What is Roster?
Roster is a specialized AI-powered hiring platform designed specifically for content creators to find and hire top behind-the-camera talent. The platform helps creators avoid burnout by making it easy to build a supportive team, offering access to verified professionals who understand creator-style workflows. Roster matches creators with talent like video editors, thumbnail designers, scriptwriters, content strategists, ghostwriters, and business experts across 20+ roles.
The platform's core feature is its AI recommendation system that analyzes a creator's brand voice, content style, and aesthetic to provide personalized hiring recommendations. This eliminates the frustration of sorting through thousands of irrelevant portfolios and spam applications. Roster also includes free built-in applicant tracking software (ATS) that allows creators to compare candidates, receive automated acceptance/rejection emails, and manage relationships with shortlisted candidates for future opportunities.
Roster is built by a creator for creators, born from the founder's own struggles with hiring and the stress of managing content production alone. The platform is trusted by top creators including JT Casey, Alan Chikin Chow, and Nick DiGiovanni, and its talent pool includes professionals who have worked with renowned creators like MrBeast, Dude Perfect, and Ali Abdaal. Creators can hire freelancers, contractors, or full-time employees, with the ability to hire within 24 hours through a simple three-step process: discover (post job), match (AI recommendations), and hire (choose from recommendations or applicants).
For talent, Roster connects freelance and full-time professionals with world-class creators, allowing them to keep 100% of their earnings with no commission or subscription fees. The platform serves both production roles (video editors, designers, producers) and non-production roles (legal counsel, business experts, strategy consultants), making it a comprehensive workforce solution for the creator economy.
