Excellent quality of clients. Outstanding responsiveness of staff and coordinators. Easy-to-use platform.

Connecting freelance talents with clients.

Toptal connects top developers around the world with serious clients looking for high-quality work.

The entry process was really hard but it was definitely worth it.

Toptal helps me to stand out from the crowd and be able to demonstrate my coding skills.

With Toptal, one can get to work on very exciting projects with minimal effort. From short-term appointments to longer projects, the clients seem to look for highly skilled talents for specialized tasks. So going from one project to another, one can acquire very different skills and improve. Toptal is the best experience in my career that makes me grow professionally beyond expectations, so I'd recommend it to anyone who likes dynamic and demanding work.

None whatsoever, even payments are punctual. Really sorry I can't help with any "suggestions for improvement".

Toptal takes away the need and anxiety when going from one client to another. "Losing a job" at Toptal really means just a brief pause before the next exciting thing, not something dreadful. Toptal matchers take care that new clients are ready to accept you, so hiring period is short and there are no "cold calls" and just a few rejected applications.

The best thing about Toptal is the large variety of projects and industries. You can collaborate with both startups and enterprises to help them build and launch great products.

The entry process is hard and takes a lot of time, but this also validates the high quality of freelancers and the reward they receive for the first class services.

Toptal is bridging the gap between clients with high expectations from the people they collaborate with and the best freelancers around the world. The benefit it brings me, as a designer, is that it gives me the opportunity to work alongside well established brands and help them design and build great experiences for their users.

Toptal is very well managed. I've been on other platforms and they're garage bands compared to TT. Never had a hiccup. The roles are very clear and the staff is very well trained

Sometimes, projects tend to fall through before they start. I don't think it's TT's fault, but it is frustrating to the talent, especially when they have turned down other opportunities in the meanwhile.

Toptal finds companies that need software services and present them with qualified professionals like myself. The benefit is that the high level of quality they offer to the companies means that you're starting on a very good standing with the client even before the project stats.

Toptal makes it easy to connect high caliber clients with top quality talent! In 2023, it's hard to think of another platform that's able to compete on the same level.

They've improved a lot since I begin working with them. Toptal is always improving their platform based on client and talent feedback, which I consider to be a big part of what makes them so successful.

Toptal is solving a vast array of problems for their clients by both analyzing their needs, then connecting them directly to problem solvers. This is why clients come back again and again - to get thier problems solved!

Toptal is known for its rigorous screening process, which ensures that only the top 3% of talent is accepted into the network, making it a popular choice for businesses in need of top-tier talent.

There is nothing more to dislike from total but to mention one not to Toptal only but to all freelance sites the job market is getting so much more competitive so it might be a little bit difficult to get hired immediately .

Toptal is solving the problem of finding high-quality freelancers for my business needs. The platform's rigorous screening process ensures that I can trust the talent I hire and the flexible engagement models have allowed me to hire freelancers on a project-by-project basis or on a long-term, full-time basis, which gives me more control and flexibility over my hiring needs. Overall, using Toptal has made it easier for me to find top-tier talent for my business needs.

Professionality, quality of service, act very quick and communiction is also top

maybe a little pricey for startups as price depends on location of the freelancers.

I needed an accurate market research for my new startup

Toptal has one of the best projects that you can find on any freelancing portal. The best thing about Toptal is their support for talents. They have people literally working for your success trying to get you a suitable job.

For someone living in Asia, timezone issues would be there as Toptal doesn't have many projects from the Asia timezone.

Toptal is connecting the world's top talents with the best tech projects out there. Toptal allows talents to work remotely with flexible hours.

It's the best platform where me as a designer ( ux and ui ) I can showcase my skills in numerous and different projects. On this platform everything is organised, you have specific people that takes care of you on specific problems on the logistic part. Basically you just need to work and not worry about anything else. The payment is great, and it can really help you to boost your financial status.

Nothing really. Everything is great. Professional people that will help you to boost your career in every way possible.

I have more than 12 years of experience as a designer ( ux and UI ) For me, it's very hard to find challenging projects, projects that brings a spark in my eyes and make keen to find solutions. Well, Toptal helps me with that. I find here the most creative and most challenging projects that I can find.

The network support. There's a whole team to provide support while we can focus on the client's satisfaction.

The low number of jobs for database experts.

Toptal provides me good projects to work on.

The easiness of getting engagements and the helpful community

Nothing, it is a perfect portal and solution

It solves the problem to find jobs at ease

Toptal community has professional career coaches, hiring managers, communities of practice, and different resources and opportunities outside of projects (e.g. learning and development; writing for the blog; volunteering). There is this great foundation for great experience as freelancer: vetting the clients and freelance professionals, making payments seamless and secure, and even finding the best jobs for you (I never had to search myself, although you of course could). But taking step further, there is this whole value of learning and support within Toptal, and sleek internal tools that improve continuously. And this is what I like best.

Getting in is hard, but I also love that it is a challenge, and if you make it, you can be proud you're in the top ~3% professionals. If I had to find something I dislike... I would appreciate if the payments were executed a bit faster: both in terms of shorter billing cycles, and the default time until invoices are due. But it is still totally ok as it is.

A great way to take on new jobs when needed and as much as needed - from a few hours to part time to full time. Working on interesting projects for great clients that are vetted, and making sure payments are secured and run smoothly.

TopTal is a team of highly experienced professionals in the field of job searching and matching. Most of their suggestions are a pretty good fit.

I don't see any. Sometimes I experience an excessing number of meetings during the interview process and job onboarding but this is completely minor.

It frees up my mind of the whole machinery of job search. Now I don't need to become a professional job hunter. I can stay a professional engineer.

It's a great experience to work with the Toptal team. They are significantly responding to any requests from talents and are very helpful. The primary POC gives valuable advice.

Nothing much I don't like about them, but the interview process may be a little strict to screen talents.

Toptal helped me as a self-employed contractor to find valuable long-term clients, and helped my business to grow and last in a stable style. Toptal also provides career growth advices and training.

Flexible working hours, high salaries, and the opportunity to expand your technical knowledge by working on cutting-edge projects while expanding your professional networking

The uncertainty in the time of completion of engagements with customers, most of the projects involve start-ups incorporating small tasks, and the opportunity of working with large companies is limited.

I use the application as a freelancer engineer so I solve customers' problems by providing solutions to their business needs.

My assignment is a perfect match with excellent company culture and exciting product.

The initial review of my test project and profile took longer than expected; I had to wait quite a lot to have a good match for the job (but it was worth to).

Finding the perfect job which matches my knowledge.

Toptal has high talented people and a very engaged community. I was able to participate in an initial toptal project and see it first-hand what is like to work with other toptalers

Timing for applying for a job might be too hectic. Sometimes if you do not apply a few hours after a posting I feel my application does not get through anymore.

They use highly skilled developers to solve complex problems for companies.

You can be selective in choosing jobs and apply to those you like. And you can work from anywhere. The payment system is incredible, too!

You can't see how many people applied to the job you are interested in.

It enables talents around the globe to work for companies around the world. It ensures the clients get a quality work and freelancers get paid on time.

Toptal showed me that you don't have to worry about anything but work. Toptal takes care of all the bills, paperwork and negotiations with the clients.

When you are working on the project which is going to end you are unable to apply to the new one because you don't have enough hours, so you need to reach out the manager to help with it. Not a big deal but a bit annoying.

You don't have to show your portfolio all the time and go through numerous interviews and do paperwork, you can completely immerse into the project. Toptal offers new projects, taking into account my preferences, which significantly expands horizons and allows me to move forward!
