The Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo) has called for Finnish citizens with intelligence and language skills in Russian or Chinese to consider a career in intelligence as they have released a press statement outlining the positions available. The agency is particularly looking for people who can speak less common languages like French or Spanish as well, indicating a need for diverse linguistic capabilities within their operations. New recruits will engage in both domestic and foreign operations, focusing on collecting information about threats to Finland's national security.

These roles involve working directly with Supo's human intelligence sources to gather critical information that could significantly enhance Finland's security. Supo emphasizes that operatives will operate at the forefront of intelligence operations, which is crucial for understanding and responding to potential risks. This recruitment drive not only aims to bolster national security but also encourages ordinary Finns to contribute to their country's safety by leveraging their linguistic talents.

However, Supo also cautions that human intelligence work is a long-term commitment that demands responsibility and dedication behind the scenes. The agency points out that the best candidates are typically approachable individuals who can establish rapport and effectively communicate with intelligence contacts. This initiative reflects Finland's proactive stance in ensuring its national security amid a changing global landscape.
