• Verify identity documents, licenses, and certifications using government and proprietary databases.
• Interpret and summarize findings in professional investigative reports that meet federal and state regulations.
• Collaborate with a virtual team of analysts, legal counsel, and account managers via Slack, Zoom, and our secure case‑management platform.

• Excellent written communication skills; ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable reports.
• High‑speed internet connection (minimum 25 Mbps download, 5 Mbps upload) and a dedicated, quiet workspace.
• Knowledge of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) guidelines, and state‑specific screening regulations.
• Certified Professional Background Investigator (CPBI) or similar credential is a plus, but not mandatory.
• Self‑motivated, detail‑focused, and comfortable working independently while meeting tight deadlines.

Benefits

• Fully remote – work from any U.S. state; flexible hours to fit your lifestyle.
• Competitive base salary with performance‑based quarterly bonuses.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
• 401(k) plan with company match up to 4%.
• Paid time off, sick days, and paid holidays.
