So as I understand it, Rising Talent is a stepping stone to having a JSS, which then works towards Top Rated? So me going from having a RT badge to a JSS is a good thing?

 

Just making sure I understand correctly Cat Happy

Having a high JSS score as you do is definitely a great thing, Samuel. Congratulations on it!

 

Top Rated and Rising Talent are two separate Freelancer Programs. Maintaining Rising Talent status or a Job Success Score of at least 90% for at least 13 of the last 16 weeks is one of the requirements for receiving the Top Rated badge. 

 

Once you meet all of the requirements for becoming Top Rated, it will be awarded on your profile in up to 48 hours.

 

Happy working!

Hi Muhammad,

 

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. To get the Top Rated badge, you’ll need to fulfill all of the requirements mentioned in this help article

 

Thank you!

Hello.

 

I completly forgot about the Upwork readiness test and I was wondering why I am not getting the Rising Talent Badge.

 

I have all the other criteria for Rising Talent checked. I just took and passed the test a few mintues ago. Does that mean that the rest of the requirments will be counted only going forward?

 

Thanks,

 

Andrei

Hi Andrei,

 

Congratulations on completing the Upwork Readiness testRising Talent program is designed for freelancers who don’t have their Job Success Score yet. Since you have received your Job Success Score you won’t be able to receive the Rising Talent Badge. You can start working toward receiving the Top Rated badge.

 

Happy working!

Hello Bojan.

 

Thank you for you answer.

 

So going forward I should just be going through the 13 out of 16 weeks with a job success score greater than 90% to get the badge? 

I have everything else checked.

 

Thanks 

Hi Andrei,

 

Thank you for following up. Yes. you are correct. I would like to clarify that if you meet all qualifications including maintained Rising Talent status or a Job Success Score of at least 90% for at least 13 of the last 16 weeks you should receive the Top Rated badge

Hi, everyone!

How are you?

I need your help regarding the Rising Talent Badge.

I have seen many new freelancers who have done only one job or none at all, have Rising Talent Badge.

But for me, I have done 3 jobs and met all requirments and still no Rising Talent Badge.

 

How come some people have the badge with no history, while I don't?

 

Can you clarify this issue?

Hello Upwork Community.

 

I hope you all guys are doing well.

My Specialty is Credentialing, Contracting, and Medical Billing.

 

I need some assistance from the Upwork Team, or from seniors.

I have started working on my Upwork account in May 2020, more than 10 months prior, completed 3 jobs and one is still under process, earn more than $1000 but still I have not received the Rising Talent Batch.

I would sincerely appreciate it if someone helps me out where I am lacking. So that I can work on my weakness.

 

Thank you.

Best Regards

Kamran M.

Take Upwork Readiness test ;). It's that easy.
Keep your profile 100 percent complete.

Thank You so very much for your reply.

I have passed the readiness test many times. also, my profile is 100 percent complete.

Hi !
I joined Upwork in Jan 2021. My profile is 100% complete, up to date availability status, submitting proposals regularly yet not being able to get the rising talent badge. I passed the readiness test, got connects too beforehand without the badge being displayed. The only criterion left is "to have at least one contract" to get the badge. Is it so?
Thank you in anticipation
(please find an attached ss, the only thing left is "complete projects on time", on the contrary Upwork gives rising talent badge without projects too, right?)

Hi!

To qualify for a Rising Talent badge, you must:

  1. Pass the Upwork Readiness Test
  2. Complete projects on time and as promised to clients
  3. Maintain a 100% complete profile with accurate skills and genuine work
  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

you can learn more about how to get rising talent on this link: Get rising talent badge

thanks,

This info is available everywhere. My Q is "Is it compulsory to complete
at least one project to get the badge"?

Hi Sadia,

 

No, completing a project is not one of the requirements for the Rising Talent program.

 

Thank you!

Hey, I had 51 connects before the readiness test and other things that I added to get that rising badge. I successfully received the free 30 connects but I can't see the rising talent badge.

Am I a rising talent now?
