Sure: Back in 2008 EDA (Experian Decision Analytics) was looking to open a new R&D center - to compliment 6 others spread globally. I was pushing KL as a great place to do this. So..  we ended up with a new office of 120 pax for EDA R&D.
That has gone down well with the board, as they can see it's a great office, so they are now opening another R&D center for the Marketing Services division of about the same number of people.
In future there's talk of an even bigger office - but thats still all grey future.

Because of all this we needed to hire 120 pax in the first 1.5 yrs and now another 120 pax in the next 1.5 yrs.

Out of interest our hit rate on applicants is about 1:12, that is for every 12 pax I see we hire 1. I'd rather hire for quality than quantity - but that's another discussion.

Experian's consumer website is here: http://www.experian.com/ but that is very credit report focussed (UK/US)
You can get a better idea from the group site (http://www.experianplc.com/) or the EDA site (http://www.experian-da.com/).

I think that's enough selling on my part ;o) I didnt want to turn this into a recruitment thread, but you asked

Cheers everyone,
