FAQs

  • Typically, you can hire trade marketing specialists with Toptal in about 48 hours. For larger teams of talent or full end-to-end project delivery, timelines may vary. Our talent matchers are highly skilled in the same fields they’re matching in—they’re not recruiters or HR reps. They’ll work with you to understand your goals, technical needs, and team dynamics, and match you with ideal candidates from our vetted global talent network.

    Once you select your trade marketing specialist, 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.

  • To hire the right trade marketing specialist, 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 trade marketing specialists for your project.

  • At Toptal, we thoroughly screen our trade marketing specialists 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.

    When you hire trade marketing specialists with Toptal, you’ll always work with world-class, custom-matched trade marketing specialists ready to help you achieve your goals.

  • You can hire trade marketing specialists on an hourly, part-time, or full-time basis. Toptal can also manage the project end-to-end based on your specific requirements as part of our Consulting and Services offerings. Whether you hire a trade marketing specialist 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 trade marketing specialists can fully integrate into your existing team for a seamless working experience.

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