The hackathon feature is a game changer

“I’ve used so many different platforms and never had any luck finding an editor. Not only did I find 1, but I found 2 after 72 hours of using Roster's hackathon feature.”

The recommendation feature is LEGENDARY

“I'm very particular about new hires. After a year of searching for a Thumbnail Designer, I tried Roster. Within 3 days, I found and connected with a top artist thanks to their recommendations. More creators should know about Roster."

Sherry Wong
Founder of Roster & Creator

Built by a creator, for creators.

“Roster was born out of my own struggles with hiring and the stress I faced as a creator. I realized there had to be a better way to find reliable, talented professionals who truly understood my vision. That’s why I created Roster—to make the hiring process seamless and to help creators like me avoid burnout by building the right team.”
