MI6 seeks recruits on Facebook
The Secret Intelligence Service, which has traditionally scoured the country’s elite universities for recruits, launched a series of online adverts this month as part of its attempts to attract people from a variety of backgrounds.”A number of public channels are used to promote job opportunities in the organisation and Facebook is a recent example of this,” said a Foreign Office spokeswoman. MI6 runs agents in foreign countries and says it wants its officers to “reflect the society” they serve.
Before 2006 most recruits joined after getting a tap on the shoulder while studying at a leading university.
