How rank works

Earned on real jobs. Explained in plain words.

Every talent and agency gets one score per category, from 0 to 100. Brands and visitors see the position and tier; only you see your own breakdown.

The score

Six things decide your place

Score = the weighted factors below, minus any penalties. Boards are rebuilt every night, and within 15 minutes of a job finishing.

  • 30%

    Finished jobs

    Jobs completed through the app. Grows quickly at first; 50 jobs gives full marks.

  • 30%

    Rating

    Average stars, starting from a neutral 4.0 so a single review can’t swing it. Verified brands count fully; unverified brands count half.

  • 15%

    On time

    Share of jobs marked done by the agreed end or delivery date.

  • 10%

    Repeat brands

    Share of brands who hired you twice or more.

  • 10%

    Response

    Requests answered before they expire, and how fast. Under an hour is full marks.

  • 5%

    Recent work

    Share of jobs finished in the last 90 days.

Tiers

New, Bronze, Silver, Gold

Tiers are overall, not per category. Moving up is instant; a drop applies only if it holds for 14 days.

Tier rules
TierWhat it takes
GoldGold25+ finished jobs and 4.6★ or more, and no lost dispute in the last 90 days
SilverSilver10+ finished jobs and 4.3★ or more
BronzeBronze3+ finished jobs and 4.0★ or more
NewNewFewer than 3 finished jobs

A profile with 3 or more jobs but a rating under the Bronze line shows no tier badge.

Penalties

What lowers rank, and for how long

Penalties count in full for 30 days, then fade to nothing by day 90. You can contest a penalty once, within 7 days, through a dispute; it is removed if overturned. Late cancels by brands don’t change anyone’s rank, but they show on the brand’s profile.

  • Late cancellation (under 24h before the start)−5
  • No-show−15
  • Lost dispute−10
  • Upheld report, e.g. copied portfolio−10

Fair exposure

New profiles always get seen

Search is not the ranking board. To give new talent a fair start, every page of 20 search results keeps three places for New profiles.

Featured · positions 1 and 6
At most 2 per page, never side by side, always labelled “Featured”, and they must match every filter.
New · positions 4, 9 and 14
Matching New profiles, the least shown today first. If there aren’t enough, the places fill normally.
Everything else · best match
Sorting by price, rating or newest turns the New places off; searching a @username turns both off.

Ranking boards never show featured results or reserved places. Position on a board is earned only.

Questions

Rank FAQ

When do I get ranked?

After 3 finished in-app jobs in a category, with a published profile. Before that, you show as New and get reserved search places.

Do agency jobs count for me?

Yes. The agency gets the job on the agency board, and every assigned member also gets it counted on their own score, with the review credited “via” the agency.

What happens during a dispute?

The job’s effect on rank is paused until the platform team decides.

Can I see my own breakdown?

Yes, on your Rank page: each factor, any penalties, and what would move you up.

Can I pay to rank higher?

No. Featuring buys a labelled place in search only. It never touches rank or boards.
