Background Investigation Jobs
567,777 open positions · Updated daily
Background Investigation positions are experiencing a surge as companies tighten compliance and data security. The defense, aviation, healthcare, and fintech sectors now require rigorous background checks to meet regulatory mandates and protect critical assets. This demand fuels rapid hiring, offering professionals a chance to work on high-impact projects and stay ahead of evolving threats.
Roles span from investigator, analyst, and compliance officer to field officer and digital forensic specialist. Typical duties include gathering public and proprietary records, conducting interviews, verifying credentials, and leveraging tools such as LexisNexis, Accuity, Palantir, and OSINT platforms like Maltego. Analysts also apply risk scoring models and generate actionable reports for hiring managers or security teams.
Salary transparency is vital because background investigators deal with sensitive data and high-stakes decisions. Clear pay ranges help attract talent with niche skills, benchmark against cybersecurity or risk management roles, and ensure fair compensation for the rigorous training required, such as CBSP or CISA certifications.
