Hot job tip!
Farmers Insurance Group needs to hire 200 people for its new Olathe operation early next year, just as Capital One Home Loans will be cutting off paychecks for most of its 320 Overland Park employees.
Capital One told employees Thursday that it plans to shut down the Overland Park office because of the sharp downturn in housing. Most employees will run out of paychecks in early February.
Farmers Insurance will need to hire 70 people that month and up to 200 by the end of April, said Trudi Andernacht, human resources manager for the insurance company.
Andernacht said Farmers Insurance needs to fill 600 jobs in Olathe next year. That means there’s room for more than the dislodged Capital One crew.
The Farmers jobs include claims adjustment and customer service work on the phone.

Well, to be fair, Farmers is a mess...but some people without a job may find it tolerable. I'm not a fan of some of their management level employees that I have known for the past 18 years but I suppose they are working as best they can within that meat grinder. Best of luck.
