Our service has been tailored from many years of experience and successful partnerships, and we rely on ongoing conversations, prompt case updates, and feedback to set the standard for Private Investigation Professional Services.

The Role

You will be learning and working alongside like minded individuals who are driven to grow professionally in the OSINT realm and succeed as a team with the ultimate goal of making us a dominant player in the Private Investigation space.

· OSINT Fundamentals: You must be familiar with basic OSINT tools and techniques. This includes a working knowledge of Google Dorks, navigating popular social media websites (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.), and standard digital footprinting methods with familiarity with web based OSINT tools, bonus points for self hosted tools and basic coding understanding (not required but an advantage)

· Reporting Precision: Proficiency in Microsoft Word and the ability to perfectly mimic our current reporting style, phrasing, wording, and flow is required. Your findings need to blend seamlessly into our established client deliverables.

· Time Management: You must be highly dependable and strictly adhere to provided report deadlines.

· Future Growth: This position is an entry-level, as-needed contract role designed to help us expand our OSINT department, but we anticipate growing our staff further in the future.
