Why Our Process Goes Beyond a Standard Background Check
Our Process
At Aurelius Private Vetting Services, we offer a level of screening that far exceeds what traditional background checks can provide. Standard checks rely heavily on automated databases, delivering only a limited snapshot of an applicant’s history. Our approach is different. We combine precise digital review with meaningful real-world verification to create a complete and reliable profile of the individual you may bring into your home, estate, business, or organization. As part of this process, we utilize a custom-designed lifestyle questionnaire developed by Aurelius to capture essential information about the applicant’s residences, employment, education, personal references, criminal history disclosures, and substance-use acknowledgments. These questions help us identify inconsistencies, understand context, and gain a well-rounded view of the applicant’s background, conduct, and decision-making.
What distinguishes Aurelius is our commitment to both online and in-person evaluation. Applicants meet with us for a structured, in-person interview where we verify identity, assess professionalism, and clarify any discrepancies uncovered through their questionnaire or background findings. Before this step, applicants must provide informed consent for the vetting process—ensuring full transparency and compliance. We then review their questionnaire responses alongside verified background information before scheduling employment, reference, and education checks. This additional layer of confirmation ensures that every detail is accurate, consistent, and ethically obtained. The result is a complete, trustworthy assessment that gives families, estates, and private employers the confidence to make safe and informed hiring decisions.
