5 Reasons To Hire A Female Private Investigator

The words “private investigator” might conjure up images of a grizzly middle-aged man in a trench-coat, but these days they’re just as likely to be a millennial in yoga pants or a mum with a pram.

For women, hiring a female private investigator has some unique advantages.

1. They can conduct surveillance without suspicion 

Whether it’s a yoga studio on the Gold Coast, a Sunshine Coast beach or a shopping centre in Brisbane, a woman is much more likely to be able to blend in, allowing them to conduct investigations with more discretion.

Female investigators may also have better access to certain locations, such as childcare facilities and schools, than their male counterparts.

It’s also much easier for women to change their appearance when conducting surveillance for multiple days where suspicions may start to arise.

2. People reveal more information to women

Female investigators are perceived as less threatening than male investigators which can make people more comfortable divulging important information, especially if they’ve had bad experiences with men. 

Males may also let down their guard and reveal more information to women as they perceive them as a less of a threat. 

3. More empathy and understanding

No one understands women like other women. Particularly if a case involves stalking, sexual harassment or child custody issues, a fellow women understands the unique challenges you’re going through.

This can make it much easier to discuss sensitive information, especially when it comes to deeply personal issues like infidelity.

4. They’re better at reading vibes 

Chances are you or other women in your life have strong intuition - and that gut feeling is almost always right.

Women are often much better at reading body language and other subtle signs from people, allowing them to gain more information from situations than their male counterparts.

5. Women supporting women

Like many industries, men still dominate Australia’s private investigation services. 

Women often choose to employ female private investigators to support and empower other women in business.
