Discovery with TA

One of the most exciting stages.

Have an exploratory chat with an experienced and passionate Experian Talent Acquisition team member. This is a great opportunity to check alignment, discuss our process and timelines, and get answers to any questions you have about Experian, the team, the role etc

Assessments / Interviews

At Experian we use a variety of assessment types, customised to best fit the role in question, so that both parties can check there's a fit in terms of skillset, 'culture add' and value alignment. Each stage is designed to be as value adding as possible to both you and the hiring manager.

Typically our process would include one or two of the following (in varying orders):

Formal Interview(s)*
Informal Interviews / coffee catch ups
Online assessments (normally for technical skill based roles)
Assessment Centers
Team 'meet and greets' (when appropriate)
Role plays / work samples

Ultimately we're looking to ensure you can make an informed decision should you receive a formal offer from Experian; that you've had sufficient exposure to our culture and that you have a deep understanding of what the role entails.

Offer

Receiving an offer is always a big buzz. You'll be sent an easy to use secure link to review any formal offer and employment details.

As a Global Enterprise we apply rigour and fairness/equity to our offer methodology, normally facilitated with HR support. Our aim is to provide a competitive role and full compensation package. To do this we analyse several important data points; current salary (if voluntarily shared), expected salary, internal comparable benchmarking and external market benchmarking.

There's a strong focus on 'setting you up for success', whether this is providing professional guidance on 'how to resign the right way' or arranging casual connects virtually or in person with team members, providing pre-start materials and info. We're happy to dial this up or down based on your needs and expectations.
