Small company with big needs We are a small startup bootstrapping our way to a new software product. I talked to several companies that provide flexible resources similar to Toptal but none had a more obviously well thought out business model and great tools to aid customers in achieving their goals. The best part is they were willing and able to find great resources that fit within our rate restrictions and requirements. Not once but 3 times! I've been in the IT world for many years and dealt with lots of staffing companies with different models. These guys are not a staffing company. Toptal is a solution company that invests heavily in the success of their customers.

Need an expert you can't find on your own? Toptal is the answer. Toptal isn't inexpensive but when you need the highest quality professionals with just the right experience, they are a very important bridge to the expertise you need.

First UI Experience This was my company's first experience using a UI designer. Previously, we relied on our engineers to design screens. While I products were functional, they had no "pop". First impression of Toptal designers was that they were way above our weight class and overkill for what we perceived as our need. We were wrong. Designer we hired started by researching similar products in the market so he brought a third-party perspective to what we were asking him to do. It took a while to develop a working relationship. But within a few weeks, designer was clicking with our team. By the end of the engagement, we had completely redesigned our product -- look, feel, flow and function. Unexpected benefit was the designer's work product gave our developers all the tools they needed to create the new UI on our platform with a minimum of re-coding.

Prefect to find skilled people fast - fast replies and follow up - listening to our needs - great profiles and people! Only downside: billing time of 14d on every invoice with our credit card as back up. Creates sometimes problems for other software licenses.
