No testing, on spot hire 8.5 cm sm
I have LOTs of experience. They have excellent benies and they contribute to your health plan making it EXTREMELY affordable with plans to choose from. They have PTO that is generously figured, incentive plans that are sometimes pop your eyes our good.
I used to get 10 or better. You know what? That 1 to 1.5 cents won't buy me health insurance, won't help that much on my taxes and certainly won't give me 11 PTO days a year...and I'd have to work EVERY holiday, not just 4 a year.
TransTech does hire both FT and PT
TransTech is by far the best national company. I made my rounds through most of them and hated or disliked all of them to some extent until I found TransTech. You will not be sorry for making the change. They have new accounts and are hiring now.
Transtech DOES hire PT

Any information would be wonderful!
Does Transtech hire for VR only?
If this is all they are hiring for I will look elsewhere. tia
Does Transtech hire to work on VR?
I am so SICK of VR I'm jumping ship.
curious, does TransTech hire PT?
Do you have to punch in and out on time clock and/or are they extremely strict with working specific hours?
And does TransTech hire IC or employee?

Easy to spot
 lol :)
I got hired right off the spot
They e-mailed me my paperwork and I got started right away.
NM up there. She needs a new spot as her current job

Yours was one of the most eloquent, spot-on, and
to-the-point posts I've ever read on MT Stars. Every sentence, every typed character --- DEAD-ON ACCURATE!
I think every MT supervisor, hospital CEO, current MT, new MT, wannabe MT, nurse, doctor, patient, and elected official should read these words and take them to heart.
I think your talent with the written word is wasted in this profession.
I only meant that we do not run out. I am taking someone's spot while sm
they are on vacation. I know that someone will take care of mine when I leave in 3 weeks for vacation. It is called teamwork. We are not overstaffed on our accounts; it is a good workflow.
I also know that they are not hiring right now as we are fully staffed, and I know this was posted here a few weeks ago. There are a few new accounts coming and I am sure that they will hire then but not overstaff.
I was on that end before and NO THANK YOU. I hated scheduling and coverage issues and waiting for clients to pay. I just transcribe and get paid well to do a good job.
I quit "Johnny-on-the-spot" nm

Your post is spot on. I agree with everything you say.

Spot on! You've got it right! I am so sick
of these MTSOs taking advantage of ALL of us, newbies and oldies alike. It makes me sick, yes, sick, to read the posts from all the innocent new hires, who are so excited about their new job, and on here all happy with a few questions. My heart sinks when I see the company they signed onto, and then my BP starts to rise when I read how they love the recruiter, she was so nice, blah, blah. Boy, been there, done that, and these MTSOs and their lying recruiters are still playing the same game they were 5 years ago. I nearly went bankrupt believing the lies, and why not? Why would MTSOs lie to us? Why would recruiters lie to us? I'm not saying all do, but definitely the ones discussed regularly on this board are what one might otherwise term pathological liars. They have NO shame. Promise the MT the moon, get them to say YES and commit, and then just wait til that first week or two. That recruiter will vanish off the face of the earth. They're done with you, got their commission or salary, added another notch on their belt and have moved on to the next victim. Yet MTs read the experiences of all the rest with no work, no work, overhiring, and still fall for this. Its beyond a shame. I think it must somehow be illegal. I'll never forget a great recruiter at Transcend. I thought she was a saint. She thought I was so wonderful and special, she put me on their best account... I kid you not, exact words, and I think paid me something like 8.5 cpl. Which she also told me was their MAX cpl, and only done for me as I was so special... Well, unbeknownst to me, or her, a coworker who I shared my wonderful Transcend experience with, applied a day or 2 later. The same saint recruiter told my friend (again, not knowing this), that she would put her on a different account. When my friend asked if they had any accounts in the state I had told her - as I didn't give the account name, the recruiter laughed and told her it was their WORST account, full of garbage and ESLs, and only chumps got put on it. She was too special for it, and also got at least another cpl offer more than I did. And I had tested better and had years more experience, but my friend was more assertive. Well, she called me and compared notes. She never started, as she was so insulted at the BS, and I tried, but hated it. I just didn't have the heart, knowing I was deceived. That's just an example of the game, and its still going on. When you see the same company names hiring all the time, there IS a reason, and don't fall for the excuse that its because they are getting new accounts. Oldest story out there - right up with the check is in the mail. Cover this stuff up front with those recruiters, get a guarantee in writing of a work load and hit the ball out of the park when asking for your line rate. You can bet that whatever they offer is bottom barrel offers, so go for it! You have nothing to lose, believe me.
FYI, her work was just spot checked by us - sm
from time to time, as we are to send in client-ready work, no true QA. Hence a lot went through to the client that was less than stellar unfortunately. Their request to remove her was not a reflection of a bad QA department.
I'm so flustered, I got my name in the wrong spot LOL nm

No sore spot at all. I simply do my job,
get my lines and hours in without much trouble and don't fret about who's getting the gravy work. I get along with my lead and supervisors well. I can do any report that comes my way, even the ESLs that others continuously skip over or suddenly lose their connection when they see the name or number. Simply do the job I was hired for, collect a nice paycheck and when my day is done I don't think about it again until the next day.

Thanks. Trolls are easy to spot (and ignore). ;) nm

Yes, you are someone, You are one of their token US employees. Hey, what is that brown spot
;
The other thing is that I know India is a sore spot.
that really can get ahead with Focus. I also feel that not all nationals (hence their name) and MTSOs are really going to reveal they offshore. I feel that if a company offshores and is honest about it that it says a lot for that company. Honesty is a good policy.
I also feel that since Focus is a large company, you may not run out of work and you may advance in the company as I said. You could always give it a fair shake and if it doesn't work out, then move on. You can only live and learn, and you never fail until you stop trying. This is just my thoughts on your situation. I definitely would not worry because all money is green and it spends.
Axolotl a bright spot in a dim MT universe
Seems like the company is hiring. Though they are really picky it seems like they are what we are looking for, because their insurance rates are as low as some other companies used to be and as low as hospitals are and start in 30 days, they have a sign on bonus, a referral bonus, great high line rate and provide equipment with deposit. Company started by doctors and do not off shore. I am pretty happy about the prospect, however, they only take really really experienced MTs. Anybody have experience with this firm and could provide further information would be well appreciated. They just got a new account, I do not think they normally hire many because very low turn over. Any comments at all pro or con would be very very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
pretty sure this post is in the wrong spot.

OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot
I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay. The reason??? With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type. I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there. This is just sooooooooooo wrong. I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need some help ASAP. Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly? I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate. This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Follow up on Bright Spot in Dim Universe Axolotl
This is to the MT who was so excited about Axolotl a while back, and anyone new there. Thinking of applying, because it seemed perfect, but then staying with company until people have been there a while. It has been a few weeks. To the happy Transcriptionist and those who went with her to Ax, wondering how it is going. I don't want the stress of leaving my current job, so comments would be appreciated. If that place is too good to be true, I'd like to know and just stay where I am. TIA.
Big changes happening very fast at Medware! Anyone know what gives? Making me a spot of nervous.
nm
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's in Kentucky has an In-House, days MT spot

And furthermore, you can see this hits a sore spot, this giving people backup accounts and then
you run out of them is also ridiculous. There you sit making less and less money and trying to learn multiple dictators and then guess what, that dries up. Once you know that is what a company is doing, then you go to your alternate plans and never look back. Sooner or later when MTs either decide no more or they get multiple jobs and they have to keep hiring and hiring which impacts their quality I am sure it will settle down. At least, I would hope so although it doesnt seem to be right now. Could be because of sending work offshore not sure. All multiple backup accounts do is make it harder to make money and you have more problems with QA and your own quality because you just keep popping in and out of all these accounts that you really dont get to know that well. Knowing an account well is the best way to go for quality and line count for sure, NOT multiple accounts. All that does is help the MTSO keep the work caught up to the exact MINUTE.
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...

LOL!!! They would hire anyone, they just need to get
YIKES!!!
DSG does hire ICs
hire-on?
no, I took their test on-line though...I am shopping around right now for a fair well-known company with a simple format -- I just want to transcribe and be paid for it, none of this tier stuff
Yes they hire IC as well, which is what
I would suggest as this company is not very loyal to their employees.
Do you know if they hire nm

Do they hire FT and PT? Thanks! nm

they either over hire or have a lot
of MTs leave because they have been running ads for several months now. I would be leery of that.
