Recording Final Results of Volunteer Background Checks in Tess

Marie Kocher

Hello All,
 
Myself and my Manager of Volunteers and Events have a question around background checks.
We have some community volunteer positions like FOH help during our shows as well as volunteer positions available to help wrangle our students backstage who perform in our Nutcracker and other KCBallet School related positions. Generally, these are filled with parents of those students. We currently use Volgistics to schedule, manage and background check our volunteers; Volgistics integrates with VerifiedFirst for background checks.
We are exploring Resource Scheduling for our volunteer management, and want to take the pulse of how other orgs are doing and recording background checks. If you are doing background checks for your volunteers, are you using whatever company or program that your employer uses? Are you using and paying for a 3rd party like VerifiedFirst? How are you recording the legal and appropriate results and information into Tessitura that someone is good to go? Are you using an attribute? Are you using a custom volunteer screen? And then can that positive or negative information be linked so that volunteers can only see certain available positions and not others?
Thanks,

Marie

    I'm interested in following this conversation. I use resource scheduling for assigning docents to museum tours, but so far that is the only bit of volunteer management taking place in Tessitura in my organization. For the first time recently, we have also implemented background checks on our volunteers who work closely with children. None of this is recorded in Tessitura, but neither is a lot of other volunteer info for us, other than the docents. Our docent manager has the impression that our HR department is keeping very simple files on these the background checks being completed. We use Baker Street Associates, which I believe is the same for both our employees and volunteers.

    I'd be interested in hearing the pros and cons of using Tessitura for this purpose.
