Hello!

 

I have all the requirements to have the Rising Talent badge, since one week now, and still it doesn't appear on my profile.

 

Can I know the reason?

 

Regards,

 

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

 

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.

 

As a gentle reminder, please note that your profile must represent you as an individual and that all the information in your profile including your profile photo needs to be accurate, truthful, and verifiable. Please check this help article for more information on how to update your profile photo.

 

Thank you.

A 100% complete profile is only one of the requirements.

 

As Rising Talent, you must
  1. Pass the Upwork Readiness Test
  2. Complete your projects on time and as promised
  3. Maintain a 100% complete profile that accurately showcases your skills
  4. Keep your availability status up-to-date
  5. Regularly submit proposals to projects that match your skill set
  6. Adhere to the Upwork Terms of Service
  7. Have been active in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211063228-Become-a-Rising-Talent

 

Per the support doc, after completing all the requirements it may take up to 48 hours for the badge to appear.

 

If you have not yet completed it, the Upwork Readiness Test is linked under "My Jobs".

I'm new to Upwork Platform.
I've completed profile by100%, but rising talent not reached.

i would doubt that your profile is 100% complete. The automated system may show you 100% complete. but after manual review i can say it is only 70% complete. Write something about you, your experience, your expertise, your past projects etc.

Rising talent is more about manual invitation and less automated. Keep posting proposals. It would take around 4-5 weeks to get rising talent badge (this is my personal experience and not official).

Proper presentation with proper english language is important. Work on your english. It is good in profile but i am sure you will make mistake while submitting proposal. For example, It should be 'did not get rising talent badge' and not 'rising talent not reached'.

Edel,

 

Once anyone has a JSS, they are no longer eligible for the rising talent badge, which is given to starter freelancers who have met all the criteria to get the badge. 

 

ETA: Your profile is set to private, so no one can comment on your profile.

I submitted my first proposal before my profile was 100% complete. Then I made it 100% complete, submitted another proposal and then took the Upwork Readiness Test. How can I be part of the Rising Talent program?

Hi Shaju,

 

Rising Talent status is automatically applied to users whose profiles meet all of the requirements. You can have a look at this article about Becoming Rising Talent to see what the exact requirements are that you must meet to obtain a Rising Talent badge on your profile. Once the requirements are met, you'll be invited into the program automatically and receive the badge within 48 hours.

Dear Bojan, I passed the Readiness test about 2 weeks ago, also have 92% job success, but didn't receive my badge yet, PLease help me.

Hi Marianna,

 

Rising Talent program is designed for freelancers who don't have their Job Success Score yet. Once they receive their JSS, the freelancer can start working toward receiving the Top Rated badge.

 

Since you have received your Job Success Score you won't be able to receive the Rising Talent Badge. 

 

Thank you!
