Report: FBI falls short in hiring, retaining intelligence analysts

The FBI fell "significantly short" of its goal for hiring intelligence analysts in 2004 and faces a surge of recently hired analysts leaving within the next five years, a new report says.

Additionally, the bureau lacks a formal strategy for retaining qualified intelligence analysts and has not determined the total number of analysts needed to meets its mission, the Justice Department's inspector general said in a report released this week.

"We believe that a formal requirements determination is necessary to properly size and allocate the FBI's analytical corps," the report concluded. "Further, a rationally based requirements determination would help support the FBI's budget requests, recruiting and hiring plans, and any necessary reallocation of analysts."

The 190-page report covered October 2001 to July 2004.

Yes. There was an ad for Intelligence Analysts only a week or two ago on Monster. I thought that was really strange they were advertising on that.
