About RosterHire

The people who make game day happen shouldn't be the hardest people to find.

RosterHire is the hiring marketplace for sports — built in Wisconsin, shaped by the athletic directors, coaches, and officials who use it.

Our mission

Connect every sports organization with the coaches and officials they need — and give every coach and official a fair shot at the work they love.

Our vision

A world where no game gets canceled for lack of a referee, no season starts without a coach, and no talented person misses an opportunity because they didn't know it existed.

Why RosterHire exists

Everyone else got a modern marketplace. Sports never did.

Ask any athletic director what keeps them up at night and you'll hear the same things: the officiating shortage, the coaching carousel, and the scramble every season to fill roles that keep kids playing.

Ask any coach or referee and you'll hear the other side: openings buried in Facebook groups, word-of-mouth hiring that favors who you know, and no single place to show what you can do.

Hiring in sports still runs on bulletin boards and group texts. RosterHire is the marketplace sports never had.

Our story

It started with canceled games.

RosterHire started in Wisconsin, watching the referee shortage cancel real games for real kids — not for lack of willing officials, but because the people who needed them had no way to find them in time.

That became our first feature: Emergency Fill, a way to get an urgent officiating gig in front of nearby officials in seconds. Then profiles, listings, applications, messaging, and hiring — everything a modern marketplace needs, built for the specific, seasonal, local reality of sports work.

We're independent, founder-built, and shaped by feedback from the ADs, coaches, and refs who use it.

How RosterHire helps

Built for everyone on the roster.

For coaches

One professional profile that shows your sports, levels, experience, and certifications. Real openings near you, one-tap applications, and status updates so you're never left guessing.

For officials & referees

Set your availability, list the sports and positions you work, and pick up assignments — including last-minute Emergency Fill gigs that pay you to save game day.

For organizations

Post a role in minutes, reach qualified local candidates, review applicants with real profiles instead of bare emails, message them directly, and track everyone from applied to hired.

For schools

Fill seasonal coaching roles and officiating needs from one place, with tools that support your safeguarding requirements, like background-check flags on listings.

For clubs

Find part-time and seasonal coaches who fit your program, your level, and your budget — without paying a recruiter to do it.

For professional teams

Reach a deep bench of credentialed coaches, officials, and staff, with the professional detail you need to evaluate them quickly.

Our values

What we won't compromise on.

Trust

Real people, real credentials, real jobs. Safety tools built in, not bolted on.

Integrity

We're the platform, not the middleman. No pay-to-play rankings, no selling your data.

Opportunity

Great candidates shouldn't need connections to get noticed. The best person for the job should be findable.

Community

Sports run on people who show up. We're here for the ones who chalk the fields, blow the whistles, and coach the kids.

Innovation

From Emergency Fill to availability that updates itself, we build practical tools for how sports hiring actually works.

Made for the people who make game day happen.

Every great season starts with the right people. RosterHire exists to help great people and great opportunities find each other — so the games go on, the kids keep playing, and the people who make sports happen get the chances they've earned.
