Vetted

Looking into someone's background via social media and other resources to confirm what they say is the truth. Paying attention to action rather than words.

He told me he had a lot of money. I vetted that loser. Turns out he was arrested for passing worthless bank checks and lives with his mama.

Vetting

Investigate someone thoroughly, especially in order to ensure that they are suitable for a job requiring secrecy, loyalty, or trustworthiness.

Derives from late 14th century Norway where you would investigate and check if a visitor was a vette (a supernatural being or troll) before letting them into your home.

The origin of the word is Proto-Germanic *wihti and is related to the german word "Wicht" and english "wight" and Old Norse ; «vǣt(t)r».

Robert is vetting Donald.

We should have vetted Donald before we hired him.
