Harte Hanks to add 250 jobs at Austin call center

AUSTIN – Harte Hanks, a San Antonio-based direct marketing firm, plans to add 250 jobs to its workforce of 800 at its Austin call center office on Wells Branch Pkwy.

That expansion will come as Harte Hanks adds client programs and shifts toward seasonal campaigns that require more personnel.

The company will likely have to take more space in its current office building just east of the Mopac Expressway if it grows its workforce by more than 25 percent, according to Craig Johnston, Harte Hanks’ director of operations.

There are currently no plans for a second Harte Hanks location in Austin, but continued growth in 2015 and beyond could make such a move necessary, according to Johnston.

The company’s clients are typically Fortune 100 companies in industries such as electronics, cellphones, health care logistics and higher education.
