Recruitment Tool

Cool.

The Israeli secret service has launched a new venture: it has started to carry an internet diary, or blog, written by four of its agents.

The agents discuss how they were recruited, and what sort of work they perform; they also answer questions sent in by members of the public.

The tone of the blog is chatty, at times even facetious.

The blogs are intended to draw members of the public into other areas of the Shin Bet website - in particular the recruitment section.

Some of the positions are advertised with a red star and the slogan “hot job”.

There is the opportunity to work on what are described as “irregular missions”; to work on one’s own; and to acquire a variety of “special skills”.
