MI5 is Looking for a Few Good Geeks

Via ZDNet.co.uk -

Adverts will appear on buses and the London Underground as the UK security service seeks to raise its profile as an employer, especially for staff not traditionally associated with the service, such as IT professionals and mechanics, according to a report in the Financial Times.

The security service is looking to recruit a number of IT staff according to ads posted on its website.

One advert reads: "So technology-reliant is our work that IT in all its forms is absolutely central, not peripheral, to our business. For a first-rate second-line support environment that asks more of your team and interpersonal skills, you now know where to come — right to the heart of MI5."

MI5 said this is a "demanding time" for the service, with new systems being developed, new teams being set up and new ways of working being rolled out.
