UK looks for spies in trendy neighborhoods
At the last G20 summit, David Cameron promised to hire 1,900 undercover agents for MI5 , MI6 and GCHQ. An intelligence agency’s hiring process is presumably far from conventional. Proof of this is GCHQ ‘s initiative, which has painted street ads at hotspots in the UK, such as in Shoreditch, where there are many digital start-ups. The ad reads: «GCHQ? Technical Opportunities at gchq-careers.co.uk.» The words also appeared in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Wolver Hampton.
