How are Toptal inbound marketers different?

At Toptal, we thoroughly screen our inbound marketers to ensure we only match you with the highest caliber of talent. Of the more than 200,000 people who apply to join the Toptal network each year, fewer than 3% make the cut. In addition to screening for industry-leading expertise, we also assess candidates’ language and interpersonal skills to ensure that you have a smooth working relationship.

Can you hire inbound marketers on an hourly basis or for project-based tasks?

Whether you hire a inbound marketer 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 inbound marketers can fully integrate into your existing team for a seamless working experience.

What is the no-risk trial period for Toptal inbound marketers?

We make sure that each engagement between you and your inbound marketer 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 inbound marketer who may be a better fit and with whom we will begin a second, no-risk trial.
