And as easily as the recruiters move around SM

In Reply to: Well you can look at it this way. If you - There's always a bright side
they also can remember all the difficult or nasty people they have had bad experience with at their old companies. What a person sows at one company, they may reap when they try to move to another.

that's too bad..maybe it's the recruiters accusing others of being recruiters...

Very easily...
If I can currently get approximately 2,000 lines from 80-90 minutes of dictation at 13 cpl, $1.00 per dictated minute is a big loss. It depends on the speed of the dictators and also the rate.
I can do 300 lpd relatively easily, $100 a day.
32
Consistently I would say easily 200/hr all the way
up to 300 per hour but with the right macros/expanders you can certainly do even more than that because it not only depends on the account but also how proficient you are with your expanders.
Of course, you'll probably need a day or two to recuperate from your hard work:)
She gave up too easily IMO.
You can get into the system and see the dictator's other reports. When doing a discharge or consult you can check the H&P. You build your normals for the difficult ones. It takes some time, but it's just the usual groundwork in my experience. These ESLs are quite doable compared to one account I had to do now and then with a different service. And what you can't figure out, you blank. More than 3 blanks and it goes to QA. Not your problem after that. The QA people are great and very complimentary of my work. Makes me feel very good to have them reply that yes, that one was tough! We laugh over what VR would do with those dictators. People can only get good with ESLs if they persist at learning them.
If it isn't easily apparent...
to you, then I will not spend time trying to explain it to you.
Their pay is bottom of the barrel. You could easily
A recent job search placed them at the bottom in terms of pay and the schedule they assigned me. Move ahead to something better.
You can easily find private insurance for
a family for a reasonable price compared to what most transcription companies charge and then you aren't tied to a job because of insurance.
Can you easily make your line count - sm
Old posts say 1600 lines per day required. Is that possible on their accounts without going nuts? I was sort of looking into them too, just in case.
At OSi using ExText we can easily pull up other patient reports
I've done that many times if I can't understand a medication name or whatever. I'll pull up the H&P, progress notes, whatever. Really easy to do.
Escription is user friendly and 4 cpl is about average for that platform. You could easily do 400
lines an hour. Some people do even 500-600. Good luck with your decision. From what I know, it really is the best VR platform out there and I make more on that than ever could straight typing.
You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

Now the recruiters have gotten
Take it to the job seekers board and post away. I don't believe you are a happy MT. It sounds like you want to recruit some happy MTs.
Those recruiters will say anything SM
to keep you talking to them. Come back after you've spoken with the supervisor because I am willing to bet they aren't going to be flexible other than 30 minutes either way on a shift and definitely no 12-hour window.
Think what you wish? I know several recruiters
and they make much more than $35000.
MTs for recruiters
Maybe instead of overworking the recruiters, those of us who want jobs should be hired as recruiters, MTs and QA people. At least we would know what NOT to do!!
MT RECRUITERS, INC.
Anyone know anything about these people?
What's up with TT recruiters?
I emailed a resume with an immediate response. Emailed back with question and then received a reply but now that I have emailed back, nothing for days and days. Makes me wonder.......
was it one of those RECRUITERS? lol
/
The recruiters for SS are just as bad!
All around smarmy situation here, worse than anything I've ever seen. And I've been in this biz a long time...
I loved when they sent around the memo to nominate them for MTSO of the year.  Were they serious or just rubbing in their nastiness?
Exactly! Get rid of the recruiters, the
secretaries to the secretaries, the assitants to the assistant manager/supervisor, etc., most of the human resources personnel, even some of the so-called techs who don't know as much about computers as I do! Trim the fat in other places besides the ones who are actually producing the document which earns the company money! Why cut the ones generate actual REVENUE rather than the office fluff & executive-type positions?
Recruiters and their Styles
It seems the more telephone interviews I go through the stranger they become. You really have to wonder how a lot of so-called MT recruiters ever got hired to recruit. Where on this planet did these companies dig them up from?!!! Sometimes you are asked the strangest questions. It is usually like they don't even have your resume in front of them, never saw your test results, etc. Ask them questions and try to get straight answers...What a nightmare...Any funny stories to tell???
I think the job of recruiters is to get people to
work for the company. If you are qualified and past testing they want you. Some recruiters get paid a bonus for each hire, others just need to have new hires to show they are doing their job. I have had dealings with one recruiter who told me what a wonderful account they wanted me to work on, that people on it just loved it and there was rarely an opening so I should count my blessings. I talked to the team leader and she told me about the account and how hard it was and that they couldn't keep MTs on it. I had worked on that account at a different company and I knew for a fact how hard it was. Fortunately for me the team leader was honest, because had I taken the job based on the recruiter I would have quit the next day.
I think a recruiter should be as honest as they can be because it costs money to hire and train and if the MT isn't going to stay because what she was told and what IS was to different things it doesn't look good. I have had recruiters who are not/have never been MTs and they haven't a clue what you are talking about half the time.
I have adopted Oprah's advice - doubt means don't. If I don't have a good feeling about a company I won't take the job.
Have you asked their recruiters? -nm

Clique/recruiters
Maybe it is one recruiter who works for several companies. A clique of one!
There are recruiters who work for more than sm
one company and they could play an obstacle game with an applicant who refused an offer from one company and applied to the other. People can be fickle and mean.
I see some QA/MT folks do become recruiters from
thread below. Does anyone know how to break into this? I believe I would be very good at this and I don't believe I have ever seen any ads for recruiters.
If I have never seen any ads, how do some of the recruiters who have been/are MTs/QA manage to find the positions that they do in order to allow them to change companies when some of us have never seen an ad to allow us to even enter that end of the field?
I would love to know because I think it would be very interesting.
Would you recommend just to start emailing all companies or calling them, or do you think it would be a waste of time?
Dear Recruiters: I would like to sm
know why you don't state in your job ad what kind of internet connection is needed. Mainly, I would like to know if satellite is acceptable so I know whether or not to even pursue it. Some do say so, but many do not. I really just wonder why. It wastes the time of the recruiter with useless email questions and the MT's time trying to find out.
Recruiters: Thank you for sharing sm
I am really embarrassed for those people, but I am also having a good laugh. I bet you all really need to vent. Do you have a network of recruiters where you can go? I am glad to have a glimpse of your world. Now I know why some of those ads are in caps - YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO DO THIS OR DO NOT APPLY! Honestly, they sound hostile, and I skip by them, but at least now I know why.
aren't we ALL recruiters for the
company we work for. Obviously we like where we work since we are employed there....and don't we all then recruit others who are in the job market....
I think most recruiters are full of HOT AIR, and -
during the recruiting/testing/hiring process, they promise a heckuva lot more than the company ever actually delivers. There are already too many 'suits' lurking on this board, as it is.
More Ditsy recruiters
A few weeks ago a recruiter from a company whose initials are SGS called me. She was not ditzy, just had no knowledge of business etiquette at all. I thought to myself that if it was this much of a pain to deal with them in a telephone conversation, what would it be like to work for them? I think a lot of these companies do not realize that the people they put on the phone are often the only chance they will get to make a good impression. This woman needed to go to charm school.
Actually, all the MTSO recruiters have been sm
at multiple companies over their careers, I don't think she is the only one. I remember there was a Gary at Medscribe in Jacksonville who ended up at 3 other services over the years.
I'm not generalizing, but some of the MTSOs and recruiters
I've dealt with this past week are the most condescending, rude, obnoxious people I've ever "met"!!!! Most of them aren't, mind you, but I've had a run of bad apples recently. Most of them are very nice, personable, honest people. But lately, it's enough to make me want to get out of the business again. Just because a person is offering a job does not give them the right to be jerks. However, it's a good thing it came out now instead of later before I wasted my time or energy any further with them. Some of these people have such egos. They treat potential employees as peons or nuisances, so you can imagine what they treat their employees like. No wonder they're hiring again. And again. And again. I believe in treating my fellow humans with respect and dignity. There's no need to be rude or short-tempered, especially when YOU are the one that made the mistake. If it's stressing you out that much, get out of the business! Some people are just not management material. Please, proofread your ad to be sure you didn't misspell anything or accidentally cut off all the important details when you copied and pasted. Your professionalism, or lack of it, is glaringly apparent. Also, put down a wage range. After seeing my resume, do you honestly think I'd work for $.06-.07 per line? Remember, the person you tick off today with YOUR bad attitude may have been the friend from another board yesterday or a possible account referral tomorrow. I used to think highly of you. Now the truth comes out.
Please post your name so recruiters know who to NOT hire.
If you want a company who doesn't care about quality, you must be well aware already that you can't provide any.
Wal-Mart is hiring.
One of the recruiters just resigned; I don't know if I'd believe what you heard. nm

I personally doubt most of the recruiters know each other.
It's my guess they don't know who each other is.
Recruiters changing jobs too. (sm)
One from MQ went to Precyse. Now one from JLG I see is at All Type. These are just 2 names I have noticed. Guess I have been spending too much time checking out other jobs.
LOL. And with whom? Only good MTs make that much, not recruiters.
x
Do you want to be one? Write to the recruiters who posted
and maybe they will tell you. That kind of information could cost them their job if posted on a public board. Leave them alone.
Recruiters or mgmt should not be solicting
for employees on this particular board, it is for the MTs to share information about companies. I know this isn't an MT.
They are recruiters and get paid by the companies
they represent. They represent the same companies that post on the job boards. They don't get you more $$ or a better schedule. They only represent a couple of companies and are going to refer you to one of them, whether it is a good fit for you or not. If you decline a position you'll never hear from them again.
If you'll read the archives you'll find lots on them and all state about the same thing.
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. :)
Gosh you TT recruiters never give up do you?
:>
Didn't you ever think recruiters post these..
nm
Is everyone also aware recruiters are paid by SM
how many people are hired? Many of the companys pay them like that. Therefore, they are not working to place someone in a job that works for the MT and the company. They want a job filled and they want to be paid.
It is my sincere hope that ALL RECRUITERS (sm)
have been reading this Board for the past couple of days. Hopefully, from this, they will understand the enormity of the fact that as MTs our discontent continues to escalate, nearing the point of boiling over to exiting this business. Then, where will they be. Without a job and unhappy. But we, on the other hand, will be okay, as we are highly intelligent at what we do and will figure out and make a way of finding our own accounts, which from what the MTSOs say, it very self-satisfying.
LOL typo... The recruiters in my experience
do *not* represent the company you are applying to work for. In other words, you get this professional friendly intro, but when the recruiter disappears from the picture so does the professional/pleasant demeanor.
