Yes there are Upwork specialists. Clients pay money for this service. They may be too busy to search the database and want guidance.

Those guys are still operating? I've not had a job recommendation from one for a long time.
Not that I'm complaining, I don't think I've ever had a suitable recommendation from them. Maybe that's why I don't get them anymore?

Well, if you have never had a suitable recommendation from them, that sounds like a typical talent specialist, I'm afraid they're not that good. It's hard to know whether they are still operating or not, I do get a message from them once in a while.

Dear Robin,
Before I received tons of such invitations from Upwork specialist.
No one worked. Even no one of clients answered.
As to me, replying to this is just a timewasting.

Hi Valery,
I've received a few over the past year that I've been an Upwork freelancer. None have panned out. However, I don't believe you need connects to apply so similar to invitations, it might be worth a shot. If one out of ten works out, winner!
Best,
Robin

Hello Robin,
I received the Invite from the Upwork Talent specialist. This job is a good fit for me. But the main problem is the position is closed. So my concern is if it's from an Upwork Talent specialist, then why this job is closed. And it's creat an impact on my profile.
Thnaks,
Asad Ale

The job was either already filled then removed before you had a chance to apply to it, or it was removed because it was a scam. Talent Specialists do occasionally send invites to jobs that are scams.
