CHERUB agents need to meet strict criteria for physical fitness and intelligence. They are usually orphans who do not have surviving aunts, uncles or grandparents (Exceptions can be made where a surviving relative is serving a long prison sentence, mentally incapable or barred from contacting their children by legal mechanism such as a restraining order).
Finding children who meet all these criteria, while simultaneously not advertising the fact that you are looking for them, has been a problem throughout the history of CHERUB.
The organisation has a long standing aim to increase the number of CHERUB agents from the present level of 280 to around 400.
At the end of 2008 a new measure was introduced to help with the recruitment problem. For the first time, the children of retired agents who are single parents, or who are married to another retired CHERUB, can be admitted as agents if their parents allow it.
Recruitment tests are carried out when a prospective agent first arrives on CHERUB campus.
All potential CHERUB agents are rigorously vetted. Only candidates with a high probability of qualification will be brought to CHERUB campus under sedation.
There are two categories of tests when potential recruits arrive on campus:
(1) For recruits aged under 10.
Potential red shirts undergo a detailed medical examination which typically lasts around three hours.
Strength, endurance, coordination, speed and eyesight are among the systems tested.
After the physical tests, recruits aged 8 or older are usually asked to sit a written exam. The intelligence of younger recruits is gauged through informal observation and play.
(2) Recruits aged 10-12 years
Recruits aged 10+ are expected to enter basic training within a few months of arriving on campus. After a medical examination they undergo a day long series series of challenges designed to test mind and body to the absolute limit.
Any kid who breaks down during this testing is highly unlikely to be able to last 100 days of basic training.
Customization
Recruitment tests are designed to explore a candidate's known strengths and weakness.
For example, a candidate who is scared of heights may be asked to jump from the highest point of the obstacle course.

While lessons are many cherub’s least favourite aspect of life on campus, the staff take pride in the fact that every pupil receives an education worthy of a top fee-paying school, despite the frequent interruptions caused by missions.
Every cherub is given a personal curriculum and pupils work in small groups that are based on ability rather than age. After a long mission, cherubs are usually assigned a personal tutor who helps them to catch up on missed work.
GCSE and A-level exams are taken whenever pupils are deemed able, irrespective of age. Most cherubs leave with four or more A-levels and over ninety per-cent go on to university.

While the ethics committee exists to ensure that no cherub is placed in excessive danger, some risk is inherent in the nature of every undercover mission.
Four cherubs have died on missions. Jason Lennox and Johan Urminski in 1954, Katherine Field in 1967 and Thomas Webb in 1982. The fact that there have been no deaths for over twenty years reflects the close scrutiny the ethics committee now puts every CHERUB mission under before it is approved.
There have been a few serious injuries to CHERUB agents over the sixty years the organisation has been in existence. However, injuries are more common on training exercises on campus than on undercover missions themselves.

Every CHERUB mission must be approved by the Ethics Committee. There are five committee members, none of whom had any links with CHERUB before they took up their posts.
Three members review each mission. Any mission that they deem dangerous, too complicated, of limited value, or capable of being performed by an adult will be rejected.
The committee also lays down guidelines for agents' behaviour. They allow agents to quit a mission at any point without being punished.
They also set rules on the levels of permitted criminal behaviour and what to do with the proceeds of crime. There may also be specific rules set for individual missions.

CHERUB agents are usually recruited between the ages of six and twelve years old. Occasional exceptions to this rule are made, usually where a prospective recruit has a younger sibling aged four or five.
Most CHERUB agents retire at age seventeen or eighteen. Some who grow up quickly and look older than their years may retire earlier. A few, who have been assigned to an unexpectedly lengthy mission, have served until they are nineteen or twenty years of age.
Retired CHERUB agents are strongly discouraged from entering the intelligence service or police force, as there is a chance that these jobs may bring them into contact with criminals they came into contact with when working undercover for CHERUB.
