Wow way to alienate 80% of the work force buddy. Seriously, only allowing people who've worked at 'top tech companies' with your 16 company list can apply is the most asinine thing i've seen in a long time and must be some kind of joke. Straight up discrimination right from the get go.

Hey, It's not meant to discount any part of the workforce. In my experience, most freelance companies claim to have some top X% of talent, this doesn't mean they discount people who are not freelancing with them. I figured this messaging is a way to prove that people had experience working at high demand tech jobs. Kind of a show don't tell approach.

That said, if this messaging feels off to you that's good feedback.

If anybody wants to go and get a real contract, remote work, that doesn't DISCRIMINATE you immediately you can head to www.toptal.com
