• Do you consent to receiving text messages though our Applicant Tracking System, ICIMS, from our Human Resources team for updates or questions regarding your application or employment status?

All individuals hired by the YMCA of Greater Seattle must complete a background check (and on safety-sensitive driving positions, drug tests) as part of the post-offer onboarding process. Criminal backgrounds will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis; a positive drug test result (including marijuana) for any safety-sensitive positions requiring driving will likely result in the withdrawal of a job offer.

• Please note that background check turnaround time can vary by jurisdiction: Background check results for King and Pierce counties typically return within 1-2 days.

However, your start date may have to be pushed back by days or weeks as we wait for the background check to clear if you recently lived abroad or in a smaller county that may have more limited resources for digitizing and making records available online.
