The year we became a resource to the local church
Services ran by our worship leaders each year
Clients trusting WSN for help
Worship & tech team members on our roster
Each team member is required to fill out a WSN application, send a try out video, and give three references of pastors/worship leaders/elders that they’ve worked with in the past. After considering the information and following up with references WSN may or may not decide to move forward with the applicant. If we do bring the applicant onto the WSN team they are put through a final background check and graded on skill, communication, and personality metrics that we’ll use to match them with the right opportunities.
Yes and No. One of the biggest factors in determining who WSN can send is availability. If a church has a team member preference listed in their request and that team members available, they’ll be there! If they’re not available, we’ll send another qualified team member!
No, WSN has been around since 2014, and in our early years, we allowed churches to flip through our library to determine who they wanted. Often, by the time they made a decision, we had already booked the person elsewhere, which led to bottlenecks and made it challenging for us to serve effectively.
Additionally, we found that more than half of our team members don’t have high-quality tryout videos. While WSN knows what to look for when vetting our team, sometimes our clients couldn’t get past the video quality.
There are a few other reasons, but those are the main ones. Ultimately, within our first year, we switched to our current system, where any church can hire us. We use the churches profile and our AWESOME metrics system to match a great team member with your church. Today, it’s rare that we encounter an unsatisfied customer.
A few things to note:
If there are extra metrics beyond the questions we ask that you’d like us to consider when matching team members to your church, feel free to share that directly with us, and we’ll take it into account when booking.
While we find that some churches may have hesitations when using us for the first time, it’s rare that we don’t meet our expectations of excellence. If you’re still looking for something different and would prefer to see/hear the person we book for you before we send them, unfortunately, we don’t offer that service, and we may not be the right fit for you.
WSN requires a card on file that we will use to run the payment each time WSN has booked a team member for the clients project. We do not take cash, check, or anything else at this time.
PLEASE Request at W9 from WSN directly. Please do not request any W9’s from WSN team members. WSN is a LLC that provides services to our clients with team members that contract directly to WSN. That means we are responsible for sending our team members tax documentation that corresponds with what we’ve paid them throughout the year.
Yes, WSN is in compliance with national tax law and sends each team member the proper tax documents.
No and Yes. Direct solicitation of WSN team contractors is not permitted, as outlined in our Client Terms of Service, which all churches and their representatives agree to upon each service request. However, we have a solution! WSN’s Team Contract Buyout process is designed to facilitate hiring in a way that respects our team, clients, and our organization, with three key objectives:
To explore hiring one of our team members for a role at your church, please reach out to your coordinator to begin the process!
WSN pays team members on Mondays each week. After a team member is sent on a project they’ll receive a “project check out” text which triggers the team members invoice to our payroll.
