I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview consisted of three parts. 1. Culture Fit with Recruiter 2. 30 Minute Live Data Science Coding Exercise 3. Take Home ML Challenge to be presented to a Technical Member of Staff. Overall good interview process that checks technical and social skills of potential freelancers joining the community.
The process was fairly long but they were up front with the the expectations of it. You can get more info on all the stages on their site. That's the gist of it. Final project is quite time consuming

Interview
The recruiter was great, as were all the people that interviewed me. It starts with a interview with the recuiter, followed by a take home case study, one interview with the area and another with the team leader. The proccess was very straightfoward and fast.
