State Farm Expanding Presence in Metro Atlanta
Home and auto insurance company State Farm plans to hire about 800 people throughout metro Atlanta.
The insurance giant has openings in claims, service and sales support.
“We’re looking for folks that are bilingual in Spanish for some of these positions. The majority of the jobs are going to be entry-level positions, however the hiring is going to include some professional and technical positions,” says spokesman Justin Tomczak.
State Farm is expanding its presence in metro Atlanta. WABE's John Lorinc reports.
To help with the process State Farm is holding a job fair at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter on Concourse Parkway next week.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports State Farm may have plans to shut down operations in some other states and bring those jobs to metro Atlanta.
When asked about expansion plans, Tomczak could not confirm the report.
“We are growing our presence here in the Atlanta area, which is exciting. The company is the largest home and auto insurer in the state,” he says.
State Farm hopes to have the positions filled within the next six-months.
