Teleperformance, a call center operator, said it’s looking for 500 new employees, including at a unit in Augusta, to help handle calls for aid from people affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Salt Lake City-based Teleperformance said immediate openings are available at its offices in Augusta; Sandy, Utah; and Dallas and Edinburg, Texas.

The temporary jobs, to help families and individuals seeking help from federal relief programs, are expected to last one to four months.
