SkilDesk freelancer badges help clients understand a freelancer’s performance level, completed work and platform reputation at a glance.
Performance badges are designed to recognize progress on SkilDesk. Automatic badges are recalculated as completed contracts and client feedback build a stronger track record. The highest expert badge remains manually verified by the SkilDesk team.
Each level represents a stronger SkilDesk track record.
For freelancers who have started building a credible track record with completed work, solid client ratings and a well-developed profile.
For freelancers with a more established history of successful projects and consistently strong client feedback.
For highly experienced SkilDesk freelancers with sustained quality and exceptional recent client satisfaction.

Client ratings help determine whether a freelancer meets the rating requirement for a badge level.
When a higher automatic level is reached, the previous automatic level is replaced and the freelancer is notified.
