Entry Level Investigator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level investigator job?
Entry level investigator roles typically look for candidates with a degree in criminal justice, business, finance, or a related field, though internship experience or relevant coursework can substitute for a formal credential. Employers at this stage prioritize attention to detail, report-writing ability, and familiarity with research tools. Certifications in fraud examination or background screening give candidates a concrete edge over other new applicants.

Companies hiring entry level investigators right now include Allied Universal Compliance and Investigations, NYC Health + Hospitals, and Island Peer Review Organization, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of employers, including insurance carriers, financial institutions, government contractors, retail loss prevention operations, and private investigation firms.

About 28% of entry level investigator openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with remote work more common in insurance claims review, fraud analysis, and compliance-focused roles that rely on database research rather than in-person interviews or site visits.
Are these new grad investigator jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior investigator roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or college practicums in place of full-time work history, or lists a portfolio of casework as an acceptable credential. If the posting does not require prior employment, it fits the new grad category.
