Our talent matchers are highly skilled in the same fields they’re matching in—they’re not recruiters or HR reps.

    Once you select your Digital strategist, you’ll have a no-risk trial period to ensure they’re the perfect fit. Our matching process has a 98% trial-to-hire rate, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best fit every time.

  • How do I hire a Digital strategist?

    To hire the right Digital strategist, it’s important to evaluate a candidate’s experience, technical skills, and communication skills. You’ll also want to consider the fit with your particular industry, company, and project. Toptal’s rigorous screening process ensures that every member of our network has excellent experience and skills, and our team will match you with the perfect Digital strategists for your project.

  • Can you hire Digital strategists on an hourly basis or for project-based tasks?

    You can hire Digital strategists on an hourly, part-time, or full-time basis. Toptal can also manage the entire project from end-to-end with our Managed Delivery offering. Whether you hire an expert for a full- or part-time position, you’ll have the control and flexibility to scale your team up or down as your needs evolve. Our Digital strategists can fully integrate into your existing team for a seamless working experience.

  • What is the no-risk trial period for Toptal Digital strategists?

    We make sure that each engagement between you and your Digital strategist begins with a trial period of up to two weeks. This means that you have time to confirm the engagement will be successful. If you’re completely satisfied with the results, we’ll bill you for the time and continue the engagement for as long as you’d like. If you’re not completely satisfied, you won’t be billed. From there, we can either part ways, or we can provide you with another expert who may be a better fit and with whom we will begin a second, no-risk trial.
