I've had some really bad experiences with some other freelancer platforms like Upwork, where there are fake middlemen, super low bids forcing you out of the job (then same job being listed a month later due to failures etc.),
Accounts being frozen because of bidding to often! Haha, I can't build a website for $2.
So, how do you rate your user experience on TopTal vs. the other platforms?
Me too! Those networks are free-for-alls and it's all about first touch points. I remember back in the day there was a project on UpWork (from a developer) who wanted to build a bot to auto-bid on new projects (facepalm)
Back to TopTal, it's a much better experience from the talent (engineer) side. I set my availability and TopTal recruiters (who are full time employees) work to match my skillset to open positions. It's a mix of pro-active (I submit a request to learn more about a job posting) and re-active (recruiter actively reaches out to me about a job posting).
Thanks for taking time to answer questions!

Haha, that's funny!! Yes, so you know exactly!
I almost gave up the idea of freelancing after that fiasco.
So, that approach sounds a lot better.
Do you build a relationship with 'your' recruiter or is it a team that helps you?
