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.

FAKE Risk-Free Trial I was provided the Toptal standard "risk-free trial" to test out a designer for three day and once I cancelled my trial because the resource did not meet expectations, they invoiced me IN FULL and then asked me if I would be willing to pay the resource out of my pocket. Will now need to spend time to handle with my legal/financial institutions to resolve. I had a good experience initially, and would have used to service again when it made more sense for my company. After I cancelled the trial before it moved into a contract, a representative of Toptal called and left a voicemail telling me I would not pay anything for my trial, but also asking me to pay the developer out of my own pocket after I cancelled my "risk-free trial" because - "Now the developer will not get paid anything, since the trial is free for you" - which is truly ridiculous since I WAS invoiced and they try to pass the burden of guilt for their clients to pay the TopTal engineers for the free trial that they offer. Since that phone call, they have fully cancelled my account on the platform that I paid $500.00 for and disallowed me to log in so that I couldn't manage the contract or request any further talent. Feels hardly legal. Truly upsetting experience.

Fantastic customer services! Great, friendly and extremely quick services! We were looking for a web designer and developer and Toptal helped us find the right person almost instantly. Just a few weeks later we have a better product than we could have imagined! Many thanks to Bill Greaves, our web designer!

I was very impressed with Toptal's… I was very impressed with Toptal's professionalism, timely responses, and great deliverables!
