I am Top Rated Freelancer but when I am going to apply for a project I can see that I am not under rising talent.
Not sure why?

Hello everybody,
I'd like to provide an update about this issue. Our engineers have released a fix for this issue. Top Rated and Rising Talent freelancers shouldn't be seeing notifications that they don't meet Rising Talent preferences on jobs posted going forward. Please, let us know if you're Top Rated or Rising Talent freelancer but still see those notifications on some of the older jobs.
We've also forwarded general feedback that was shared on this thread about the preference settings with the team. We'll be looking into making it clearer on the site how these settings work.
Update: We'll be closing this thread from further replies.

Dear Patra
Have a good day,
I got my Top rated badge but still have a problem with rising talent and I don't know what else should I do to get it.
Would you please tell me what should I do to get it?
Thank you in advance,
Darwish

I have a rising talent badge but when I apply for a job it shows red highlight in criteria. Screen short attached. Why is it so. I m I not eligible for jobs required rising talent?

When I bring up your profile there is no Rising Talent badge.
Either way, you are welcome to apply even if you don't meet all preferences.
Important hint: You need to remove the contact info from your profile if you don't want to get into serious trouble with Upwork .
Hint 2: You want to remove that horrible 1940s Third Reich looking font. You are trying to sell yourself as a creative. That really isn't selling you as someone who cares about aesthetics.

I don't know how long it's been like this, but recently I've noticed many jobs that have "Rising Talent: Yes" under "Preferred Qualifications". Since I'm Top Rated and not Rising Talent, this requirement is marked with a red blob for me, and I suspect this means that clients are being told that I don't meet all their requirements. Perhaps it also means that my proposals are appearing lower down in the "relevance" order than someone who has Rising Talent.
I guess there may be some clients who prefer a Rising Talent to a freelancer with more Upwork experience, perhaps because they think such a freelancer will be cheaper, or because they want to give a new Upworker a chance. But I doubt that this is true in most of these cases. They've probably just checked that preference box because they don't know what it means, but it sounds good. Or perhaps this is the default setting.
When I started on Upwork (4 years ago), there was an option called "Include Rising Talent". I believe this was a supplement to the "X% JSS" requirement, so the combination of the two options meant "I prefer a freelancer with at least X% JSS OR Rising Talent". That made sense. The current system doesn't seem to make as much sense. Or am I missing something?

I think it is a bug Upwork is working on. There are many similar threads here.

Hello community members, It has been over 60 days since I started my old Upwork profile. I have earned over $2.5K in the last 60 days. I have positive reviews on my profile, but I'm still not getting a rising talent badge.
I don't care about the badge because I have 100% JSS, but whenever I opened any job to submit a proposal, they require that they needed a freelancer with a rising talent badge. What should I do?
My Upwork profile Link:
Jul 8, 2021 07:03:35 PM by Joanne P
Hi Hamza,
You may still apply to these jobs. Clients can set their preferences when they post a job, but these are not required.
Jul 8, 2021 08:21:37 PM by Hamza H
Yeah, I know I can apply to these jobs, but before the opening proposal, they will see that my profile does not meet the criteria, so do you think they will open my proposal?
I want to know I meet all the requirements for even Top Rate, but still, I did not even get a rising talent badge.
Jul 8, 2021 09:50:47 PM by Joanne P
Hi Hamza,
Clients do check the freelancer's profile if they see that you are fit for the position they are looking to fill even if you haven't earned a badge yet. You might want to check out the following to help you write proposals:

Hello!
Thanks for your time.
I've recently joined Upwork in may of 2021. I'm pretty serious about Upwork and I want to do everything in my power to make this journey more successful.
I have a 100% completed profile. And 5 Jobs with 3 Five star reviews. But I haven't received my rising talent badge yet!
But I have a JSS score. (I received them two days ago) I'm really grateful for that. But I thought my rising talent badge was converted into JSS directly cause I have clients.
Sadly, I understood It's not the case. I just came to know that Upwork will invite me to the rising talent program. I haven't received any mail regarding this!
I would have just left it, But the problem is I still have the red mark in the preferred qualification section.
That's what bothers me. (See the image attached)
I have applied to jobs previously with this red mark, But in vain. (Understand that there would be many reasons besides that red mark). As I said before I would want to do everything in my power to get noticed by the clients.
And recently I got to know the client-side of things, They have this thing called "BEST-MATCH"
(see the image). If I don't meet their rising talent preferred qualification, I won't be labelled by Upwork as "BEST-MATCH", Right?
These are my questions?
Is there any way for me to get the rising talent badge?
Does that red mark affect me in any way?
I sincerely thank you for your time, If you are someone from Upwork, Kindly help me get a riding talent badge.
Thanks again!

Yes, I agree but I just want to know about other experienced freelancers take on this matter.
I wanted to know if I'm overreacting. If I should just let go of this issue and concentrate on other things.
I'm really sorry if this is redundant.

I don't think that you're overreacting - it's pretty unfair.

I'm beginning to get annoyed with the Rising Talent preferred qualifications. I have a 100% success score, yet when I see a job I want to apply for, it almost inevitably has Rising Talent as its preferred qualification. This means I am losing countless opportunities to apply for jobs I'm interested in. I am becoming very frustrated!
Thanks to anyone who can give me clarification.

Hi Fellow Freelancers,
I have a JSS of 100% but when applying for the jobs requiring a rising talent badge, it says I'm not qualified. As far as I know, If I have a JSS, I should be qualified for rising talent right ?
Due to this, I missed out some potentially important jobs.
Thanks.

It's a bug and they're trying to fix it.
There is absolutely nothing stopping you from applying though.
