Background Investigator Resume
It is necessary for employers, whether public or private, to know about people they are hiring and will be working with. For they cannot judge a person by mere looks and information provided on the resume. Thus, employers hire background investigators who work with the human resources department and gather information about employees. The information could be related to social, criminal, credit rating, etc. As such, the background investigators are expected to hold a wide knowledge of diverse field, especially specific laws and business practices.
As technology is the most reliable tool used in finding about employees, the background investigator must be technically sound with proficiency in using computers. In addition, a degree in criminal justice, business administration, or human resource is also essential.
