FBI plans large hiring blitz of agents, experts
Wanted by the FBI: agents, language specialists, computer experts, intelligence analysts and finance experts.
The FBI said on Monday it had launched one of the largest hiring blitzes in its 100-year history involving 2,100 professional staff vacancies and 850 special agents aimed at filling its most critical vacancies.
The agency, which seeks to protect the United States from terrorist attack, fight crime and catch spies, among other duties, said it currently has more than 12,800 agents and about 18,400 other employees.
Since the Sept 11, 2001, attacks, the FBI has been criticized for not having enough employees fluent in foreign languages and for not moving fast enough to upgrade its computer system.
FBI Assistant Director John Raucci of the Human Resources division said the federal law enforcement agency is seeking to bring more people on board with skills in critical areas, especially language fluency and computer science.
"We're also looking for professionals in a wide variety of fields who have a deep desire to help protect our nation from terrorists, spies, and others who wish us harm," Raucci said.
He said the FBI, which has been investigating corporate wrongdoing in connection with the current financial crisis, also needs finance and accounting experts, along with those skilled in physical surveillance and various other employees.
The hiring initiative for FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., and for its field offices would replace departed staff and add some employees, officials said.
FBI“通緝令”：特工、語言專家、電腦專家、情報分析員和財經專家。
美國聯邦調查局於本週一宣佈，該機構日前啓動了其100年曆史上規模最大的一次招聘行動，此次招聘的職位包括2100名專業人士和850名特工，填補最關鍵崗位的空缺。
FBI的主要職責是保護美國免受恐怖主義襲擊、打擊犯罪以及抓捕間諜等，目前該機構共有12800多名特工以及18400名其他僱員。
2001年的“9•11”恐怖襲擊事件發生後，外界指責FBI缺乏外語人才以及電腦系統的更新速度緩慢。
FBI人力資源部副主任約翰•勞茨說，FBI計劃招收一批在“關鍵領域”有特長的人才，尤其是外語和計算機人才。
勞茨說：“同時我們需要衆多領域的專業人才，這些人必須要有強烈的願望保護美國免受恐怖分子、間諜和其他破壞分子的危害。”
他說，FBI現在正調查與金融危機有關的企業違規和犯罪案件，因此急需金融和會計領域的專家。此外，FBI還需要設施監控等其它領域的專業人士。
此次招聘的範圍包括FBI駐華盛頓總部以及駐地方的各調查處，除補足以往的崗位空缺外，還將招收一些新人。
