Additionally, we assume that the number of top rated plus, top rated, and rising talent keeps changing each day due to the same rotation principle. This will likely impact the total number of searchable freelancers<ref>https://community.upwork.com/t5/Support-Forum/About-not-related-search-results/m-p/1120823↵↵https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/Algorithm-how-Upwork-sorts-Freelancers/m-p/135262</ref>.
+It's probably a good move for Upwork to restrict the number of searchable high quality freelancers to around 100k as this ensures the platform's quality continue to grows i.e those freelancers who are starting out get a chance to be hired and build a reputation. However, this policy reduces the supply of high quality freelancers. Therefore, some clients may end up hiring freelancers with no reputation at all. If these freelancers screw up, clients might be discouraged to keep hiring in the platform.
