If you've been using Upwork’s RSS feeds to keep up with new job postings, there's been a significant change that might have thrown a wrench in your workflow. Starting August 20, Upwork has officially discontinued support for RSS feeds.
Before you start worrying about missing job alerts, let’s explore what this means and how you can keep your freelance game strong!
What’s Going On?
Here’s what Upwork had to say:
"We wanted to inform you that, beginning August 20, Upwork will no longer support RSS feeds. Because you’ve recently accessed an RSS feed, we want to give you ample notice to adjust your workflows accordingly.
To continue receiving real-time updates on jobs that match your interests, we recommend saving searches to your job feed. We appreciate your understanding, and will invest in additional new talent products and features with a singular goal: making it easier for you to find great work."
In short, if you’ve been using RSS feeds to catch the latest job postings, it's time to pivot your strategy.
