Short answer
What results did SitReady get with SafestHires?
SitReady selected SafestHires for contractor-paid background screening for its in-home childcare marketplace. The program combines customizable criminal-history and sex-offender-registry searches with platform integration capabilities to support sitter onboarding and the marketplace’s affordability goals.
SitReady is an independent contractor marketplace connecting families with babysitters. It selected SafestHires to provide a customizable background-screening program that fits its in-home childcare model and sitter onboarding needs.
The Challenge: Screening for an In-Home Childcare Marketplace
SitReady wanted a background-screening partner for sitters who provide childcare in families’ homes. Its priorities included an accessible onboarding experience, customizable searches and economical pricing.
SitReady also wanted a screening arrangement in which the marketplace requests the background check and sitters pay for their own checks, rather than the marketplace absorbing the screening costs.
The SafestHires Solution
SafestHires provides a screening program tailored to SitReady’s marketplace, combining contractor-paid screening, customizable criminal-history and sex-offender-registry searches, and technology capable of connecting screening to SitReady’s platform and onboarding process.
The search mix can be customized to SitReady’s needs, giving the marketplace flexibility to shape its screening program around its sitter onboarding process.
Platform Integration and Sitter Onboarding
SitReady wanted screening to fit its existing platform and the steps sitters take to join the marketplace. SafestHires’ flexible integration capabilities support that goal by offering ways to connect background screening with the sitter onboarding process.
The Outcome: A Screening Program Aligned With the Marketplace
SitReady found a screening solution aligned with its contractor-paid model, onboarding needs and affordability goals. With SafestHires, the marketplace has a customizable screening resource to support its sitter onboarding experience.
