Random jobs on my profile and Jobs are not updating correctly

[#1]

Hello Team,

I am faicng this issue for past 2 days. I am not seeing relevant jobs. Like i am seeing TickTok , youtube management and couple other catagories jobs in my Most recent feed. It used to be only Technical Support or Microsoft 365 and Migration related jobs. I am not sure what is going on. 

If i refresh 2 or 3 times the search is changing not sure, if development team is working on something or what the issue is.

Thanks

In the last few days,precisely since the start of November,the most recent jobs in my account is filled with irrelevant jobs from multiple fields which are not mentioned in my skills.I don't have Java anywhere in my profile yet I am getting jobs related to Java.My skills include mostly cloud and devops and earlier I used to get jobs related to that only in the most recent section but now I am getting Web Development and Java related jobs also which is not my speciality

Hi,

For the last 3 weeks, since "My Feed" section is created by Upwork, I am getting most of the time, irrelevant jobs in my feed. e.g., my job feed is always full of Data Scraping jobs whereas I haven't mentioned Scraping anywhere in my profile.

Also, the no. of relevant jobs is also very less compared to earlier I was getting in my feed. Please suggest some way. These new experiments by Upwork are costing too much to freelancers.

Hi Amit,

The jobs showing on "My Feed" are based on the filters of your Saved Search. This means that when you search for jobs and save them, our system will remember the criteria you've chosen and will try to suggest the nearest jobs you've saved and searched.

However, if there is none saved, it will be based on your categories. Since categories are broad ( ie: Engineering has many kinds), the system may give you many skills that are not exactly relevant to what you want to see (but in a way related such as programming, you may also see jobs related to designs or animation which are not the same but can be related).

I highly suggest that you start manually searching and saving projects from time to time. However, we would like to set your expectation that the effect will not be immediate as it also takes some time to fetch the results.

But why it is showing Data Scrapping jobs whereas I havn't saved Scraping in my saved search option?

Hi Muhanmmad, Amir, and Dr. Ayuba, 

We looked into this further and can see that you are yet to add a saved search to your job feed. Note that the jobs on "My Feed" are based on the filters of your Saved Search. This means that when you search for jobs and save them, our system will remember the criteria you've chosen and will try to suggest the nearest jobs you've saved and searched. However, if there is none saved, it will be based on your categories.

Since categories are broad (i.e., Engineering has many kinds), the system may give you many skills that are not strictly relevant to what you want to see (but in a way related, such as programming, you may also see jobs related to designs or animation which are not the same but can be related). I suggest you start manually searching and saving projects from time to time to help build your "My Feed." However, we would like to set your expectation that the effect will not be immediate as it also takes some time to fetch the results.

Hi, I'm a software engineer. I search for some keywork related to my work like java, html, css, frontend development, ... But in Most Recent tab shows many jobs that are not related to my work. Can someone help me? Thanks!

[#10]

Hi. I usually get jobs here by using the most recent tab and everything has been fine until today. I didn't touch anything and I just suddenly started seeing tons of irrelvant jobs to my skills. I have done everything I have seen on this forum but none seems to work. Please help me. Thanks

[#11]

I come across the same situation starting from yesterday... when i saw your post, i started to think that Upwork might change the rule of " most recent job " without upfront notice. i need the help as well and really want to go back to what it worked in the past.

Hi

I have a pressing complaint that I want to resolve as fast as possible.

I have made this complaint yesterday to the Upwork support e-mail, but nothing was really done about it. And it is very important.

Although when I click on the "My Feed" tab, it is showing related job postings. However, whenever I click on the "Most Recent" tab, it is not showing related job postings. I am a writer and I need the "Most Recent" tab to be showing jobs related to my skills.

Hello Ayomide. I don't know what iz going on upwork

[#14]

I have raised a support ticket but it appears the issue is not being looked into. For the past 24 hours, I have been really unable to apply for jobs because the "Most Recent" tab is not showing jobs related to my skills. I need this issue to be resolved ASAP.

I really don't like the slow pace at which Upwork responds to concerns.

Hi Victor,

I checked and can confirm that our team is aware of this issue and working on fixing it as soon as possible. We'll share an update here as soon as we know more information.

[#16]

Please kindly let us know if this will be fixed or it's here to stay so everyone can adjust quickly. But honestly, it's a big minus to upwork if it's permanent. Thanks.

Hello Upwork community‚

My feed in most relevant shows old jobs either hired or clients gone away. In the "most recent" section it shows irrelevant job posts. My category is virtual assisstance and ecommerce management I get recommends of the PHP and Power BI jobs.
