about us: history

The word "deverus" comes from a mixture of Latin and Spanish and essentially means "from the truth." deverus was started with a fundamental belief that by asking the right questions about our clients' wants and needs, a certain truth will arise. "From the truth" we will work to bring together the right resources and strategies to help our customers compete successfully in an increasingly complex, rapidly changing marketplace. 



Founded on October of 1997, deverus headquarters is located on the historic West 6th Street in downtown Austin, Texas. We help the emerging leaders in the background check industry diversify, compete and grow.

Our customers represent the emerging leaders in the background check industry. Clients typically fit in the mid-size classification and possess unique competitive advantages that deverus can enhance to help them win in the marketplace.
