Nielsen to Hire for Dallas and San Antonio Call Centers

July 11 2014

Nielsen is planning to recruit more than 500 employees for its Dallas call center, which was previously owned by radio ratings giant Arbitron (now Nielsen Audio); and 200 staff for its call center in San Antonio, which is being expanded to accommodate them.

Nielsen is firing in some places, hiring in others post-merger with Arbitron...Nielsen Audio was created following Nielsen's $1.26 billion acquisition of Arbitron last September. To accommodate the new arrivals, the firm is now adding about 18,000 square feet at the existing premises in Dallas, and 16,000 at its Alamo City, San Antonio operation.

Earlier this year, Nielsen closed its call center operations in Columbia, Maryland, with the loss of 325 jobs; and in Radcliff, Kentucky, shedding 237, as part of the integration of Nielsen Audio into the group.
