Sounds like that first claim is a blatant lie, and the real top freelance talent cannot be found on Toptal. They won't hire everybody, so the talent they offer is probably solid mid-tier.
1. advertises the "top 3% of freelance talent" on its home page
2. on an inside page says that what that really means is roughly the top 3% of freelancers who apply to join Toptal
3. on the same inside page states that it rejects nearly 3/4 of those applicants at the first step for unsuitable language/communication/personality before they start testing for technical ability
4. also on the same page advertises that applicants will need to complete a 1-3 week test project before being allowed to join their network in addition to passing various earlier screens?
