Alexandra was amazing. She accommodated a rough start with vendor team and kept me up to speed. Once development started she operated without oversight and solved the problem with professionalism and class.

I was matched with an excellent developer who quickly understood the code base and improved upon my application in the time frame allotted for the contract. Toptal allowed me to make progress over a holiday break that would have otherwise been stalled.

I have had a great experience so far. I've spent a career as a business lawyer, often in the startup space. Now I'm building a startup myself and need expertise in various areas like marketing and financial models. At TopTal I can hire fractional experts in any area. It's like a buffet for entrepreneurs. Makes starting a top-quality business so much easier.

Well organized company.
Great experience with Raphael.

Bogdan was great! Would use him again in a heartbeat!

Toptal provides vetted talent that exceeds expectations. We have used talent on short, 30-day, projects and long, 3-year projects. The skill and professionalism of the talent was a great asset to our very small IT team. Toptal's ability to find the right fit provided high value.

The Toptal process allowed me to rigorously evaluate and interview a handful of candidates; all of whom had the necessary experience I was looking for. As a result, the freelancer I engaged has been a perfect fit.

I joined this platform after completing a demanding screening process and have spent considerable time building my profile and applying for projects that closely matched my skills. Despite applying quickly and seeing applications marked as “under review,” I was repeatedly informed after a short period that I would not be selected, without meaningful feedback.

Recently, I was contacted regarding a project that matched my experience, and after an initial call I was told I would receive an update the same day. However, even after more than a week and multiple follow-ups, I did not receive a clear response. This made it difficult to plan around other opportunities.

Overall, the platform requires a significant time investment, and in my experience the lack of transparency, feedback, and timely communication made it frustrating to use. While it may work for some, it has not worked well for me.

Well so far I love my Project manager!

I had a 10/10 experience with Toptal. They first matched me with a very talented and flexible designer who delivered over our expectations.

I was very satisfied with the work and the rate. Results were top-notch and working with Dickon Kent helped professionalize our product quickly.

Our Toptal designer, Michael DeVries, has been an absolute pleasure to work with and a standout partner on a complex web rebuild project. He is incredibly thoughtful, detail-oriented and proactive, with a rare ability to balance strong technical execution, clean design and strategic thinking.

From day one, Michael took the time to truly understand our goals, constraints and long-term needs. He consistently offered smart recommendations, flagged risks early and helped guide better decision-making, including advising on a platform change that ultimately saved both time and cost. His communication is clear, reliable and highly collaborative.

Beyond his technical skill, Michael brings a calm, solutions-oriented approach that makes even complex projects feel manageable. He is responsive, flexible and genuinely invested in delivering high-quality work.

I would not hesitate to work with him again and would highly recommend him to any team looking for a trusted, highly capable developer.

great level of tech experience alongside a very client oriented actitude from all people i had the oportunity to talk with, they just got what we needed in the first go without having to repeat ourselves

i would not recommend Toptal for sales support. The salesperson they assigned to me was unable to make even one appointment the first week--and we were paying them $33 per hour. I would have given the salesperson another week had they made even one appointment. When I cancelled the underproducing salesperson, I received no response from Toptal and no offer to help find a quality salesperson. Overall a bad experience.

Toptal was extremely helpful as a first-time startup founder. They connected us with high-caliber talent we otherwise wouldn’t have had access to, and the overall experience and results exceeded expectations. I will be using Toptal again.

I'm too much happy

Efficiency. Expertise and professionalism

Great talent, easy-to-use platform.

We found a great developer quickly to assist our small business.
