Has TT lost the QA manager?
?
Why would hiring be better with a new HR manager? The HR manager should not do the hiring. sm
The recruiter should hire. The HR manager should do the job of any normal HR manager and make sure the legal issues are done, benefits, etc. A recruiter is the hiring personnel. The HR manager is to do the inside job of human resources. That should make no difference other than with the benefits.
Wow! I feel sorry for you as a hiring manager! sm
You have to go through all these e-mails and resumes as unprofessional as they sound. Wow, I'm sorry I did chuckle as I read the entire thread below. Can't believe some people send you that stuff. You have got to be kidding!!!

Thanks for the chuckle - really I am sorry and would never want your job!
They are no longer hiring PT flex MTs. nm.

Is a hiring manager the same thing as a recruiter?
?
Explain to me how the work goes to the people who have been there longer?? sm
I've been at TT less than 3 months, have not run out of work for more than an hour, and have never had a problem meeting and surpassing the required line count.
it is NO longer MDI people, it is Transcend policies
The rules change, the people change either from new policies or new staff.

Didn't you read where they send out threats of termination if line count not met YET YET, the MTs don't have the work to GET the line count and they know it, were told that.
In my honest opinion, you people have lost nothing.

Good manager, only downside would be
that you have to remember quite a few rules depending on what doc is dictating. Pretty good normals. Pretty good company. Good luck!

And, no, I don't work there anymore, so I'm not one of the Webmedx managers or cheerleaders. lol! Just stating what I've heard from friends who are in radiology nowadays.
Did, but no longer. Good company however.
Good luck. I was fairly productive, but more so now that I work the same 5 doctors day in an day out, not 100's of doctors. But, to each her own. Like I said, Medware is a good company.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts.  I am interested in this company.
USAMedTran Good or Bad....feeling lost
I need some information on this company.  I need to know if it is worth my time to apply with them.  I passed their test a few months ago and was offered a position with them.  I had already accepted a position with Amphion and so I turned it down.  I am now wondering if I made a mistake.  Amphion is turning out to be not what I thought it would be.  The workload has gone from overflowing to next to nothing.  Now I am getting emails about my production not being met.  Well when my primary account runs out of work in 4 hours and my secondary usually has next to nothing how am I suppose to make production?  Also I think the pay is really low.  I am frustrated and don't know where to go from here.
Maybe...maybe not...but they have sure lost A LOT of good MTs because of bad business practices

Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.

Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
that pays late constantly - lost many good MTs.

It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

Things are not good there now. Think only hiring for 2nd and 3rd shiifts. Good luck. nmx

The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Pay offered last year was 8 cpl/w on 1100 lpd. Some posters said they lost all their good accts

Many companies are hiring MTs, QA people etc as
recruiters.
You must be hiring the wrong people...

it must be bad judgment on your part, but don't lump sum the rest of us who do take pride in our work and do have great work ethics and take our jobs seriously! 


Definitely could not understand why they keep hiring people
when there is no work for us. They specifically told us that our overseas partners would work the accounts in the evening and weekends when we need help the most. Then, it's no wonder when we get up to work that it is gone. They have been working it all evening and night. I'm sorry they wasted your time. If you wait long enough, a lot of people will be quitting (me included) and you might have some work.
I talked to one of their hiring people
but that's on a C-phone account.  Maybe that makes a difference between C-phone and internet account?  Extremely nice lady too, by the way.
And the strange thing is they keep hiring people so it almost seems as though they want us to run
out of work. How has their QA point thing been working out with people on so many accounts. What a joke.
Why is OSi hiring new people when I have been out of work for 6 weeks?

I am statutory (or IC, whatever they are calling it now).  I have a main account and 2 -- count them 2 -- back up accounts.  I have been out/short of work for over 6 weeks.


Unless you are a full time employee, you get no benefits, no hourly, NOTHING.  I am amazed that they are hiring when they have people already trained and begging for work!!!


Don't they realize that it costs a WHOLE lot more in turnover to train a new employee than to keep an already-trained one happy?


I'm looking at other nationals now.  I've never been one to job hop, but I just can't take the time off any more!!!


Why have they bothered advertising or tried hiring people when they do not have enough
manpower to get it going in an efficient manner. Truly, I hope Shiela is also not the one responsible for doing payroll. That may well be too much on one person. I have worked in offices where doctors were too cheap to hire extra help and just ran us into the ground with so much work until we quit from burn out. It just not the right way to run a business, having one person do everything. I do feel for Shiela but who would want to contact her now and burden her more. BTDT
The email was not about looking to fire people. Yes, they are hiring. sm
The email stated that everyone must maintain certain levels for production and for QA in order to stay a Keystrokes' employee.

They were reassuring us that even in this depression or recession, or whatever it is being called now, we will have work to do and that they are still growing.

There are 2 openings on my account, so I know that they are hiring, and there is a new account starting next week too.
Yep, hiring again. Are people quitting or what? There never seems to be a lot of work to me. nm
:
You missed the point. She has people that do the hiring because she is busy with her own
responsibilities. There are just people that feel they need to talk to Lee or no one, and those people find that they do not get things done as they should because they did not go through the right people.

If you knew Lee, you would know how wrong you are. I have never worked for someone as respectful or caring of others and I have worked for a lot of people in and out of transcription. This is the ONLY company where I have ever felt that I was treated as a person. How horrible of you to judge someone that you do not know.
Because of the shortage of work, we don't want our companies hiring more people. nm

Maybe they are tired of hiring so-called experienced people sm
wwho get someone else to test for them. Maybe they want to hear the correct answers straight from the horse's mouth so to speak...
Turns out she was just frazzled hiring people. She works there. Sorry about the bad press.

News report government hiring 1000 people - sm
To work on cybersecurity. I wonder if they will address the use of widespread databases like some (they shall remain nameless lest this post get booted) VR vendors use. I hope so. I think I'm going to ask for all the names and addresses who have access to my medical record from my local hospital and see what they tell me.
Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting

I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 


I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 


There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments


OSI ALWAYS hiring, good MTs ALWAYS quitting
.
Does anyone know of good companies hiring for QA... sm
.... with hourly pay?  Thanks.
Yes good company and they are hiring. It
is best to apply through their website.
QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week.  No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie.  The account is gone, please look for new jobs
Know of any good companies hiring PT Radiology? (nm)
/
TransTech - they are hiring now, good time
....
I saw they were hiring but there is no way I'd work for them. Their ad sure sounds good with shif
differential and good pay etc.. but it means nothing if they dont pay their people and you had to fight to get it. No thanks.
Good companies hiring for clinic work

Know any good companies hiring for clinic work? I'd rather get lower pay for clinic and have a higher line count than stress out over acute care at this point.


Good company but had layoff in July. Are they hiring?
Very professionally ran company.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
I never got an email back when I asked if they were hiring. Good luck! nm

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.
Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
Good people
Great benefits, insurance - 2 weeks vacation. Rarely hear from anyone, they just let you do your work.
Jealous? These are good people ...
