to develop world-class recruitment service

FT Jobs & Education, FT.comís recruitment channel has announced that it has teamed up with Global Beach, the leading software application developer and fully adaptive managed services provider, to give a new improved service for job seekers on FT.com.

The service, built on Global Beachís proven KeycastTM technology platform, is fast, efficient and effective.

This both enhances the user experience and adds continuity between Financial Times and FT.com.

Recruiters also benefit from the service and can now access the Jobs & Education channel and have instant access to post, edit and manage job postings, as well as allowing them to accurately monitor the progress of their advertisements on line.

Natasha Kyndt, Recruitment Advertising Manager for the Financial Times commented: ìWe want to make FT.com the first place visited by both recruiters and job seekers. Global Beach enables us to provide our customers with a functional, manageable and robust streamlined service.î

Clive Jackson, CEO of Global Beach Group said: ìOur managed services platform is industry and brand agnostic and this allows us to offer performance advantages when developing sites and services. We have been able to swiftly repurpose our IP to deliver measurable benefits for FT.com. This is a smart, affordable, on demand solution and we are proud that Global Beach is now associated with a brand as strong as the FT.î
