Job Description

DigiStream Investigations is a rapidly expanding national private investigation firm headquartered in Elk Grove, California. Known for its dedication to uncovering truthful evidence, DigiStream has built a stellar reputation in the investigation industry by providing top-tier services mainly targeting cases of worker's compensation fraud. As a firm, DigiStream places a strong emphasis on innovative investigative techniques, state-of-the-art equipment, and thorough client collaboration to ensure the best possible outcomes in legal and insurance matters. Their business model supports ambitious individuals who are keen to develop skills in surveillance, legal compliance, and investigative tactics, aiming ultimately to foster careers in various security, law enforcement, or investigative fields nationwide.

Positioned in the greater Sacramento region, the role of Private Investigator with DigiStream offers an adventurous and dynamic career path, far removed from traditional desk jobs. This full-time role requires individuals with a passionate and curious mindset, ready to engage in covert activities such as surveillance, video documentation, and detailed reporting that directly impacts the defense of fraudulent worker's compensation claims. Employees are outfitted with company vehicles and advanced surveillance equipment to conduct investigations efficiently and with autonomy. This role demands dedication to irregular hours, including early mornings and evenings, as well as the flexibility to work weekends and holidays. Employees receive comprehensive training derived from over two decades of agency experience, assuring that investigators are well-equipped to excel and grow within the company. Furthermore, DigiStream supports career progression through a clearly defined surveillance investigator promotion track, allowing motivated individuals to advance their professional status and expertise within the industry.

Employment with DigiStream is enriched with several benefits highlighting their commitment to employee welfare and job satisfaction. The company offers competitive entry-level pay starting at $20 per hour with additional overtime opportunities that significantly increase earning potential. The allowance of paid travel time while commuting ensures investigators are compensated fairly beyond active investigative duties. DigiStream's benefits package covers health, dental, vision, and life insurance, complemented by a 401(k) retirement plan featuring a 4% company match, underscoring their long-term investment in employee financial health. Practical benefits such as company-provided equipment, fuel cards, and a late-model surveillance vehicle further enhance the working experience and operational efficiency.

Joining DigiStream means stepping into a role where no two days are the same—investigators might follow subjects to grocery stores, sports events, or even remote locations for extended surveillance assignments. The role is physically demanding and mentally stimulating, requiring detailed observation skills and the ability to remain discreet over prolonged periods. For those eager to pursue careers in FBI, law enforcement, legal fields, corporate security, or investigative journalism, this position provides an unmatched training ground and stepping stone. DigiStream seeks proactive individuals who meet the rigorous job requirements and are enthusiastic about contributing meaningfully to the investigative process while enjoying a rewarding and ever-evolving career.
