What is the no-risk trial period for Toptal MySQL developers?

We make sure that each engagement between you and your MySQL developer begins with a trial period of up to two weeks. This means that you have time to confirm the engagement will be successful.

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.
