A quick operational overview.
Hiring
Looking for freelancers
Search the freelancer directory, apply filters, and invite people directly instead of waiting only for inbound proposals.
Step-by-step guidance
Policy details
Open the app when ready
You do not have to rely only on posted-job proposals. ToptalExpert also lets clients browse registered freelancers and invite them into relevant projects.
How to search proactively
- Open the freelancer section from the site header.
- Browse profiles relevant to the type of project you want to hire for.
- Use filters to narrow the list based on experience, specialty, or project fit.
When this is useful
Use direct search when you already know the skill set you need and want to move faster than an open posting process.
This is also useful when you want to compare a few focused profiles before publishing a broader job ad.
Hiring previous freelancers again
If you have already worked with someone on ToptalExpert, you can hire that freelancer again and skip part of the evaluation process.
