Company to open Lincoln call center, hire 200 people

27 Oct 2017

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. "We feel Lincoln is the right place to not only help in the growth of our company but be part of a growing progressive community.”

Dr. Leonard's, a catalog and online retailer that also is based in New Jersey, announced earlier this year that it would close its Lincoln call center as part of a consolidation, costing 170 people their jobs.

Spaeth said in an interview that the availability of the Dr. Leonard's site was a "bonus" but not the reason iPacesetters decided to open a location in Lincoln.
