Not meeting the PI in person
Treat the PI like a person because he is a human. And just like you are, they have flaws that they didn’t state in your CV. It might be helpful to meet together and assess who you are dealing with. Ask a lot of open-ended questions so that you can tap into what they think and how they come to decisions. This means that you will have a rough idea of how they work and whether they might be someone you would like them to be in your team.
Remember, your money is on the line. So, don’t hesitate too long at their body language and non-verbal cues. Be like a hunter and look for the slightest hint of hesitation. This will help you pick up first-hand information on the private investigator. From this point, you can make a decision on whether they will be able to handle the work or not.
Looking for cheap PI
The world is not an equal and fair place. This means that although many people are labeled as PI, not all of them stand a chance of delivering at the level that you want. There is a good reason why some of those PI’s charge such a low fee. It’s because they are communicating to you something: I’m not that experienced or a guarantee, but you can give me the job anyway. This is dangerous.
Although this is what the majority does, it might be a huge risk. It is hard to find quality among the averages, and if you do, consider yourself the luckiest in the world.
In the field, a private investigator cost ranges between $100 to 200 dollars. Keep this in mind when selecting your PI.
Unlicensed PI
Having someone who is not under registry is the worst mistake you could ever do. First, this person is not a professional and will deal with your job lightly. Secondly, you will not have any way of holding them responsible if you get in legal trouble. So, avoid this as much as possible.
