FT Acquires Financial Recruitment Company |
04 Jan 2008 |
| The Financial Times has made a significant move towards securing online recruitment market leadership with the acquisition of leading online recruitment company, Exec-Appointments. Exec-Appointments is a well-established UK brand which focuses on the high-earning executive sector and has a major presence in online recruitment. With a successful core product (exec-appointments.com) - which focuses on senior management and which boasts the highest proportion of c-suite, director and senior manager visitors and highest average income visitors to any UK online job site – and two specialist products targeting MBAs and Non-Executive Directors, Exec-Appointments is an ideal vehicle through which the Financial Times can develop the non-print side of its recruitment business. Synergies between the two businesses made the choice of Exec-Appointments a clear winner. The Financial Times’ global presence, brand and strength in finance markets and jobs complements Exec-Appointments’ strength in non-finance jobs and products and its successful business provides not only a respected reputation and core clientele but also an established technology platform from which the new business can develop. FT Conferences will bring added impetus to Exec-Appointments’ specialist conference and seminar activity. |
