Hi Goran,

Thanks

The Rising Talent status is assigned automatically when a freelancer meets the requirements listed here. You will be notified once the badge is added to your profile. Thank you!

Hi Joanne,

 

I noticed some freelancers don't work on a project before but they pass the readiness test and completed their profile and awarded with the Rising Talent badge. How come other freelancers don't qualify? I completed my profile 100%, pass the readiness test, completed a project on time, kept my availability status up-to-date, submitted proposals regularly, I've been active in the past 90 days, and adhered to the Terms of Service but still not qualify. Looking forward to your response.

 

Thank you and have a nice day!

Hi Emerson,

 

As Joanne already shared the 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.

 

Please knwo that neither our team here nor our Customer Support team will  be able to provide the information you're requesting since we can't share the users' Rising Talent qualification specifics.

Hi Nikola,
Thanks for your reply. But I already read the article before posting my question here. Does it mean new member who just joined this year, who did not work on a project before, pass the readiness test, and completed their profile but have strong background will receive the badge at the early stage? Thank you and have a nice day!

Will you please help me, how can I get my rising talent badge. I have completed 3 jobs, but still, have not. Also If I am not able then please tell me which thing is required to get a sing talent badge in my profile.

Hi,

I received Rising Talent badge on my profile few days ago. At the same day my profile was suspended because there was another account associated with my other email. I created that account because I wanted to post on community as I was not able to access my account, there was no other way to communicate on the community. I never used that account for any proposal. Now after 4days my account is back but I am not able to see my rising talent badge and my previous connects which was still available. Although I lost all the connects where I applied for proposals and all were pending. Now I have zero conencts, no rising talent badge and I dont see all options on my profile settings. 

 

Can you please help me with this?

Hello, Dear members.

I am new on upwork here, so I havent done any project yet (though I am looking hard for one without any luck), and most of the client's requirement are "Rising Talent", so how can I get one? What do I have to do so that i would get enrolled in this program? Is it necessary that I do atleast one project and get a JSS?

Hello,I created a freelancer account a few weeks ago. I think my profile is 100% completed, I have a solid educational background, related work experience and I passed the readiness test.

 

I sent about 30 proposals for jobs in my area of work.All my proposals were custom-made with a cover letter and accurate answers.I paid for the premium account so I could see other freelancers' bids and I always placed mine below the average rate.

 

Nevertheless, I am still waiting for a first message or interviews. I received 0 answer even though I worked a lot on each of my proposals. I think I fill the requirements for the rising talent program, except that I am still waiting for a first job. However, I've seen profiles of "rising talent" freelancers without any experience.

 

I was thus wondering if it would be possible to be part of the program and if so, what can I do to be eligible?Thank you for your time and consideration

Hello,

 

Thank you for your answer. I already read that articles and I fill all the requirements but didn't receive invitation to be part of the program, probably because I don't have any experiences yet on the website I guess

Hello guys. I've been working on Upwork for several months now and I have Completed 3-4 Projects and everything with great reviews. 

 

When would I be a Rising Talent?

varungs

The Rising Talent eligibility requirements are pretty straightforward: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211063228-Become-a-Rising-Talent
If you don't meet even one of those criteria, you won't get it. If you meet all of them (which you may not because of private feedback and you'll never even know), then it can take up to 48 hours for you to get the badge.

It's also worth mentioning that the Rising Talent badge really doesn't mean that much. It'll soon be replaced by a JSS anyway. The Top Rated badge is what really matters.

I Think I meet those all criteria.

It feels like that rising talent badge means the difference between getting hired or not. 

How else do recruiters take a chance on someone with zero past jobs or earnings?

And most of the jobs are looking for people that have earned a certain amount or are rising talent.

 

How exactly should a new freelancer get jobs if they dont have rising talent badge...

Hi Chane,

 

Submitting proposals doesn't always guarantee that you will get hired or get a chance to be interviewed, but you shouldn't give up on sending proposals to potential clients. You may check our Resource Corner and find some excellent topics there:

 

Submitting a Winning Proposal on Upwork

When you apply for jobs, make sure your proposal is well written and that you're absolutely qualified and certain of your ability to complete the job you're applying for.
 
Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I've met all the requirements for a rising talent badge and its been more than 48 hours and I still havent received the email or the badge.\

Please advise...

 

Thanks

Hi Chane,

 

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.

 

Thanks!

Yes, I'm aware of the requirements and  I meet them save the one that says I should have completed jobs...

I have a feeling recruiters are'nt willing to hire someone who hasn't done any work but I can't get work without the rising talent badge so I feel stuck
