Most Retailers have a Loss Prevention, Profit Protection or Security Department. The type of work carried out by these functions varies from retailer to retailer, therefore the skill sets and personal profiles sought by recruiters varies widely.
The root cause of stockloss and shrinkage tends to be split 3 ways; External Theft (shoplifting), Internal Theft and Fraud, and Process Error. The loss prevention function tends to be structured to address loss profile of the retailer. In store chain which suffer from a high degree of serious and organised crime externally, the focus may be on a plain clothes detection and apprehension strategy involving in house plain clothes store detectives or store based loss prevention investigators. Other retailers may have a problem with internal fraud and therefore may recruit expert investigators with a focus on data mining and interview techniques. Where losses are caused by poor adherence to process, recruitment tends to focus on loss prevention audit, compliance and training personnel.
The upturn in organised retail crime means that there are many in house single store loss prevention roles currently advertised.
