Not impressed with the service

I used Toptal to find a designer, but I was really disappointed. The first few I spoke to weren’t even close to what I was looking for. It took too much effort for something that should have been easier.

Just okay

It's decent but not great. Found some good talent, but it took forever.

Decent service but...

I found a good developer, but there were some communication issues. They were responsive, but things got lost in translation sometimes. Overall okay, but could be better.

Very happy with my choice!

I had a great experience with Toptal! The designer I hired exceeded my expectations and delivered ahead of schedule. Definitely worth the investment!

Fairly okay platform

I managed to hire someone who did an okay job, but their communication was poor. I reached out for support but didn't feel like they were super helpful.

Mostly good matches

I’ve had a few solid hires from Toptal. The vetting process brings in qualified people, but sometimes I had to go through multiple candidates before finding the right fit. Overall, it’s a reliable source for talent.

Good experience overall

I've been using Toptal for a few projects and while the freelancers are top-notch, the matching process took longer than I expected. Still, I'm happy with the quality of work.

Not what I expected

The first person I hired didn’t fit what I needed at all. It took a while to find someone who understood my project. Better vetting would help.

Not Impressed

I faced numerous issues with Toptal’s support and the freelancer I hired took ages to understand the brief. Honestly, it felt more like guesswork than a professional hiring process. Really disappointing experience overall.

Could be better

I had a few ups and downs with the freelancers I hired. Some were excellent, while others fell short. It’s a hit or miss type of service.

Mixed Experience

I found some great talent on Toptal, but the vetting process took way longer than expected. It felt like I was stuck in limbo for weeks. Some freelancers were top-notch, while others were mediocre.

Not worth it

Had a bad time trying to find a developer. I felt ignored by support when I reached out for help. Definitely not the service I was hoping for.

Alright experience

Toptal has its merits, but I had a clear misalignment with a freelancer I hired. It felt like they weren’t fully qualified, even after vetting. The support team was helpful in resolving issues, but I had to chase them a bit.

Frustrating Process

I waited too long for my freelancer to be matched. Communication was poor, and I felt lost more often than not.

Poor experience overall

I had a terrible experience with Toptal. The freelancer didn’t deliver what was promised, and getting a refund was a nightmare. Not using them again!

Good freelancers, but expensive

Great experience with the freelancer I hired. They exceeded my expectations and delivered on time. Only downside was the high fees, but worth it for quality work.

Okay experience

The concept of Toptal is great, but my last project didn’t go as smoothly as I hoped. There were some delays, and I had to step in more than I wanted. Not sure if I'd use them again.

It was okay

The service was alright. Took longer than I expected to find a suitable candidate, and I had to settle for someone who just met my needs.
