A New Jersey company plans to take over the former Dr. Leonard's Healthcare call center location and hire 200 people.

iPacesetters, which provides telemarketing services to Fortune 500 and other companies, plans to open its operation Nov. 6 at 5945 Cornhusker Highway.

The company said in a news release that it will hire 200 people for full- and part-time jobs.

“We are thrilled to bring new career opportunities to Lincoln and add to the growth of iPacesetters," Penny Spaeth, who is the Lincoln site director, said in the news release.
