Share Roster, find work

Roster works a little like a neighborhood. A good one fills up slowly, one person at a time, and the more people who live there, the more reasons there are for others to move in.

Here is the loop we are building together:

• More designers make Roster worth visiting for the people who hire.
• More hiring teams and recruiters mean more roles on the job board and more people browsing profiles.
• More jobs and more views make Roster worth joining for the next designer.

Every step feeds the next one. You are part of it, and a few small habits make it spin faster for all of us.

Share Roster with a friend

The most powerful thing you can do is the simplest: tell someone. A designer friend who is between jobs. A former teammate with great work and no portfolio site. Send them the link to roster.design and let them ask to join.

Roster is invite-only on purpose. It keeps the community small, friendly, and full of people who care about their craft. Every designer who joins makes the whole Roster more valuable to the next one.

Use your invites, especially for people who hire

You have invites on your profile. Do not let them sit there.

The best use of an invite might be a hiring manager, recruiter, or founder you know. Every hiring team that joins brings real roles to the board and a fresh set of eyes on all of our profiles. If you have worked with someone who is always looking for good designers, an invite is a gift to them and to everyone on Roster.

Used them all? Open your profile and request more, and let us know who you would like to invite.

Keep your own profile working for you

Visibility is the point, so make it count:

• Post your work. Profiles with fresh projects get looked at. Add a new project when you finish something, or revisit an older one and give it the images it deserves.
• Tell the story. A couple of sentences on your role and what you solved will do more than a perfect screenshot.
• Keep your details current. Your headline, location, and portfolio link are the first things a hiring team sees.
• Update us when you land. Marking yourself hired lets the whole community celebrate, and it shows hiring teams that Roster works.

Be a good neighbor

Roster is better when we show up for each other.

• Follow designers whose work you admire. You will see their new projects, and they will know someone is paying attention.
• Give a heart or a cheer. A quick "Well done" or "Hire this person!" takes seconds and can make someone's whole week.
• Share a project you love with your own network. A designer's work should travel further than their own feed.

Know of a job? Tell us

Spotted a great design role? Scroll to the bottom of the job board and suggest it. We read every suggestion and add the good ones for everyone to see. You can also send the job to someone you know who would be perfect for it.

Small things add up

Roster is growing because members like you keep showing up, sharing it, and cheering each other on. A designer who gets hired makes the community stronger. A hiring manager who joins makes it more useful. A friend you invite makes it more fun.

So this week, pick one: send an invite, post a project, follow a few people, or suggest a job. Thank you for helping Roster thrive.
