Research

It is always important to research a company before you arrive for an interview. Take time to review our company website to learn more about our solutions, clients, business culture and benefits. If you know anyone who works at Acxiom, talk to them about their experience.

Résumé

Your résumé is the most critical tool in the job search and interview process. Be sure to direct the content of your resume toward specific employment opportunities at Acxiom and to include key skills and experiences that directly show how your work and educational experiences are applicable.

Job Openings

Review our job postings that match your skill set and take an active role submitting your resume for positions that interest you. When you talk to a member of our recruiting team, ask specific questions about the skill and experience requirements of the job opportunities you are considering.

Dress

Although Acxiom supports a corporate culture with business casual attire, we recommend wearing a business suit or other business attire to your interview. Keep in mind that all Acxiom associates interact with internal and external clients in person, online and by telephone.

Location and Directions

Acxiom has a number of building locations. Make sure you have the correct contact telephone number and directions to the Acxiom location where your interview will take place. If you are running late or your schedule changes, please contact a member of our recruiting team for assistance.

Self-Assessment

Applicants who are offered employment at Acxiom demonstrate they have researched our company and the job roles that interest them. They take the proper care and time to assess their skills against each opportunity and are prepared to share examples of individual and team project work experience that show how they have used their skills to contribute in previous jobs. While we encourage applicants to share examples of their work, please remember that most interviews are scheduled for approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

Interviews

Interviews for employment at Acxiom may take place in any of a few formats:

Telephone Interviews

At Acxiom, we use scheduled telephone interviews as a common method for contacting candidates. Our recruiters may set up a phone interview to discuss a specific position with a candidate or to ask basic screening questions that help our recruiters evaluate each candidate and match them to the job roles most appropriate for their skills. For candidates who live outside the state or country where the job opening exists, telephone interviews are common for individual leader and team interviews.

On-Campus Interviews

Our active college recruiting program takes our recruiters to a number of college campuses across the country, where we offer on-campus interviews for entry-level roles at Acxiom. For more information or dates for our on-campus interviews at your college or university, please contact your institution’s career services office.

In-Person Interviews

In-person interviews that take place at Acxiom locations around the world usually include one-on-one and team interviews. These allow applicants to meet the associates and leaders with whom they would work and to learn more about our working environment, culture and the roles and responsibilities of the job(s) for which they apply. Applicants who are successful in the interview process should expect to be invited for more than one on-site interview.

Please remember to relax and enjoy your interview. We want you to be successful and have a great experience!
