I was re-hired by a client and got a rising talent badge next week just after that job ended. But now when I apply to certain jobs it shows a red highlight on rising talent condition(not eligible). What the issue? Help me to solve this issue.

Hi Ahmed,

 

Since you have received your Job Success Score, you can start working toward receiving the Top Rated badge. The Rising Talent program is designed for freelancers who don’t have their Job Success Score yet.

 

Thank you!

Hello Upwork Community,
I hope my Profile is meeting the Rising Talent Badge,so how will I be getting this Badge if all requirements are met?
Is anything Incomplete?

Because :

1)I have Completed 30 days on Upwork.
2)My Profile is 100% Completed.
3)I follow all the rules and regulations from Upwork.
4)I have Completed the Upwork Readiness Test Successfully.
5)Also Completed 2 Succesful projects on time.
6)I regularly apply to the jobs related to my skills.

So why am I not getting the badge?Can anyone review my profile and let me know.

Thank you,

I'm pretty sure  your profile picture needs to be a photo of you and not an illistration to comply with the rules.

Hi Hritik,

 

Just as you mentioned, 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.

 

In addition to this and as a reminder, 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,

Hi, I just recently started on Upwork and I already got my first job. Problem is, my national ID won't be available for another few months. Aside from being unable to submit proposals, the money I earn from my active contracts won't be deducted (aside from fees) even after a few months, right? I just want to know since the work I'm doing is editing/proofreading novels so it would also take some time to finish.

Hi Zea,

 

Yes, that is correct. The hold prevents you from withdrawing your earnings but doesn't deduct them. Once you successfully pass the verification process, the hold will be removed. You can find more information in this help article.

 

Thank you.

Alright, thanks.

I know I have met the criteria for the rising talent on Upwork may be a long time ago but it still does not appear on my end. Can anyone help me verify if I met this or not? I also got the Top Rated badge so I feel I am eligible for the Rising Talent.

 

I have met these criteria as far as I know

 

  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 skillset
  6. Adhere to the Upwork Terms of Service
  7. Have been active in the past 90 days or joined in the past 30 days

Hi Rav,

 

The Rising Talent badge isn't showing on your profile because you have already earned the Top Rated badge. Congratulations! Now you can work your way towards the Top Rated Plus badge.

Hello Upwork Community, I have more than 6K$ + earning on Upwork. My job success score is 100% and my profile is also 100%. I have also passed the Upwork Readiness test. None of my reviews are negative so why I didn't receive the Rising Talent Badge till now. Please tell me what I have done wrong or what should I need to do to get the badge. 

 

I will be thankful to you.

 

Thanks and Regards

Hi Hasnain,

 

As you already have earned your Job Success Score, you are no longer eligible for the Rising Talent badge. However, you can start working towards Top Rated status!

 

Thank you.

Thanks, Aleksandar, I will work on getting Top-Rated status now.

Hey, I have passed the Upwork Readiness Test and still my rising talent badge is not appearing on the profile. I have read the terms as well and I think I am doing everything right here to qualify for the badge but still nothing. Can anyone from Upwork look into my profile and please guide me.

No. Once you have a JSS, you can't ever get a RT badge.

The next badge you can aim for would be top rated for which you need to get your JSS above 90% and meet all the following: 

 

  • A current Job Success Score of 90% or higher
  • First hire on Upwork was more than 90 days ago
  • Maintained Rising Talent status or a Job Success Score of at least 90% for at least 13 of the last 16 weeks
  • A 100% complete profile  (90% for those who brought their profiles over from Elance)
  • 12-month earnings of at least $1,000
  • Up-to-date availability (if unavailable now, set a date estimate)
  • An account in good standing with no recent account holds
  • Activity on the platform (proposal, accepted invitation, or earnings) in the past 90 days

Why did my rising talent badge disappear? I have and still maintain the criteria???

You should qualify for a Job Success Score with so many contracts. Wait until tomorrow to see if one appears.


Rising Talent status is only for freelancers who are relatively new and don't have a Job Success Score yet.
