I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Toptal (Montreal, QC) in Nov 2018
Interview
I got reschedule to re-apply at a later date because the interviewer felt my work was great but my presentation lacked details of the process. Despite the fact that the outline said to choose 6 pieces of work and briefly describe it. There was also a bit of discrepancy of how I approached certain things which is hard to pinpoint without showing a full platform. After the interview I have learned that my interviewer had less than 5 years of experience in design and UX field and his major in college and graduating degree was in a completely unrelated field. I am not sure how you can claim you hire top 3% of the talent into this company when your interviewer is a junior designer with a mediocre experience at best. Needless to say I won't be joining this company again. I am not inclined of having my experience judged by someone who has no idea what they are doing.

The interview process at Toptal is comprehensive and well-organized, starting with an application and initial screening, followed by a language and personality test. Next is a technical screening with live coding exercises, a project assessment to demonstrate practical skills, and a final interview to review the project and discuss your experience. It’s challenging and time-consuming, requiring a significant commitment, but it ensures you join a group of highly skilled professionals. More detailed feedback at each stage would be beneficial for candidates.
They have a few stages interview, in order to screen very carefully who acced on the platform. I acceded until phase 3 where my portfolio wasn't suitable for their needs.
