Frustrating process
I was really let down by how long it took to get a match. I expected faster service, but I spent more time waiting than actually working with a freelancer. I won’t recommend this.

Disappointing service
Signed up thinking it would be a breeze to find great freelancers. Had a couple of good interviews but most ended up being a waste. Not happy with the overall quality.

Average Service
Found my freelancer, but the platform feels clunky. It’s hard to navigate at times, and getting updates was a hassle.

Disappointed with the experience
I had high hopes for Toptal, but the freelancer I got was not as skilled as promised. Took longer than expected and I ended up spending more time fixing their work. Definitely not what I was looking for.

Need improvements
The selection process was lengthy, and a few candidates I got didn’t meet the skills I wanted. I felt like I wasted time interviewing them.

Not Worth It
The support was slow to respond. Didn't get the help I needed during the hiring process. Really frustrating experience.

Underwhelmed
I signed up thinking I'd get access to elite talent, but the experience was rocky from the start. My first freelancer didn’t meet my expectations and then I had to go through the hassle of getting a refund. The whole rating scheme seems flawed too.

Hoping for better results
Toptal has a lot of hype, but honestly, I wasn’t blown away. My first hire was decent, but my second choice ghosted me, which was really frustrating. I contacted support, but the response was slow. I’m still on the fence.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Unreliable Platform
I had issues with my project's timeline due to my freelancer's responsiveness. I expected better organization from Toptal. Plus, the fees are higher than other platforms, and the value isn’t there.
