How about posting the total jobs completed?
Having been on the site for a number of years now, I found it somewhat disconcerting when the stat page changed to just showing the jobs completed for what I believe is the past 12 months.
Would it be possible to also publish the number of jobs complete since starting? I believe that this would help lend some credibility to those of us who have been successfully on the platform longer.
Wouldn't clients like to know that a voice actor is reliable and productive?

Hi Mark!
Thanks for letting us know about this. The stats page only shows the last 365 days to allow you to improve over time, however, I do agree the number of projects you've done is a great way of showing you're reliable and have been with us for a long time!
I haven't thought about this but it totally makes sense for it to be that way. I'll pass over the feedback to our product team so we can analyze the viability of this idea. How do you think it could be done? I'm imagining showing 2 spaces: one with the projects completed in the last 365 days maybe as "most recent projects" and another one that says "This Pro has completed a total of X projects" WDYT?
Hi,
I'm resurrecting this because I believe it still has value, even more so with the new profile format.
Having completed thousands of jobs on this platform, it would benefit those who have stuck with it and not harm those who are newer.
How about it?
Hi Mark,
Thank you for reaching out and letting us know your thoughts.
We'll definitely bring your suggestion to our team so they can analyze for future releases. However, as you've seen, showing the projects done in the last 365 days has been effective both for Pros and clients.
Being able to see the work done in the last year let the clients know about the most reliable and active Pros in the platform. While showing those who've been with us for a longer period of time is a valid point, responsiveness and availability are what matters the most when selecting new Pros for work.
Moreover, there are cases where a Pro might've been active on the platform the year before, but not in the current year, it wouldn't be fair for those who are doing the best in the current year to be seen as "less active" just because they weren't active or even around the year before.
Well, I'm not saying replacing the "In the past year" metric.
But why not show, as Angela mentioned, an additional line showing that the Pro has been consistent and a benefit to clients? That they have delivered over the long haul.
We'll definitely share this feedback and great suggestion with the team.
Thank you both for taking the time in sharing this with us, we truly appreciate it.
