The Substitute Pool jobs and careers

About The Substitute Pool

Built by orchestral professionals who understand the system from the inside. The Sub Pool is the first searchable database designed to support substitute and short term hiring across North American orchestras and festivals. Traditional hiring often depends on who you already know. We believe visibility should not be limited to existing circles. Founded by Thomas Zera, longtime Utah Symphony bassist with deep orchestral and administrative insight, and Carrie Marcantonio, an experienced Personnel Manager, The Sub Pool was created to solve a problem they have both experienced firsthand from opposite sides of the hiring process. The platform gives Personnel Managers structured access to qualified musicians while giving artists a professional, credible place to present their experience, credentials, and availability clearly. Searchable musicians. Immediate visibility. Faster hiring. Revolutionizing the process of short term musician hiring.
