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!
I had an extraordinary experience working for a Toptal client as a Software Architect. They match you with serious business, and they have interesting projects. Furthermore, they have career assistance with courses and other tools for your personal growth.
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.
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.
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.
I have been working with Toptal for 5 years now. The projects and the clients are top notch. There are always projects in the pipeline as well as long term projects. The setup is very professional and the workflow is quite streamlined. Payments are always on time. Overall, its been a great experience.
I have been working with Toptal for the last four years, and It's been a life-changing experience for me. The level of professionalism of the Toptal team is remarkable. The way they provide me with high-quality projects and that too so frictionlessly has really had a tremendous positive impact on my career. I am very thankful to Toptal for having faith in my skills, utilizing those skills in the best possible way, and supporting me in my career.
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
Jobs are there from all over the world. No need to find client or job. You just apply to job that fits you. Toptal matchers try to make the best matching as fast as possible.
Toptal handles payments and ensures it to be on time.
Support on any request is awesome.
Worked with many Toptalers in different projects, quality is really high.

I've been working in Toptal for more than a few years so far. I can assure you it's the best platform if you consider yourself a top-notch player. I have more than 15 years of experience and my work has been viewed more than a billion times. I'm happy that Toptal connects me with great clients and provides great assistance in intermediating with them.
Working on Toptal has been a fantastic experience for me. I have had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects with clients from different industries. The platform has made it easy for me to find interesting and challenging projects, and I have been able to work with some amazing clients.
The community of talented developers on Toptal is also a great asset, and I have been able to collaborate with and learn from some of the best developers in the world.
Overall, my experience on Toptal has been positive in every way. I have been able to work on exciting projects, earn a good income, and have the flexibility to work from anywhere. I would definitely recommend Toptal to any freelancer looking to take their career to the next level.
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.
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.
Working with Toptal for so many years gives me the opportunity to get many different projects in different verticals. Not only that Toptal is amazing matcher, I also don't have to worry about any papirology, invoices. Both three parties are happy (clients, me and Toptal). Besides, Toptal community offers growth opportunities, pro-bono experiences and so much more.
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.
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.
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.
