Hi Anoop,

 

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.

 

Thank you.

What does Upwork mean by "Have been active in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days" as a criterion for the Rising Talent badge?

 

Does it mean to come online or log in to Upwork every day, apply for jobs, or message clients? What does it mean to be active?

Hi Walter,

 

Being active means that you have been actively using your Upwork account- (submitting proposals, responding to invites). Once you meet the criteria listed here, you will be notified and the badge will be added to your profile.

Hi Jhaman,

 

I checked but couldn't replicate the issue as the notification wasn't showing. I checked and you did pass the Upwork Readiness Test and if the notification continues to show, please, take a screenshot and send me a private message so that I can check and assist you further.

 

Thank you.

Hello, as a newbie I went through a freelancer search in the platform to get an understanding on the positioning of my profile. 

To my surprise, I found a freelancer tagged as "rising talent" but he has no work and earning history here, let alone reviews.

I checked the relevant page and requirement 2 for rising talent is: "Complete your projects on time and as promised" - and how about having no contracted pieces of work at all in this platform?

I had to digest plenty of information and rules during this time as beginner here, there is a good chance that I missed something important.

I am in the understanding that such achievements would depend on work history, quality and timing of services and reviews. 

If that's wrong, well, I would aspire to the "rising talent" medal as well. How can I qualify then? Thanks for your informed advice. 😉

Hi Deborah,

 

The Rising Talent badge is automatically assigned when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. Once you qualify for the badge, you will receive a notification letting you know and it will also reflect on your profile.

 

As a reminder, we look at a variety of factors when determining whether to award Rising Talent status. This includes client feedback, the overall strength of your profile upon submission, including prior experience and skills and your educational background, as well as the opportunities available in the market. Therefore, even new freelancers who have yet to complete any projects on Upwork can be admitted into the Rising Talent program.

 

Thank you.

Thanks for articulating this. I remain confused regarding the "client feedback" element - how can one get feedback if he/she has no clients and no work history here? 

If no Upwork work record is required, as a newbie, I would feel relieved and would see the "Rising Talent" badge as an opportunity for me too.

Hi Joanne,

 

May I know what is the status of my profile, how can I be part of the rising talent or even be on the top-rated list? I can see other profiles that only have pending applications and they do not even have feedback yet or even active work, they are already part of the rising talent.

Is there a way I can verify whether I meet all the requirements ?
I'm just looking on all pages related to this topic and I see everywhere I
read that I fulfilled all of them.
SO I really don't know what's happening

Hi Victor,

 

You are doing good. Just concentrate on bagging more contracts and finishing them according to the requirements of your client. Good feedback from your client matters more and help you in getting more contracts. Rest of the kudos will follow automatically.

 

Warm Regards

So my profile is ok, I just need more finished jobs to get the Rising Star
?
Because I saw people who had only 1 job done but got the Rising Start
status already so I don't understand how it works
