How SafestHires Serves YMCAs: Packages, Pricing and Custom Screening by Role

SafestHires currently serves the Greater Wichita YMCA and the Rockland County YMCA, and we continue to expand to additional YMCAs. Each YMCA is an independent, locally governed association, so each one chooses its own screening provider and its own package. The story of our work with the Greater Wichita YMCA is in our YMCA case study.

The package most YMCAs use

The package that most YMCAs use with SafestHires costs $25.50 and includes:

• SSN Address Trace
• 7 Year County Criminal
• Nationwide Criminal Database with 50-State Sex Offender Registries
• Federal Criminal History

What each search covers

The SSN Address Trace uses identifying information associated with the candidate's Social Security number to develop address history and associated names, primarily to identify the jurisdictions that should be searched for criminal records. It is not itself a criminal-record search.

The 7 Year County Criminal search checks county court records for felony and misdemeanor cases covering the past seven years. County searches are generally considered the primary court-of-record criminal search.

The Nationwide Criminal Database with 50-State Sex Offender Registries checks a large multi-jurisdictional database of criminal-record information, plus sex-offender registry information across all 50 states. Potential records are verified at the originating court or authoritative source before being reported for employment purposes.

The Federal Criminal History covers U.S. federal district court records for cases prosecuted under federal law rather than state law, such as fraud, embezzlement and federal drug offenses.

Modify the package, or use more than one

The $25.50 package is a starting point, not a requirement. A YMCA can modify it by adding or removing searches, or set up more than one package, each with different searches customized to a different position type.

For example, a YMCA might keep the standard package for front-desk and fitness staff, add a motor vehicle report for staff who drive vans or buses, add state abuse registry searches where available for childcare and camp roles, and add employment or education verifications for leadership and finance positions. Each package is then available to order by name, so hiring managers pick the right one for the role.

Customized reference checks are another option. In our Greater Wichita YMCA case study, reference questions were tailored to youth-serving roles at no extra cost.
