Learn what the Upwork job digest email is, who receives it, how jobs are selected, why you might not get it, and how to customize or stop these emails.
What is the job digest email?
The job digest email is a personalized roundup of new job opportunities that match your skills, interests, or recent activity on Upwork. It’s designed to help you discover projects faster — without having to search every time you log in.
Who receives the job digest email?
It's a benefit for Rising Talent, Top Rated, and Top Rated Plus talent. Learn more about talent badges.
How does Upwork decide which projects to send me?
Jobs in your personal job digest fit one or more of the categories below:
- The title, category, and required skills match past jobs you have searched for or submitted proposals to in the last three months
- The subcategories and descriptions are similar to jobs you have searched for or submitted proposals to in the last three months
- The job type (fixed-price/hourly) matches jobs you have searched or submitted proposals for in the last three months
- The job keywords contain keywords you searched or submitted proposals for in the last three months
Good to know: The jobs that appear in your digest are public jobs with no hires at the time that they are sent, and have fewer than 10 recommended freelancers who have submitted proposals. Most are newly posted but we may send older jobs if the client has been actively reviewing proposals in the past few days.
Why haven’t I received the job digest?
You may not receive one every day or even every week. We suggest checking to make sure you are set up to get the email. To do so:

- Make sure the box is checked
Can I customize or stop these emails?
