially the 1000 connects per month option ($499 annual price).
Is it worth joining? Will it give me a badge or something so the clients will see that like the "top rated" badge?
I got the email in the community messages from "**Edited for Community Guidelines**".
Here is the message below (I changed links into lines in the message)

Hi Davit,

Thank you for reaching out to us and bringing this to our attention. This message was NOT sent by Upwork team. Please do not access any links in it. I assure you that I shared your report with our team for further review and appropriate actions will be taken as per our internal processes. 

I would like to clarify that these are official Talent Scout perks. 

• No freelancer service fees on Talent Scout contracts. It’s our way of showing our appreciation for your hard-earned talent and all that you’ve contributed to the work marketplace.

• Exclusive access to top paying clients on Upwork. These clients work directly with us to find talent and don’t post their jobs in our marketplace.  

• Exclusive access to long-term, higher-paying jobs. Talent Scout helps you build meaningful relationships with the most trusted clients in the world.
• Specialized recruiters reach out to you, no need to apply to jobs. Spend less time looking for jobs and more time doing the work you love. 

You can find more information in this help article.

That is totally a scam, but it would be awesome if the progam included more connects and a badge 😆

I applied for this, it took about 2.5 seconds for Upwork to automatically reject my application "literally", I've only been a graphic artist for over 30 years with tons of work and success on this platform, but whatever 😒

I applied once and got declined... 30 years of graphic design experience as well. I feel like it was more about the kinds of jobs and clients they had than my experience. I just had my interview today though, so you could apply again. Although I don't know yet if I'm accepted, but at least I got the interview this time.
