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“通缉令”：特工、语言专家、电脑专家、情报分析员和财经专家一个也不能少。

美国联邦调查局于本周一宣布，该机构日前启动了其100年历史上规模最大的一次招聘行动，此次招聘的职位包括2100名专业人士和850名特工，填补最关键岗位的空缺。

FBI的主要职责是保护美国免受恐怖主义袭击、打击犯罪以及抓捕间谍等，目前该机构共有12800多名特工以及18400名其他雇员。

2001年的“9•11”恐怖袭击事件发生后，外界指责FBI缺乏外语人才以及电脑系统的更新速度缓慢。

FBI人力资源部副主任约翰•劳茨说，FBI计划招收一批在“关键领域”有特长的人才，尤其是外语和计算机人才。

劳茨说：“同时我们需要众多领域的专业人才，这些人必须要有强烈的愿望保护美国免受恐怖分子、间谍和其他破坏分子的危害。”

他说，FBI现在正调查与金融危机有关的企业违规和犯罪案件，因此急需金融和会计领域的专家。此外，FBI还需要设施监控等其它领域的专业人士。

此次招聘的范围包括FBI驻华盛顿总部以及驻地方的各调查处，除补足以往的岗位空缺外，还将招收一些新人。
