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

    Following as well. Almost none of our organziations (we're a consortium) use Tessitura for any volunteer management, although I keep hoping we'll dive in soon. 

    I think (but have not tried yet, see above note re: diving in) that you could use rankings to restrict volunteer access to certain positions, assuming those positions are set up as performances. You could put the "must pass background" performances in a mode of sale that only the volunteers who have a successful background check (and appropriate ranking to indicate that) could access those positions.
