Working experience at Toptal
November 25, 2022

This is one of the best talent and freelance platforms I have ever used. The vetting and matching process ensures the talent is dependable and prepared to deliver.
The clients have reasonable expectation of what the talent can offer once they join a team or project.

It has been an amazing and positive experience!

First Customer Project
February 15, 2023

My first customer engagement was well matched with my technical experience and the customer contacts were clear on requirements, process and communication. This was a data migration project that was closed early due to accounting structure complexities that needed to be resolved internally. This was still a productive assignment - a migration plan and process was developed and executed to a point where they could identify scope of issues that needed business review. At that point they decided to reset their upper management's expectations and re-group at a high level on the system implementation.

ContractPod Technologies
August 2, 2023

I am really pleased in how engagement went.
It was a rocky start, where at first things weren't defined clearly and completely and first couple of deadlines were short, but shortly after we figured out inside the team how to approach sprints better everything clicked and we did some amazing work.

I am very pleased with Ashwini, I reported to her, both on personal and professional level, she was truly great.

I appreciate opportunity to work for this client, this was good job.

One of the best networks I've been part of
January 16, 2023

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.

Great matchers
November 29, 2022

Matchers and coordinators are really helpful. At first my pitches were almost similiar then I have asked from coordinators to help me they gave me great advice. Furthermore if you ask feedback from matchers most of them will provide it and based on that you can increase your chance to land a project

Freelancing Made Easy
August 31, 2022

It took me about a month to complete all the steps for getting into Toptal but once that was done the process of getting a Job on the platform was quite simple. It took me less than a month to secure my first job after completing my toptal profile and after that its been smooth sailing. It's quite easy to schedule off time and handling payments has been a breeze.

I was a freelance 1,5 years before starting with Toptal and it wasn't really good. I wanted to be able to choose who to help and where to work. I wanted to live my life on my terms, being truly to myself.

But the projects I had were a lot of work and not enough money. Also, living in a place, with a language I still don't control, it didn't make my idea of living easy. I was actually looking for a new job.

Toptal has given me that door. It has given me the possibility to help companies (I have worked with 2 so far) that are aligned to my values; to work with a client that knows how important your work and your time is, no matter where you are or where you come from. Without all nightmares related to the payments.

So thanks to Toptal to give the opportunity.

Best freelance experience ever.
April 6, 2023

Being part of this big platform ia an honour for me. My experience with Toptal as a freelance gave me the opportunity to gain experience with the global market, to develop new skills, to market myself and find new interesting project.

The main benefit of working with Toptal is the ability to work from anywhere, flexibility on setting my schedule and choosing on what project to work with.

Very professional
September 16, 2022

It is soo professional and easy to work with Toptal. It is much easier when there are no long technical interviews or hourly rate negotiation. The projects are mostly well defined and they are not some school projects to work on. They are real companies and startups.

Professionalism at its peak
April 12, 2023

It was my second project with Toptal and the way they handle the hiring process and the support I received from their internal project manager was wonderful. I felt respected and admired for my skills, which I think is a great gesture from a platform like this.

Toptal is something else
September 30, 2022

I've been a freelancer for 15+ years. I've tried a bunch of other freelancing platforms. None of them comes even close to Toptal. My experience is very positive. I have been working on some amazing projects, doubled my income, and learned a lot from fellow Toptalers... I feel like I'm part of amazing network of elite professionals.
This is the best freelancing experience I've ever had... and it keeps going...
Keep it up Totpal!

I've been on the Toptal platform for about 4 years and receive roughly 10 invitations/week to projects. Some are the mundane "pay the rent" projects, which I'll happily (and easily) do, but most are interesting, challenging, 3-6 month CFO projects. This keeps me coming back to the platform. I highly recommend it for quality of projects/clients and ease of applying to them. Payments are done 100% on time and in accordance with my timesheets.
