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.

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.

"Toptal will take care of everything."
What do you like best about Toptal?

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.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

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.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

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!

"The best place for the Top Freelancers"
What do you like best about Toptal?

Toptal provides good opportunities for learning and growth. Especially with certification program guides, talent coaching programs, and tech talks. Toptal team is very helpful in resolving your issues/concerns on many matters including payments, our profiles, client engagements, etc.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

I'm still in my 1st engagement. So far I have faced no difficulty with the platform or people.

What problems is Toptal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Positioning our capabilities for the customers/clients and getting hired is the biggest challenge in other remote work/freelancing platforms. Toptal solves that by onboarding freelancers through a very challenging recruitment process. Then provide jobs we can apply for based on our experience/capabilities.
