Toptal Reviews & Product Details

Stablility, community, great support, opportunities, interesting jobs, working with talented people all over the world. It's the best freelance platform to work.

Nothing important comes to mind. But there is one thing, I would add paid vacation, at least for long-term jobs. IMHO that detail would make the platform perfect.

Connects talented freelancers and great companies from all over the globe.

Toptal is an awesome platform where you can work directly with enterprise-level clients. Talent can easily grow here career-wise and also can update his skills through the learning portals and certification programs.

There is nothing much that I would have disliked yet about the Toptal. If there is any flaw in the system, these guys keep putting their effort to make this platform the best of all.

Toptal is cutting out the middle man in the freelance industries and making talents work hand in hand with the client. The system is well organized and I have seen it only allows the clients to join who have a reasonable budget for their work.

Toptal helps me to find good clients matching my skills. Unlike other freelance networks, employers struggle with finding good engineers and vice versa. I work in my best focus time of the day, they don't track my working time. I can work more today and work less tomorrow, the productivity and efficiency are more important. I can work in the morning, then do some exercise like swimming in the afternoon and then spend a couple more hours working and meeting with clients in the evening.

When looking for new projects in Toptal, you may receive many invitations to apply, or you send many proposals for interesting jobs, but the rate that Toptal introduces you to clients is not high. Maybe when you are already done with some projects via Toptal, you will be able to get hired more quickly. Most clients are from America and Europe. It's hard to find clients in Asian time zones.

The Toptal platform can help me find good jobs, good clients, good technologies that I like to work with and of course, good income compares to local jobs in my region.

The best thing about Toptal is that I can work remotely with companies around the world, it's especially useful if you live in a low-income or third-world country, as it opens doors that would be otherwise very hard to open.

In my experience there isn't always a great match between the projects and the interest of developers, the tech stacks aren't always a great fit. It would be better if the recruiters could share more of the project information so the developer can make an informed decision.

Toptal solves the problem of connecting freelancers with companies that need developers, it provides value for both the companies and the developers as salaries are higher than usual for thrid-world countries.

Working with so talented people it's always a great experience, you can trust everyone in the team has the skills and the right attitude to make your product a success in the market. Also, with this new era of remote work, you can be sure that you will work with the best of the best in the world.

You need to take care of your needs, healthcare, life insurance, etc. it's not a bad thing but you need to be more organized.

Toptal matches the best companies in the world with the best talent available. Breaking frontiers and allowing collaboration around the globe.

Working with well known companies, interesting projects, timely payments and great people from different parts of the world. Feel as a part of bigger and international family.

Quite bureaucratic, even if you see you are a good fit to the client your profile is not introduced. Clients can terminate you without notice, no pipeline planning of projects is available.

Toptal helps me to connect with interesting clients and projects. Toptal provides timely payments and do not have to think about invoicing or following up on payments with customer.

Quality of clients, the seamlessness of processes, hassle-free payouts, and excellent hourly rates. Freedom to choose the full-time, part-time or hourly jobs and your own rates. Transparent self-service apps and web platform Great slack community.

Tough entry criteria, only around 3% of applicants get through the application process if you look from the client-side, it's actually a thing necessary to maintain great quality.

In other freelancer platforms, there are no entry barriers for talents and hence payout is very low because of the competition. Both talent and clients suffer because of it. The bidding platform makes it difficult to work with. Toptal vets both clients and talents, so that quality can be maintained on both sides. It provides a reliable and great experience for all stakeholders. Toptal connects great freelancers with companies looking to get their work done with excellent quality. Toptal has impacted my personal and professional life for good in many ways. I can spend more time with family and friends. Unlike a job, I am my own boss and am free to take long vacations when I need to. I am not burdened with employment performance pressures and corporate politics. It helped me connect with people all

It always has been a hassle to find quality clients and to get paid, and some of the other online platforms are just a race to the bottom where you have to be paid pennies to be accepted. Toptal fixed these two pains for me, where they provide several jobs with professional clients consistently, and payment is always guaranteed for the work I do, getting paid regularly and fairly with a rate that matches my experience level. They are also always making sure they support the Toptal community and help anyone struggling with various issues such as being unable to land a job and providing several learning tracks for some of the most in-demand technical skills.

Thankfully I haven't had any issues while working for Toptal.

I have been a freelancer (part-time and full-time) for more than 7 years, and it has always been an issue to find good clients and get paid regularly or even at all. Toptal makes sure that I can apply to several high-quality jobs, and get paid regularly.

Large community, options for career growth and collaborating with peers all over the world.

Nothing to be honest as the platform is well built.

Connecting TopTalents with companies that need quick hires and talented freelancers.

The ability to work from anywhere without limitation to 1 location, and exposure to international challenging projects with multinational and fortune 500 companies.

Nothing, I am very satisfied with the experience, they support their talents and there are always lots of jobs coming, so if you know how to sell your skills and price them competitively you will keep on getting work.

Toptal is solving the shortage of labor in specific countries and decentralizing the work, I live in Lebanon, a country facing hyperinflation and still able to have financial security working on remote projects with Toptal.
