Our Approach

People often ask us – what is your approach to understanding the background check industry and process? How do you differ from other consultants?

Curiosity

One of our fundamental assets is our insatiable curiosity for uncovering attainable goals, possible strategies, resources, and a flawless plan to execute. We ask questions like:

• Where do you want to go?
• Why is this important to your long-term vision?
• What will the end goal look like?
• What is stopping you from getting there now?
• How can you get there using your existing resources?
• What additional resources will you need?

Listening for weak signals

The questions are easy to ask, but it is deverus‘ unparalleled listening capabilities that help you explore those questions, uncover hidden interferences, and ultimately develop the right plan for moving forward. We are well-practiced in the art of listening to what we call "weak signals," which essentially means hearing the barely audible whispers of possible problems and advantages before they even become clear to others.

Design strategies

Given increased competition from new companies entering the market as well as the largest background check companies finding new ways to grow, developing the right strategy to achieve objectives in the background check market is crucial to long term success. Losing a few customers to competitors, falling behind on the latest technology, or a misguided project can set a company on a downward spiral that may make the difference between ultimately being an A or a C player in the industry.

How can our approach help design the right strategy? deverus has a secret process for uncovering business strategies. Once the business strategies are fleshed out, realistic and achievable initiatives are developed. deverus also has processes for quickly evaluating and validating the right initiatives to make strategies successful. Once the process is in place, the right directional decisions can be made quickly and effectively.

Align resources

Are your high-value projects suffering because resources are invested in low-value activities? These days doing more with less is standard operating procedure. Yet too often resources are wasted on projects or one-off requests instead of being aligned with top priorities and long-term goals. deverus‘ special approach helps clients align the right people and resources with strategy to gain maximum impact.

Maximum impact execution

Execution is a discipline. Without execution, having a great idea, the right strategy or the best resources available is useless. For deverus, execution is also a system process of rigorously discussing the how‘s and what‘s of the things that will get done. deverus prides itself on maximum impact execution. This means the ability to take a strategy and deliver flawlessly, taking advantage of the full benefits the opportunity has to offer. We work with our clients to put a process in place to make sure things get done, goals are achieved and results are plentiful.
