Toptal Reviews & Product Details

- Easy to approach clients. - Client management and payments are handled effortlessly, one can focus on what they love to do. - A great set of team to assist you

None. I have found Toptal to be good at what it does and solves the gap between clients and top-quality talents very well. The connect is global across timezones and works very well.

Toptal is solving the problem of hiring top-quality contractors for businesses who need top-notch skillset. For contractors, it is easy to find good clients and put in the time they can, even as a digital nomad.

Toptal has been a wonderful experience for our company -- they have provided one of the sharpest, agile, and best talents we've ever worked with in our startup journey. Their costumer service and support is incredibly responsive as well.

The overall price can be a little bit on the higher end.

Finding the right partner for developing a full stack app, ranging from low level development, product roadmap, devops, and ui ux design.

This is my first experience with Toptal, and I have to say it's amazing. From the sales process to working with their developer, everything has been better than I expected. What I like the most is that they are crystal clear about the entire process, and if you have any questions, you can easily talk to your account manager.

Toptal has exceeded my expectations in every way

Toptal's developers our developing software for our company

Great customers, fair payment, super friendly IO

I like everything. It wasn't very easy to get in.

Earn money, find clients

Can work with clients from Bay area, sitting in anywhere in the world.

Less of a sense of community. As people are very loosely connected compared to a situation where everyone is an employee.

As I mentioned getting access to quality clients who can pay quality development rates.

I love the ecosystem of toptal; it's comprehensive and complete, there is always someone to help you with your problems, the clients are top-notch, and you get to work on quite technical problems. I was matched with a brilliant mentor and from which I got to learn so much about Kubernetes, so really really happy with Toptal.

To be honest, in my six months, I haven't found anything that I dislike about Toptal, hoping to keep it that way.

Toptal helps bring Tech Companies and Developers to each other.

Working with Toptal was a fantastic experience. They provided the necessary expertise, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service to help me develop a unique platform.

Hourly rates compared to a fixed fee but you can always work alongside the developer on coming up with a set budget.

Toptal took the time to understand my specific needs and goals, and provided expert guidance throughout the entire development process.

The process for finding clients is very smooth. When you set your availability, you are presented with opportunities until you are all set.

There is a room for improvement on how to handle international payments.

Toptal works with clients over a certain bar. The same goes for the talents. As a talent, Toptal makes finding clients and getting payments very easy.

The support from the recruitment process, the quality of the clients, the payment and management platform, and the quantity of available jobs.

There are not many options to reject a client if we do not like it at the interview or probation stage.

The connection between available jobs and professional's available time.

Toptal gives us the opportunity of reaching enterprise clients from abroad, and then it allows us to charge the hourly rate that we want. We don't have to compete with another developers in an auction.

In long-term commitments, the client typically is not satisfied because the Toptal fee is not reduced with the time (even though Toptal isn't actively doing anything at all). Additionally, if the client wants to hire the employee directly, the buy-out fee is really expensive and doesn't decrease with time (which would be logical).

I've been able to reach international enterprise clients keeping a good financial safety, allowing us to become freelancers with much more ease. I'm getting paid much more than what it's typical in my country.

The support from experts, from the technical content to the matchers

Nothing. Everything is great and there are plenty of job opportunities

It's connecting me to clients that demand technology solutions, offering good remuneration.

- Making sure the experience is great throughout the engagement - Working with top clients/companies

- It might take some time to find an engagement

- Connecting top talents with top companies - Working in a remote environment

The most helpful thing about toptal is just the client selection.

How rates are communicated, there is more demand than supply when it comes to job offerings; because the network is more extensive, it's harder to start with a client. 2019 I landed a job because of the slow process, and there were few non-clients.

Just the client discovery process and the legal, however, I haven't used these services and hope not to use them, but know for some cases and this is a great bonus for freelancers

Toptal had software engineers when we needed them most. Our company had reached out to a number of agencies to find talent and we were unable to get any assistance. Toptal were able to assist with our needs and helped us to progress our software. The team at Toptal were very helpful and worked with us to try and find solutions to reduce to overall spend and continue our relationship.

Toptal provides software engineers that are high quality but also higher priced. With only one payment currency option, the conversion rate impacted the ability to maintain the relationship with Toptal at this stage of the business.

Toptal have engineers available when we could not find any in Australia. They have a talent pool that has significant experience, and we were able to get a viable product created and released to market.

The best part of Toptal is, that this company has lots of projects to choose from, and if you cannot find a match for yourself, Toptal staff will help you to find something.

The downside - from contractor's point of view - is that the contract may be terminated on short notice.

Being part of Toptal community enables me to focus on my professional abilities, and not on all business interactions like signing contracts, finding customers etc.

As a developer, I could always do my work, but I couldn't "sell" it properly. It was always hard to find new clients; Toptal covers this aspect in the best way possible. A group of agents takes care of finding new clients based on our knowledge and making the best matchings possible.

There is not much to say here. From day one, working in Toptal was an incredible journey and still is. Although "dislike" is a very strong word, if I had to pick something, I would like to see more features and options regarding the debit card provided by Toptal for payments. For example, there's no 3d security, and I would like to see the possibility of making payments in cryptocurrencies.

As I already mentioned, my biggest problem was not only finding new customers but keeping a constant flow of work. Toptal covered this gap; since then, the collaboration has been without serious problems.

I have never had to deal with anything related to payments. I've worked with companies with cut in the edge technologies. I've met experts in each technology.

The lack of opportunities for hourly projects. A bit long process for hiring.

Toptal curates the top talent worldwide and matches them with companies that are in a rush to hire talent and may not be able to evaluate them.

Toptal has plenty of interesting jobs and clients to work with, in their network. They do the salary negotiation with the client, so we won't be pushed to receive as little as possible.

Overall there is not much to say here. Perhaps some internal processes could be more transparent, like when we apply for a job sometimes we don't have good feedback during the process.

Toptal can find the best remote jobs and clients.

Using the Toptal platform is incredibly intuitive, and the customer service is second to none. The onboarding process is swift and efficient.

The only thing I wish was a little different was more clarity for a short-term contract about having to give ten days' notice to end the engagement. I have ended up scheduling a long break until the end of the contract so I don't have to pay for when my contractor has finished the product.

Finding the right engineer at the right price fast. It has enabled us to build our product much faster and get it out to our customers.

- Great Communication - Awesome platforms to work with - I receive feedback constantly - Payment is direct and without surprises - Good clients to work with

- Doesn´t have a vacations plans since you are a freelancer and work by project. I am fine with that but it will be awesome If we have like at least a week per year paid for it.

They are changing the way we receive our Wires and now it is very fast to actually have the money in our account.Toptal is also helping me out to work on my free time and earn extra money which is great.
