Toptal is for Entrepreneur's Looking to Hire the Best!

I had been looking for a company, or individual with the skills to help me build a website for our company for about a month or two until I decided to sign up for Toptal. We were looking for someone with the right skills to help us build, and integrate our website with different API's. I was quickly assigned a manager for my project and was able to interview candidates with the TOP skills which made the hiring process very easy and allowed us to get started right away! I have enjoyed using Toptal, will definitely use them again, and recommend them to any entrepreneurs interested in building an application or website. These guys are the best, and they don't mess around. You get what you pay for with Toptal!

Andranik Khachatryan, very helpful with first AWS Sagemaker project.

Andranik Khachatryan was very helpful in providing guidance that allowed me to get my first ML URL classifier up and running on AWS Sagemaker fairly quickly. Over several 1hr sessions he walked me through some example Jupiter notebooks explaining the Proprietary AWS ecosystem peculiarities and how to avoid many of their pitfalls. All in all a real time saver! If you are doing your first AWS Sagemaker project, Ando will be very helpful to you!

Amazing Customer Support

Changing developers can be a very trying and scary step to take. I was pleasantly surprised as to how good of a job the Toptal team has done to make me feel at ease and safe in my decision. Everyone I have encountered have been professional and kind. I am so happy with my new developer and I am looking forward to this as a long term relationship. I would highly recommend Toptal if you need to find high quality individuals to help you with your business.

Being based in the Bay Area

Being based in the Bay Area, finding a designer for a part-time job could have been very time consuming and costly. With Toptal, we found a designer ready to start in less than two weeks. He has been working remotely with us for one month now, and has exactly the experience that we were looking for, with skills in product design, branding, and front end development. I highly recommend this platform if you are looking for a design contractor.

TopTal lives up to their name: Top Talent found

I engaged TopTal to find a B2B product designer, and they very quickly found a perfect match. Not only did the designer have relevant product and industry experience but also they were a good personality match for me.

I chose TopTal as an agency based on a referral, and I'm glad I did!

Great Experience

Toptal works with you to try and figure out your needs, then they work with the person you need to hire to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

As to how well they accomplished that, smoothly it has indeed gone. The people I have worked with have been great. So far the people I have worked with have been high quality and showed experience and knowledge.

Overall it's been a great experience.

Toptal is amazing—5 stars

It’s been a great experience at Toptal. My designer, Melissa is very professional and very easy to work with. She really wants me to be successful in my product. Not only is she helping me design an app, but she’s also helping me with logos, research, and marketing. I suggest everyone hires her (but only after I’m done.) Seriously. The entire staff is super nice. When I first considered working with Toptal, I was in communication with Mackenzie. She is truly remarkable. She listened to me and matched me with candidates who she knew I would like. Thank you Toptal. I can’t wait to see the outcome of my app!

Very poor experience with Toptal

Very poor experience with Toptal. We have invested roughly a 10k or so in Toptal developers. Most have quit before project completion. The work that was complete was adequate, but severely over priced. You can typically find Toptal's developers for 1/2 the price on a site like UpWork (have noticed several developers that have been sent to us via Toptal on Upwork). You could make the argument that you pay a premium for Toptal's "service" but their service is quite poor. They are late to respond to
clients (sometimes 48H response time) and spend more time on billing than they do on customer satisfaction. Our start-up experienced a couple of slow months and instead of attempting to work with us to come to a solution they charged us an additional $1,000, sent us to collections, and now have an attorney contacting us daily. Other development agencies we are working with have been accommodating with good customer service, are less expensive, and their developers are in the US and are of higher quality. If you are looking for a solution simmilar to Toptal I recommend gun.io. They understand their start-up clients and offer a higher quality of developer at a lower price in our years of experience.

Reply from Toptal
Hi Andrew,

We're sorry to hear the experience on your end was not more positive. We engage with companies of all shapes and sizes, including many startups. We are transparent about costs so our clients can make informed budgetary decisions. Each client also has access to a dedicated team that is devoted to making the Toptal experience as successful as possible.

These services are offered with the expectation that payment is rendered according to the mutually agreed-upon payment terms.

In the handful of months your company engaged with Toptal, there were multiple instances of lack of payment. The specific case where a person did ask to be taken off a project was precisely the result of these recurring payment issues causing repeat project interruption.

All other project work was completed as agreed upon, as you're likely aware.

Ultimately, our extensive outreach over the course of our time working together and after to resolve the matter has not been met with much, if any, response from you. The status of your account reflects this accordingly.

We wish you and your company all the best.

Sarah England
Head of Client Experience

Python/Django + Angular Dev Team

The talent that we received from TopTal has been truly exceptional. We contracted two resources; one was a backed python/Django developer and the other a frontend Angular developer. Before the project began, we had some concerns about having remote resources working together in two different environments to accomplish the project but these concerns were quickly put to rest almost immediately when the project began. Our developers established tools early on to help manage the project efficiently and completed the project flawlessly from start to finish. I could not be happier with the outcome or with the talent that we received.

5 stars: Excellent

Great Experience!

Working with TopTal has been a great experience. They were able to quickly direct me to a quality designer when I had found difficulty in locating one on my own. After the contract was signed, they continued to provide excellent support and follow up. I would highly recommend their services.
