Britain's overseas security service, MI6, has started advertising for new agents on the popular social networking site, Facebook.
The intelligence service has been using newspaper and radio advertising for two years – they think Facebook will appeal to a larger variety of people.
"The open recruitment campaign continues to target wide pools of talent representative of British society today," a Foreign Office spokeswoman told AFP.
"A number of channels are used to promote job opportunities in the organisation. Facebook is a recent example."
The adverts have been on facebook for a few weeks now – it’s not known if they have been effective.
