Hi - I have taken the UpWork readiness test, received the 30 connects but the Badge still doesn't appear on my profile (nor do I qualify for a client's request of "rising talent"). 

Everywhere I read I'm supposed to receive an email about taking a test, but since I already took the test, I don't understand how to proceed. 

Do I wait for another test on my email? Or do I wait more? (those 48 hours mentioned by support passed long time ago). 

Thank you for your help & have a great one! 🙂

Hi Cosmin,

The Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. This process is working as designed and we can't specify a reason why a freelancer isn't eligible for receiving the Rising Talent badge. Once you qualify, you should receive a notification letting you know.

I had passed upwork readiness test yesterday and also I satisfy other criteria required for the same. Please let me know when this badge will be visible on my profile.

I have started upwork 2 months back. I daily apply to lots of jobs. Recently, I had successfully completed my 3 jobs. My profile is up-to-date and satisfy all rising star talent badge criteria. Still I haven't received badge... Please somebody give me proper solution.

Despite having a Rising Talent badge, the rising talent job criterion is  highlighted in red. 

It says "You do not meet this qualification."

Any help with the issue will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Zakaria,

As you recently got the Rising Talent badge, please allow some time for the system to update so the badge can start showing on your 'My Stats' page and the qualification while submitting proposals to update accordingly. Also, you should receive your Job Success Score after the next update so you can start working towards the Top Rated status! Please note that once you receive your JSS, you will no longer be eligible for the Rising Talent badge.

Thank you.

Many thanks for clarifying.

Hello Upwork community,

This is my first time posting to the forum, and the reason I've reaced out is simply I can't wait!

I received a notification this morning once I logged in sayingg that I've been eligible for Rising Talent program, and need to take the Readiness Test. So I did and passed the test, but nothing happened.

Hours later I received an offical Email this time, saying almost the same thing, plus that I need to "claim my Rising Talent Perks". So I re-took the test( passed obviously), and nothing happened yet, no badge, nor any extra feature/Connects. I didn't find any option to claim the badge after the test(s).

I assume its a matter of time as support team said, but need to know if I've missed something( my profile is 100% complete).

Your comments are highly appreciated!

Congratulations on being part of the Rising Talent Program, Seyed!

You should receive the badge within 24-48-hours. If this doesn't happen automatically, you can come back here, and we'll be happy to assist you.

Hi Seyed Farhad,

Rising Talent status is automatically applied to users whose profiles meet all of the requirements.

You are on your way to get a Job Success Score, one of the requirements to earn and maintain Top Rated status. 

Please, allow time for this process to be completed, as you might receive the JSS by the Monday.

Thank you.

Hi Bojan,
Thanks for your respond.
I received an Email saying that I'll be get my rising talent badge upon passing the readiness test.
Now you are saying me that I WON'T get the badge and PROBABKY will get my JSS instead?!
I want the badge as Upwork has promised, then the JSS whenever it'll be ready. Otherwise what was the point of that Email?
Regards,

Seyed F.

[s_safavian]

Hi Bojan,
The Email has said that I'm eligible for rising talent badge( hasn't nentioned anything about JSS). Now you are telling me that I won't get the badge and PROBABLY will get my JSS which is applied to all freelancer instead?!
Doesn't make scence to me, and I expect my badge, and when that time comes, the JSS.
Don't understand why Upwork has not yet award me the badge.
Regards,

Seyed F.

Bojan,
Please see the attachment and read it carefuly.

Your comment doesn't make sense at all. As you are aware of, only 5% of freelancers will be eligible for this program, and it's mentioned in the Email that "all I need to do is to pass the test". Now you are telling me that I might get a JSS which is applicable to all freelancers, and won't get the benefits of a Rising Talent member( like the Connects)?!

Please be more detailed in your response. Also FYI I promised a client during an interview that I'll be a rising talent member within the next 24 hours as support team had promised me; Upwork made me a liar.

You'll get a Job Success Score tomorrow anyway, so I have no idea why you are having quite such a meltdown, the Rising Talent badge would vanish at that point anyway. So is it worth a bunch of frantic posts to have a silly little badge for 24 hours?

You "promised a client" that you'd be a Rising Talent?

Seriously?

The client would care.... why, exactly? 

[s_safavian]

Hi,

I want the Rising Talent awards/perk, and Upwork is skipping them. Regardless of JSS, I want what I've been promised for. Why I'm not getting my badge, and THEN, tomorow as you said, my JSS?!

Hope That Make Scence!

[Anonymous-User]

What perk? There is no perk. You work harder and get better perks now.

As Petra said, JSS updates again tomorrow. Rising Talent badge is useless.

Time to move on and work toward a consistent 100 percent.

Welcome to the pool!

Those who get the silly badge also get 30 free connects.

He clearly needs the 30 free connects that come with the silly badge desperately enough to spam a public forum.

[s_safavian]

And also YES, I didn't promised, I simply conveyed what I've been told, and I said that I'm a rising talent member, and this is a serious thing to me: I LIED?! if so, I will take it even more serious!

Indeed you did.

Either you promised a client (as if a client would give a **bleep**) or you did not.

No amount of mindless raging and spamming a public forum will change the fact that even if the badge did happen, it would be gone by tomorrow anyway, so all this incredibly unbecoming screaming and ranting and spamming would have been for nothing.

[s_safavian]

And if you believe that "silly little badge" doesn't worth this frustration, then why Upwork doesn't simply award me that "silly little badge"?! I want the badge, I want its perk, and I want what I deserve. Hope that's clear!
