Not sure if they are hiring, but there is no shortage of work.

Many companies are hiring MTs, QA people etc as
recruiters.
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.
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!!!
Yep, hiring again. Are people quitting or what? There never seems to be a lot of work to me. nm

Any companies hiring for M-F work
I have 10+ years of experience as an MT and need to have a Monday through Friday schedule because that is what works with my kids, school, and their summer sports. Are there any companies hiring experienced MTs for M-F work? 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.
I have seen many companies who want to hire OP people to work from home!

Any other MDI-MD'r's having shortage of work?
Seems like everything is dried up and can't make my line count each day. Wonder why?
No work shortage here
Too much work for me, it's overwhelming. Of course, I work locally for a group of doctors. Do you work for just the one company? Maybe try to find another part-time position, although at this time with the economy, they may be few and far between. I can understand your frustration.
Work shortage.
Would you mind telling me what company you work for where there there is so much work? I am in the same boat with almost never enough work to make a good salary, and it just seems to be getting worse. I am going to be forced soon to look elsewhere.
NOT a shortage of work
I am betting the work is being shuttled off to India to train their people to do it for two rupees a day. Face it, MDI's dirty little secrets are becoming known.
I seriously doubt there will ever be a work shortage again (sm)
This company is growing so rapidly, it's hard to keep up. Several new accts in the last few weeks, and they seem to be big ones. True enough, they may fully staff them soon, but as long as you have a backup acct for slow times, there is no problem. You want them to be flexible, but you have to be flexible as well. I have typed on about 6 or 7 different accounts and the most I've EVER run out of work in 2 years is for about an hour. I have learned to take advantage of a few slow hours here and there. I don't foresee it happening again any time soon though.
It's a good company. There is no shortage of work.
If anything, too much work
Shortage of work has been a MAJOR complaint....
with all 4 MTs that I know who work at MDI. We are all trying to stay loyal to them, but it seems as though no one is listening and they just keep hiring!! If you have work, you should be counting your blessings, but it is only fair to let those people seeking employment at MDI to know what a lot of us are experiencing.
Then they should give that work to those who have a shortage. Otherwise, they are overhiring. nm

Just started with DSG not too long ago and finding a shortage of work right now. Do they overhire
sometimes or what. Seems it goes in spells. Anyone seeing the same thing right now. This started before the holiday time.
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 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.
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.
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...
Companies hiring PT?
Does anyone know of an organized and good company hiring very part time MTs or about 10 hours per week, mainly weekends? I'd hate to test for them all if they ultimately want 20 or more hours. TIA!
Get used to it. Companies are hiring more MTs to

Any companies hiring PT less than 20 hrs besides MQ? nm
Any companies other than MQ that use DQS that are currently hiring. nm

Precyse Solutions uses a similar platform and it is VERY user friendly. They currently have openings. I work for them and absolutely love them. Used to work for MQ.
What's up with companies hiring ICs and...sm
then telling them they need to adhere to a strict schedule? Their desire to classify a worker an IC is so they don't have to pay any taxes or give any benefits, equal to about $0.02 a line. Nevertheless, they also do not want to pay the IC at a higher rate to compensate for this. The schedule part is what gets me the most though. My only reason for being an IC is the flexibility it affords me.
And you are no longer a hiring manager and probably lost out on a LOT of good people
because of how you handled it. HMMMM??
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.
Any decent companies hiring?
Does anyone know of a good MT company that is hiring? Here is what I am looking for...
Flexible schedule
Taxes taken out
Differential if shift work is required
Software that allows decent line counts
THANKS!
Companies that are hiring for VR editors? Anyone know of any?
Thanks
Any companies hiring for op reports?
My company seems to have dried up.
Companies hiring dial up
I swore I posted this but cannot find it. Are there any companies hiring for ICs that will let you use dial-up? I would love to work at my inlaws cottage this summer but they can't get high speed access. Thanks.
It seems to be the new trend - many companies hiring
inexperienced people or clerks (if you will) to manage MTs. It's definitely now all about money, folks. Never thought I'd see the day where folks would take approximately 10 bucks an hour, be paid salary, and work 60 hrs a week, but they are! You have to hand it to them though, this will definitely build up their resumes for the future. Can you imagine who will be managing the industry in say ten years? For once I AM GLAD I'm old. lol
Which companies use EditScript? and are they hiring? nm

Any companies that use DocQscribe hiring PT ICs?
The sound quality at DSG seems to get more awful each day.
Does anyone know of good companies hiring for QA... sm
.... with hourly pay? Thanks.
Doesn't mean they are HIRING; most companies sm
continue to accept applications even when they have no positions open. That way they are ready for the future and have a list of approved applicants when accounts come on-line.
any companies still hiring statutory employees? nm

Anybody know of companies hiring that aren't advertising? nm
Any companies hiring IC that use the VoiceWave Player,
and pays 10 cpl minimum. Thanks.
Companies that use Dictaphone EXT and are hiring?? Any suggestions??
I like working on this system and I need a job!! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Know of any good companies hiring PT Radiology? (nm)

Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm
:
Some companies are constantly hiring and training; therefore
the old faithful MT's are left with the yuk so that the new MT's can be training on the not-so-yuky dictators, then comes along another MT to train, and on and on the cycle goes.
The company I am with stated 35 percent ESL's, but that is totally impossible, unless I am getting the whole 65 percent ESL's. There just does not seem to be any consistency with regards to work flow in pools. That is what I have observed. I guess I should get my own doctors/accounts in order to make that happen, right?
Any companies hiring part-time?
I need flexibility. Willing to do a certain number of lines every pay period. I started with MedScribe of NJ and already they run out of work and seem to be dodging my emails about a secondary account. Afraid I made a bad choice.....
