We work hard to provide flexibility and diverse project opportunities so that you can grow professionally, so it's great to hear that you value this. With regards to lag time between projects, keep in mind that this is often simply because clients need time to make decisions. Feel free to ping your matcher any time for best practices on starting a new project.

Pros

Met some good dedicated employees and freelance workers.

Cons

Lack of any real industry solutions or capabilities since 100% of delivery services are freelance contractors. Model has been successful as providing staff augmentation to clients, but all intellectual capital and outcomes are owned by the clients or the freelancer. Toptal is simply a staffing platform broker who marks up the freelance talent. Great if you need a plumber, but not if you're planning to build a bathroom.
