In Reply to: Hate to disappoint you but I make over $46,000. - Hiring Manager
recruiting? You have been asked, but still do not answer. Fraud? I think so. Most recruiters are frauds. If you do indeed make that much, then from whom? And what do the MTs make?

Yet you have never once mentioned who you are a "hiring manager" for. LOL Fraud.

Same exact message a few weeks ago and poster is the manager trying to recruit.
Which is fine but you should really try to keep posting as the one person you are CMT-me. You make it appear that you have employees recommending you when in fact you are the one that is doing your own recruiting but you should not pose as another employee.
Make the right phone calls and report her

I guess I do ... well worth it for business, plus I make tons of LD calls to friends/family. nm

They make exceptions - talk to your manager
If you need assistance, e-mail me and I can help you as well.
Take note of "hiring spree" - be warned you will soon run sm
out of work and be working 10 hours a day every day of the week to get work. Yes, I have multiple accounts and will run out of work in a few months. They always assume they will be getting these big accounts and when they don't we are the ones who struggle.
that's who they recruit for and
possibly another company
Who do you recruit for?
If you don't mind sharing.
You recruit for what company? Why so shy?
x
Do you recruit MTs for Keystrokes or not?
They all post below, but not yet one of them will say what company they recruit for. What is sm
up with that? Does anyone wonder? LOL. I sure do.
Synthescribe has taken to another board to recruit
One of their employees is all over another board recruiting and getting 100 bucks per referral. Thats just pitiful.
Because recruiters get paid to recruit....SM
Would prefer to hear some opinions of those that have possibly already been there and done that. Thanks for your input. :)
Who does Louise Hancock recruit for? (on job-seek

I know I made over $60K as a QA manager. An MT manager
I am told is less money but definitely NOT as low as $36,500. I would not do it for $36,500.
The majority that I hear and see (and many are not advertised) are around $45K. You are giving yourself away for that. You might be working for a company that I received an offer from at one time. Great people but could not afford to work for that kind of money. Way too low to be on call 24/7.
I recruit for a company that has had ups and downs on this board and have some insight.
I attended MTIA a few weeks back and spoke with other recruiters and some established MTSOs and some just starting to build their MTSOs. What I learned is that most companies are alike in many ways, and most want to improve. The common factor was often that they want to do more for their employees but get slapped in the face too often by MT's who do not work when they are supposed to, do not produce what they commit to and think that they are better than they actually are but cannot take criticism of any sort. There are a lot of MTSOs who do not offshore, but they are frustrated by MT's who want more and more and give less and less. It's a catch 22 for them too, so maybe it's time for everyone to step back and reevaluate.
As a recruiter, I sometimes get 100 resumes a week. Most do not even get past that first contact and here is why:
When I get a resume that has a typo in it, I do not even acknowledge it. I shred it. I have learned that if someone cannot be accurate on their first impression, they will not be later on. You'd be surprised how many resumes and cover letters are full of obvious typos.
If we have a help wanted ad that specifies 2 years of experience required, half the resumes will be from students or those with no experience. They can be very demanding and rude at times, which is no way to treat a potential employer.
If we have a specific ad for hours and/or days, about 40% of the responses are for something completely different.
We now have auto reply for resumes but will probably get rid of that in the near future. Many applicants take the auto-reply as a sign that they are being considered even if they are not, especially the often very pushy offshore applicants, even though our ads say no offshore applicants will be accepted.
Another thing that I see far too often is that some applicants, right up front, demand certain days and hours and pay, no matter what our ad says.
Finally, here is the biggest turn off for me: Failure to follow instructions. Our ads always say that we do not accept attachments, to paste resumes into email. However, there will be days when every single email I receive has an attachment. I have now set it up to send emails with attachments to spam, which automatically empties each night. Those that go into spam do not get an auto-response. That's the way I set it up and it works well. Why should I respond to each one that blatantly ignores instructions? Again, if someone cannot follow instructions when applying, they most likely will not once employed.
There are a lot of wonderful, experienced, hard-working MT's in the U.S. who follow instructions, keep their word and take pride in producing quality reports. It takes a while for us to get the great employees but we keep sorting through junk to get to them, just as they have to sort through companies to eliminate the bad ones.
I have recruited for 4 different companies over the last 10 years. While they can be very different in many ways, most are pretty decent and want to treat their employees well, but they are getting burned out by being burned over and over again.
MTIA opened my eyes. If we do not start working together, the U.S. companies will start sending everything offshore where the employees want and need the work. The offshore companies were out in force and they are looking for ways to improve, which is scary. They WANT to take over, and we are giving them a lot of opportunity.
Don't let anyone fool you. AHDI and the big-wigs from the big companies are VERY friendly with the offshore companies. Their work is getting better and their prices are better and U.S. only companies might be phased out because of this. We need to take back our industry or offshore companies and VR are going to take it from us.
Polish your skills, make sure that your resume is perfect and be persistant.

I find that people who refuse to say who they recruit for are frauds. Nonsense.

I tried it, but it kept dropping my calls. nm
nm
Ah, so you are the reason I got so many calls
about my schedule and getting stats assigned to me allll day long!! LOL! You know who I am, basically in the same boat, and that I applaud them for the same understanding you described 
phone calls
Is anybody transcribing for Steve who had the 15,000+ 3-5 minute phone calls between docs and patients, I believe? Just wondering if your making good money or not? Thx
phone calls
Oh my God I am and no I'm not making good money. I wish I had never started this job!!!How many did you get? I got 500 and I have a full-time job?
well, what do you want...phone calls?
They have to get you when they need you somehow.
conference calls
I hate them, hate them, hate them.
I have worked a few places where conference calls were utilized and INVARIABLY they covered things that could easily have been covered in a memo, in a couple of paragraphs even, only the call would last half an hour to an hour. They were always a COMPLETE waste of time. Paid or not, they were just unbearable.
Conference calls
This just goes to show that not all things suit all people. As for me just give me the work and LEAVE ME ALONE! If there is something I'm doing wrong by all means tell me. One of my new accounts I WAS doing something wrong because I didn't understand how to attach a deficiency. I received a very nice e-mail telling me how it was done and I sent back one saying to let me know if I was still doing it wrong. Got back a very nice e-mail (from Q.A.) telling me to do #1, #2, #3. I got it. Nothing more needed. As for conference calls, I MIGHT tolerate one once a year, IMHO a total waste of my valuable time. I'm happy for you that you went back to your former employer, by all means BE HAPPY, whatever it takes.
No more calls, please. We have a winner.
nm
I thought in one of the calls they
said we would be staying on the accounts we are on with the same platform!? I must have totally misunderstood that... Did anyone else think that, too, or was it just me??
how do you get calls from "all over the country" sm
if you don't advertise or anything? Wow, you must be out of this world!
Has anyone that has posted your resume on here ever gotten any calls out of it or what should I
expect.
Poopy.. why don't you just tell the person that calls
that you already worked 40 hours for the week? Is that so hard?
LATE NIGHT CALLS
Call blocking instructions are in your phone book. These vary from company to company. Check you phone bill and see what numbers they are using (probably more than one line there). If this fails and they keep calling (imagine how many lines they actually have) then send them a formal letter stating your problem with their phone harrassment and the exact days and hours of their callsand cc it to all their clients. Maybe they are hurting for transcriptionists and hope you have changed your mind by now or that, gee, now that you're awake you might as well type? If anything, this should cure you of them forever and everyone who read your post will remember! I once had a friend (actually a really nice lady) who had a similar problem (although ot with SPi) that went on for a year. They woke up her kids and husband, her dog, her cat and she looked so bad from lack of uninterrupted sleep. That was in the olden days before caller ID and call blocking. She finally had another friend convince her to hand out THEIR numbers to car salesmen and insurance salesmen, etc. That was really harsh, but the calls she got soon stopped and it was apparent that because they stopped that all along they were consciously and deliberately calling her. Another tactic might be to change your phone number. Good luck.
Yes we got paid for conference calls
.
I always get paid for conference calls.

Well, we seem to get nothing but pladitudes on the conference calls, sm
so honestly, I was hoping to get some sort of info on here. There are a lot of DSGers who are upset and frustrated and could very well jump ship. Then they will have no one but newbies and what will that do to the TATs. I seems to me that a little honesty about what is going on and what is being done about it would go a long ways towards fostering loyalty. Of course, that is just my opinion.
Yeah, the recruiter calls me up,
calls me by my first name and starts chatting. (I wonder who on earth she is?) When I finally establish that she is an SGS recruiter and start asking serious questions she becomes rude and I tell her thank you but I really am not interested. Guess she forgot to go to charm school.
When I worked with her, she made calls
to people when there were backlogs to get more help. She used to ask me what she could do/offer me to get me to come onboard full-time, so I always figured she was in upper management in order to be able to offer that.
We find out how much of a pay cut on the calls tomorrow.
It'll go the way of the others, no more than 50%.
That explains my unanswered phone calls. nm

Not always an option; my supes don't want calls at either of my MTSOs. nm

Sounds a lot like the Webmedx conference calls.

The short answer is because we get the backlash from these. We get calls from MT's who sm
have had a bad experience somewhere and act like we owe them the world, even though we have never even talked them before. I don't lurk on this board. I come here for information and make posts and help on the word boards. I come to find out about changes such as new equipment and software and opinions on different software.
Perhaps we are all generalizing too much. My request would be for MT's to realize that all companies are not bad and while you may have a bad experience somewhere, it does not mean that you will have the same experience at my company.
Generalizing all Mom-and-Pops together is also not fair. Everyone has to start small and some of us plan on growing. Right now, I have 20 MT's but I want to double that or even triple that and I come here to find out the best ways to get and keep employees. It would be nice to ahve someone come to me and say that they are looking for a change without assuming we are going to be as bad as the company they just left.
Were their new venture capitalists, er, partners, on the calls?
Should be very interesting.
It took me 9 weeks and 2 phone calls to get my check.
I had to leave voice mails and no calls ever returned, but I finally got my check. I knew someone who was still waiting after 12 weeks.
As an PT EMT I can assure you playing hrs of euchre during calls

Five resumes. Five transcription tests. No calls.
I'm trying so desperately to leave the Q. I know my job will be done soon there, I can feel it. I'm hurting financially from all the changes, the ASR, the cut in rates, etc., so I'm so ready for a change! I did the research, read up on this board and many others, and applied for FIVE DIFFERENT COMPANIES. Two are IC, the other three are employees. I will work p/t or f/t, I don't even care, I just need work. I started part-time with a new company before the holidays only to discover they've over-hired and there isn't any work! I'm still technically working for them even though I haven't worked in two weeks.
I have years of experience in all kinds of different reports. I'm a good person with decent skills. Why can't I get a job? I'm starting to think it's the whole MQ thing, that there are so many of us out there, we've flooded the MT market.
I work for MQ, and even they don't mute the conference calls.
If you aren't going to allow anyone to talk anyway, why not just send out an email....
MQ and mute-control on conference calls
MQ allows peons to talk on conference calls, but there is also a setting that you (the peon) can use to mute your phone purposefully when the dog barks, the dishwasher whines, the doorbell rings, the kids scream, and the husband starts moaning loudly. That setting is *2. We were reminded of it at the beginning of every conference call, and if the CCM or conference call leader should have happened to forget, invariably somebody would ask within 5 minutes of the beginning of the call. That puts the obligation on the peon to mute themself when they are wandering around their property listening to cows moo and husbands moan, and then to UN-mute themself when they want to ask if they really heard that right??? LOL!
Seriously speaking, it seems crazy to hold a conference call and then not allow the peons to talk. They may as well send out a mass email!
There were 3 conference calls, with each asking various questions (see message)
Perhaps you were not on the same conference call as some of us.
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced this. I use to work for this company full-time. I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............
Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check. I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........
Feedback please. I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........
Email said conference calls would happen in August. nm
s
Spheris, huh? I had missed a few of their interview calls while moving, etc. sm
And lost information about the contacts. Would anyone know who I could contact? I filled out an online questionnaire, etc., and they were calling me for an interview. Maybe I made the wrong decision with this over company. But, again, everything was completely messed up while moving...Any information would greatly be appreciated!
