Best Matched Algorithm for "Recently posted" Jobs

[76ba640f]

Hi, If we apply to jobs in the Recently posted section, will they be showcased as Best Matched to the client? Just trying to get a better understanding of how it works.

Appreciate your help!

Hi Hussnain,

Thank you for your message. If you are referring to the Best Match recommendation available on job posts for the client's account, there is a combination of factors that lead to these recommendations. The algorithm takes a variety of factors into account while recommending the Best Match freelancers. Most of these factors are aligned with the requirements selected and mentioned by the client while posting a job. If a client posts a job choosing an 'Entry-level freelancer' option and states they are looking for a simple task to be completed then the 'Best Match' will show them freelancers that match these requirements. Feel free to message us if you have further questions.

Hi Amritansh,

The Upwork job search algorithm matches your query to the content of job posts, including category, skills, title, and description. However, a variety of factors impact the types of projects that appear in your Recommended Jobs Feed, and these include:

• Saved Searches
• Category matches
• Job history
• Keywords

We recommend jobs that you may find interesting based on how you have interacted with the platform. Sometimes, a project you may not expect may appear, but you can use the thumbs-down tool to make improvements to your feed. Best of luck!
