Georgia Collection Agency to Create 250 Jobs in Indiana

After a turbulent 2004, Grant County, IN residents on Tuesday received the second announcement in two days of a significant employer moving to Marion.

Georgia-based Titan Recovery Group will hire 250 full-time employees within 18 months for a call center it will open in the former Leath Furniture building downtown. That’s combined with 70 jobs Indianapolis-based Preferred Community Services Inc. plans to fill for a call center it will open in January.

The news provides some evidence of a recovery after years of harsh economic decline in the community as a total of 320 new jobs appear on Marion’s horizon.

“I cannot resist this place,” said Titan Managing Director Fred Howard. “I was born and raised in the country in North Carolina, and this feels like going home. You treated me like your family, and I want to tell you how much that means to me. It’s like stepping back in time, and I love it.”

Howard spoke after nearly a minute of applause from community leaders gathered for the announcement. He stood behind a banner that read “Titan Makes It Marion.”

Titan will renovate the Leath building in stages and plans to employ 75 to 100 workers within six months and 250 within 18 months, Howard said. Titan currently employs about 200 people in the Atlanta area.

A call center is a business in which employees take or make calls on behalf of clients. In the case of Titian, the business is involved in debt collection throughout the country.
