What is Sporcle Events?

You might know about our totally addicting website at sporcle.com. Sporcle Events presents the best bar trivia around and we are looking for people to host in-person events at bars and restaurants!

What does a trivia host do?

Every week – the same day and time – we want you to be Alex Trebek with flair!

You’ll receive paid training to learn how to deliver a fun weekly event at our partner venues. Events last approximately 3 hours. Our hosts interact with trivia players, venue staff and management, and our Host Management Team with the goal of building and maintaining a solid, well-attended trivia event.

You should be able to multi-task, deliver game content, score players’ responses, play music, make a few jokes here and there, and make it all seem effortless.

We’re asking for at least a 6-month commitment, though there are hosts who have been at their venues for years.

Note: We do not offer seasonal/summer employment.

I’m interested and can commit for at least 6 months. What’s next?

To apply, visit https://www.sporcle.com/jobs/trivia-host/. Once your application is complete, we’ll email a link to our HireVue interview.

What's a HireVue?

Is HireVue mandatory?

Yes. It gives you a chance to show us your personality and it allows us to get to know you in 3-D. It's also flexible and you can complete it at your convenience! We only ask that you complete the HireVue within 3 days of your application.

What happens after the HireVue?

If we think you’re a good fit for the job, one of our recruiters will call to discuss the job in more detail.
