Toptal Reviews & Product Details

Toptal gives me the flexibility to work on part-time projects. In today's ever-changing world, none is married to a job. Everyone values their life more than money. Toptal gives me the choice of working when I want. Especially Toptal lets me give my best hours for the most productive and focused work I do - programming.

- Most of the Toptal projects are for US companies, so the time overlap requirements are not ideal for someone in Asia. I don't want to be a night owl; hence my options are limited regarding projects. - It would be nice when a recruiter decides to reject my application, so that I can move forward with other applications.

Remote working was essential for businesses to thrive for a long time. Having worked remotely for 8years, I know it is not everyone's cup of tea. Toptal allows employees and employers to decide whether to adapt this model and build their businesses.

- Very professional clients - Interesting projects - High rates - The network is very professional and takes care of the members

Actually there is no downsides in Toptal network.

Toptal created real freelance engagements. This is completely different from work in the company because members choose when they will work and on what projects. I would say this gave me complete freedom of choice.

Freedom to choose your technology stack and stay free from finding customers with old traditional way.

All good, nothing to dislike. Toptal provides best experience in freelancing for clients & consultants

Hunting new customers was never easy task. Creating contracts & chasing up for payments was not essy for everyone. Team making is not an easy job Toptal did it so intelligently. Blessings in disguise.

The philosophy behind the company and the way everything is aligned and structured is what makes Toptal a wonderful place to work in.

Nothing I can mention so far. I'm in fact happy with everything.

As a mom of three the very first thing I truly appreciate is the amazing work/life balance Toptal offers.

They pair you with developers specific to your use case. I don't have to conduct dozens of interviews with potentially qualified candidates, but just one interview with pre-qualified candidates. Fantastic!

Nothing really. It's a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Hiring

Joining Toptal has been an outstanding milestone achievement for me! I have worked with big and great companies that I would never have imagined meeting. The staffs at Toptal are so welcoming, encouraging, selfless and always ready to help no matter the time. Everything about Toptal is human, and they are prepared to assist you in your career growth every time and every day... And guess what? I will not only invite some of my friends; I will invite all of my friends that are great at what they do because there is no better family to join than TOPTAL!

The payment feature for Toptallers in developing countries is quite rigorous because most developing countries, like Nigeria, are blocked from receiving funds from international platforms; I would have loved a better means of payment for them should be considered, e.g. crypto

Toptal has been able to provide jobs to thousands and close to million of citizens of developing countries like Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa that never imagined getting to work with brands outside their countries. These have greatly and significantly improved and encouraged more experts to rise from these countries, thereby making the experts from these countries more noticeable worldwide.

- The platform is very intuitive - The people are responsive, friendly, and very professional - The experience is well put together - Toptal cares and doesn't hesitate to show it

- So far, I haven't seen anything I dislike. I could mention the possibility that it can take time before getting stable jobs, but Toptal remedies that by assigning Talent success coaches which is actually another plus.

- In some parts of the world, top talents, smart and hard-working people have issues accessing nice paying jobs because of many barriers. Toptal pretty much changed my life, because I can finally earn what I'm supposed to be earning with my skills.

I like that toptal cares about its community and guide you through the journey from start to finish. The quality of work in the organization is also on of the best

Finding gigs is hard and it seems now the company is aiming for more users and not so the top people. I feel the market is too crowded at this point and is hard to get more gigs.

I like they handle the administration part of my career and for the most part and I get to focus on the most important part which is my work.

The atmosphere at TopTal and the ability to work from everywhere and at any time.

My location. It's hard to get a job in Asia.

Toptal helps me get clients that I otherwise would have difficulties finding. Plus, do the entire paperwork for me, so I can focus totally on my job.

You can focus on doing a great job. After filling a complete profile, they match you with a client, or you can apply for different offers. Both ways make you spend less time finding clients and more time enjoying your work. Most clients they matched me with were terrific companies.

You need to be aware of the time between engagements in order not to be without work. They are improving this although as you can apply to new offers a month before finishing the current jobs.

They look for clients and take care of all the payments so you can focus on doing a great job. Besides, their accounting team is always kind and accommodating if you have any assignment problems.

No chasing clients for payments - all you need to do is to do the work, and the payments come per schedule. Also, the jobs come to you and it's pretty much always a good match. Also, the clients I work with are great companies.

There's a rather difficult selection process to get onto the platform, but it's worth the effort and, once you're in, you're on a good track. Although that wasn't my personal experience, I heard from people I know that it was a bit challenging to get the first gig, but after that it went smoothly.

I don't need to LOOK for work - the work finds me. Also, the money flow is extremely convenient and reliable, since all the money comes from a single source, and there's no need to handle each client individually when it comes to payment methods.

Quality jobs, great support through the interview process, guidance on the setting rates and compiling profiles, and easy contracting and payment.

I have yet to find anything that I dislike.

Contracting, commercials and payments. Everything is handled by Toptal.

Toptal is a great community of highly skilled professionals where you can find many opportunities to work with various businesses, from small startups to large enterprises.

It may take up to a few months to find your first engagement, especially if you're looking for a Part-Time / Hourly rate. Just be patient and apply to the jobs that are most relevant to your skills to be hired faster.

Toptal is updating its Web and Mobile apps to ensure its users have the best experience using them. The apps work well, and I feel connected to the right opportunities.

With Toptal you can be sure that you will be paid according to your payment schedule.

I was confused about specializations. Initially, I was registered to the wrong one, and I had to pass one more exam to join the specialization that I wanted to. It took a while, but the toptal support responded quickly to help.

Payments don't depend on the client and are always on time, Toptal matchers help to find suitable clients for you, and support responds within 24 hours.

Honestly, it is the support team at Toptal. All the coaches, matchers and mentors support you throughout your journey. I don't even receive this level of support from my family members. For the first time, it really feels like someone really has your back. They are not just looking to exploit you. Other freelance platforms try to get the most work done from you with the least possible budget. It's just a race to the bottom on those other platforms. But at Toptal, the core team genuinely have your best interests, and it feels like they want me to succeed and be compensated well for my time and effort. People from the core team are always willing to help you without judgement, and I think THAT is just awesome. Yeah, the money is great and all, but the support you receive from the core members is far, far better.

Absolutely Nothing. So far, my experience has been excellent.

Creating a platform where not only they clients get treated well, but freelancers too.

Easy to use for beginners. People were very understanding

The only issues I had were my own management problems, since it's the first time I hired a developer. No problems!

The technology we're using was missing a feature, and a developer was able to create a program that fixed that.

IMHO Toptal is one of the best freelance networks and a good source of job opportunities. The things I like most: - An excellent and intuitive internal platform; - A well-organized payment system; - Helpful support and great community; - Good public profile page for a member; I am happy that I joined them.

There is nothing particular I dislike. Some clients can be challenging to deal with, but this isn't Toptal's fault; they are trying their best.

With Toptal, you are not constrained with your geographic location and can work worldwide market. They step as a legal entity guarantor between employer and employee and organize many things such as legal issues and payments.

The stability that Toptal brought to my life is amazing. Every day there are new exciting jobs that I can apply. Once you show good consistent work, jobs almost literally comes knocking on your door.

I still have difficulties managing finance when receiving 2x a month for a full-time gig. But I think that's on me; there's no way around :) Maybe one thing I dislike is when I put a lot of effort into an application, but in the end, I wasn't fit for that client's budget.

Steady income of new clients: I don't need to go hunt for clients; applying is very easy. There's almost no need to bother with finance chores, everything is very easy and trustworthy. And lastly the transparency that the platform and email brings.

I like the transparency in the processes, support and human aspect.

Nothing. All is great. The human aspect of the team

Availability and customer contact about activities

Job offers, Introducing engagement, payment system

I couldn't find the toptal terms of service again. When I become the member of the toptal, I could read it. But now I don't know where I can find it. :-)

I think it's perfect!
