Premium clients, a clean payment schedule and excellent support, is where I feel Toptal excels in the "remote work" fraternity. Apart from that, many other perks like community programs, personal development and learning programs come as an added bonus.
There is not much to dislike about. But one thing that I feel Toptal can improve or restart is their Toptal Partner / Agency program to support companies and just individual talents.
Toptal is helping clients connect with top talents across the world. And on the other hand, talent like me gets to work with premium clients at my desired rates without worrying about timely payments and other hassles. And if a project is complete, Toptal's matching process helps talent to find another soon without much delay between the two.
No need to wait for payments, No need to search for clients
Nothing right now Sometimes theres too much gap in between projects
Finding quality clients, timely payments
I like most the ease of finding an engagement. And definitely not having to go through several rounds of interviews everytime for a new job.
I dont have anything to mention that I dont like.
Finding the clients for me.
It's been just one year at Toptal and I've had the chance to work in the comfort of my home with many different clients across the globe, dealing with different cultures and gaining different experiences. It's been a fantastic year with Toptal, and looking for many more upcoming years.
I don't think there is the too-bad stuff that can make me dislike Toptal. They are doing great, and they are talent oriented. They always offer their best to have you land your dream jobs and achieve your career goals.
I don't have to deal with clients' legal terms, payments, etc... All I have to do is focus on my work and deliver the best quality. They also offer competitive rates and an amazing application/system that always keeps you updated with new job posts, job interest requests, and more!
I have been using TopTal as a freelance/contract professional for a few years so far. I can only say that it is the best platform for selected clients and talents. Being in a network made of real professionals really benefits.
So far everything is fine. Initially, I struggled to get enough work hours, but after completing a few projects everything became much more fluent and I'm almost always busy.
Connecting with good clients, providing a good amount of work, giving financial stability, helping to grow as a professional, reducing a huge amount of time that I would need to use for selling my services directly to clients.
Excellent quality of clients. Outstanding responsiveness of staff and coordinators. Easy-to-use platform.
I have faced no significant drawbacks so far.
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.
