Protocol Security Services are in 2022 actively recruiting private investigators in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. We are looking for talented investigators who want to build a career in the private investigation industry, who want an interesting job, flexible hours, and job security in a high-demand industry. Click here to apply.
Why join us?
Private investigation is an industry that can barely keep up with demand. We are in a period in Irish history where fraudulent insurance claims are at an all time high, which massively inflates premiums. In addition, many companies, big and small, are recognising the value that private investigation services provide.
As a private investigator working for PSS, you will have almost complete control over how you investigate the subject and you will be free to develop your own methods that will over time develop into a distinctive investigative style. Importantly, you will also choose your own hours, whether part-time or full-time. There are very few jobs that allow this degree of autonomy.
As a new agent, you will initially need to be acquainted with the work. PSS will train you if you are inexperienced, sometimes in a group of other recruits. You will work under our PSA license, which allows you to work as a private investigator in Ireland.
This job is very enjoyable to people who like working outdoors and in different places every day. If you like gathering evidence and making a case, this job is the more active counterpart of a career in law. Finally, if you are interested in occasionally taking part in a diverse range of joint covert operations, this may be the career for you.
