I loved working with Toptal, it has been great working experience with respect to all the verticals/segments like Project allocation, interview, support and collaboration with matchers, timely review process. I found it much better than lot of standalone organization out there. Super fast on responding and helping on the concerns. The Turn around time is the best. The client engagements are really good.

Working with toptal is great.
The platform supports my personal growth as well as finding new roles.
The different teams of talent support are assisting tremendously on improving my portfolio.
There learning accelerator helps to growth my knowledge and my possibility of roles.
Same as the volunteer program that allows me to practice on none commercial projects, which reduce the pressure and allow to experience in weaker skills and improve the experience in them

I joined Toptal seven months ago and since then, my experience with their team has been nothing lesser than professional. Their team has been extremely helpful in finding a new job and their assistance throughout my engagement with the client project has been very helpful and responsive.

I'm looking forward to working with them more in the future.

Amazing experience
January 12, 2023

Hello! I want to share my opinion about working at Toptal. The UX of the site is very pleasant and all the processes are run smoothly. The only thing which I do not like and rated 4 stars is the fact that mostly job description have the same skill that I already have in my profile, but the are written in another form. E.g I have in my list "UI", the job description has "User Interface" and says that I am lacking one skill. Very discomforting experience when I add skills all the time with every job posting.
The rest about Toptal I am *******% happy

Too Many People
January 19, 2023

I see there are lots of people getting on boarded which is creating unnecessary chaos and the jobs are limited which degrades the hourly rates of candidates due to competition. I am worried if toptal will become like fiver. Please onboard the right (highly skill full) and limited candidates.

Toptal is awesome!
December 13, 2022

I am working with Toptal around 3 years and I have 11 projects on my account already. It is not only about freelancing - but for me it is way of life. Here I can meet a lot of fantastic people and work on awesome projects. There is a lot of variety, so every developer can find something interesting.
Also here I learn a lot - so many projects (even short ones) helps opening to new technologies and solutions. I am not afraid of trying new things anymore :)
