No, higher. I think like 6 or 6.5 cpl. I would call Debbie and ask her.

Nice recruiter. They are the national office and do the preliminary
interview, then the regional office does a f/u interview for the position that is open.
Does anyone know of companies who will higher newbies?
Most of my students will be graduating soon with associate's degrees with major in medical transcription. Are there any companies hiring new graduates?
Why don't you call the recruiter
How difficult is that. You can even do it anonymously, give a fake name if they ask who you are. Just call them.
Just got a call from the TH recruiter SM
I passed their test and they offered me a job! Yeehaw! ;) I'm really looking forward to it. I start around Feb. 13 (my request as I want to give notice where I currently work).
Thank you to everyone on this board who helped me make this decision.
Stressed no more
I got a call from the recruiter
yesterday, and he said he was only looking for PT days or FT night shift :( That's all I know, though!
call recruiter and ask them

I would call the recruiter...
Let her know you are having a problem and I am sure she will make arrangements for another way for you to test.
Best of luck.
Experiences With National Companies
Can anyone tell me their experience with national companies? I have been in the transcription business for a long time, but I have never been so confused by vague instructions by national companies! I thought it would be as simple as going to a site and picking up my work and then E-mailing it back! Is there any company that works like that? I'm spending so much time trying to fit into a format, going to different places, loading the work, etc., that I'm actually losing money! Is this just from being inexperienced with a long distance company or do they all operate that way? Please e-mail me with your opinions.
Small national companies
I'm trying to find a new company and it is way more involved than I thought. Earlier I asked about larger companies. What are some of the smaller companies that people work for, say not more than 200 MTs?? Thanks for your replies!!
Call a recruiter. No new employee can tell you this and let me tell you why...
There is a very specific, fairly new paragraph in the information that new hires are sent: If you talk about your salary, you can be terminated.
Salary is dependent on your test scores, your interview, the account you'll be on, and your experience. It differs for everyone, and it is competitve with other MTSOs. Your best bet is to call, or email, a recruiter. Their information can be found on MT Jobs, MT Stars, and MT Desk in their weekly ads.
Best of luck in your job search!
You would probably need to call and ask that question to a recruiter. nm

I would call your old boss or a recruiter. nm

No return call from recruiter
I had a similar situation happen twice, I might add. I got an E-mail from a recruiter on 2 separate occasions - same recruiter one year apart during my job searches; the recruiter was from Prohibity Transcription wanting to know when is a good time to schedule an interview. I immediately responded and said anytime from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but to let me know what would work best for her schedule as I am flexible.
I never, on both occasions, received a reply back. I sent a follow-up E-mail a week later, on both occasions, I might add, and never heard a reply. I called the company and asked to speak to the recruiter by name and got her voice mail with no return phone call.
I, too, have been in this business for many years with a proven track record and I used to get a phone call the same day my resume was sent out by companies, sometimes within 15 minutes upon receipt of my resume.
All I have to say is at first I thought it might have been a fluke the go around she did not respond to my E-mail. The second time, I am not so sure.
My advice is look to the smaller MTSOs who are family owned as opposed to the Nationals - of course, with most of them, you are an IC, but I find you tend to be treated as a valuable employee and your hard work is appreciated.
Usually they send UPS or Fed-Ex; you can call your recruiter /
trainer and find out if they have a tracking number for the delivery.
I'd call the recruiter tomorrow and ask what the
deal is. If you need $$ now waiting until 9/1 isn't helping and my the time you go through interviews/testing with other companies it will be about 9/1. They are hiring lots of people and I'm sure things are chaotic and you might fall through the cracks.
What companies use DocQscribe or Webcorrect except for that one national? I think there are more
I think there are more companies out there using DocQScribe and Webcorrect, but not sure how to find out. I like working with those programs but there are a couple big companies that I use it that I dont want to work for, so I am trying to find some others who use it. Thanks, I appreciate your help!
Simple answer. Call a recruiter.
It's not like you owe them your first-born child if you talk to them, they're paid to help.
The recruiter said she would call me with a 60 minute test? sm
The test is over the phone?
Any national companies out there that allow at-home radiology transcription?
Large national companies and slow startup.
From the replies I gather the slow startup has been experienced with Focus, FutureNet, SoftScript and Keystrokes. What is the company that starts with an M that someone mentioned? Any others we need to add to the list?
Large national companies and slow startup.
I think more people have experienced this than care to admit. From the posts I think we have Focus, FutureNet, Softscript, Keystrokes........and the one that starts with an M which I'm not sure about. Any others?
Axolotl update: got a call from the recruiter yesterday. sm
They give you a computer, but require a $300 deposit on it, to be taken out of your check in $50 increments until paid. I left a different national a few months ago; and when I had started there a year ago, got a new computer and no deposit required at all.
Got called over a month and a half after I applied to their ad.
Line rate is required 170 per hour.
I'm supposed to get a testing e-mail soon, and have to respond and do the test within 48 hours. That 300.00 bothers me. A few extra hundred added to it, and I could buy my own. I've heard the horror stories of deposits and equipment issues.
I think I'll pass.
Call and talk to a recruiter. They would know what openings are on what accounts. nm

I know we have clinic work but not sure about the Part time. Call a recruiter. nm

The percentage of offshoring is higher than 15%, much higher - sm
Two more points - the Indian transcriptionists seemed to get the easy American dictators while the US transcriptionists get the Indian doctors and other ESLs. Never made sense to me. Also, a poster said the work is QA'd before being sent to the client - not all the time and if was then QA needs better training.
I have been a recruiter for 4 different companies over the past 15 years. sm
This is more common than most realize. For every 20 resumes I receive, only 8 are qualified. Of those 8, only 6 will answer their phone or call back when a voice mail is left. That always amazes me, as why apply if you have no desire to talk to the company? Of those 6, only 4 actually are qualified. You would be surprised how many only want 1st shift, M-F, no weekends, no holidays, no ESL doctors, only internet accounts, only word-based, only op notes, no op notes, only long reports, only short reports, etc. The list goes on and on. We hear about every health ailment, how some are working althought they do not need the money, wish I could say that, about how their husbands do not like them to work when they are home. We hear about how they have to leave for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon because they have to drive their kids to school. Did I mention that they need off every other Wednesday for 3 hours for Cub Scouts and every Thursday for two hours at lunchtime to be lunch mom at the school. Oh, don't forget that they get their hair done every Friday morning from 8 until 10 and they may have to drive their mom to the doctor every Tuesday. I am not exaggerating. They all assure me that they want a lot of volume, but of the 4 that I actually hire, it is even scarier. One may be perfect in terms of volume, quality and actually showing up for work. One will work for an hour and disappear forever. One will beg for work but only take 10 minutes off the system at most. One will have an emergency the first day and never call back, never actually starting.
So to have 100 employees, you need to go through 3000 resumes, hire 500 of them and hope to get 100 good ones.
I was going to work for a large company that gets a few bad and many good posts here but decided that the pressure would be too great. It is hard to find 5 good MTs for a new account. I cannot even begin to think how impossible it would be to find 25 or 30, as they have advertised in the past.
This industry sees a lot of job hoppers. Yes, there are a lot of bad companies out there, but they job hop for no reason it seems, other than someone actually expected them to show up and produce.
I am personally against offshore transcription and will not work for a company that send work out of the U.S. but I know why they turn to other countries to do the work. They have a better work ethic. When they find a good job, they stay with it forever. They appreciate that have a job and food on the table. It is a way of life for them and there are no second chances. They cannot burn their bridges or no one will hire them.
Maybe MTSOs need to have higher standards and hold their employees to them. There are thousands of excellent MTs out there, we just have to weed through so many to get to them that they sometimes get overlooked.
Sorry for ranting, but I really enjoyed the OP's post and it struck a few nerves!!!
I try to call a few companies every now and then, not looking but
just seeing what is out there and asking what bennies, etc., and I'm giving them my piece of mind when they offer peanuts for 10+ experience. If we all did that now and again, maybe it would have an effect....
Do what you think is best. I just left a major national, went to another national but after
6 weeks found it did not fit. Just happened to luck into another smaller national and things couldn't be better. There are other jobs out there.
Oh, sure. Let me call the utility companies and have

Call insurance companies in your local
yellow pages that advertise health insurance. Call several to get comparisons.
Check einsurance.com.
Apply directly to companies. Call them. sm
NEVER post your resume and personal info on the internet.
Give them a call. So many people switching companies all the HR depts must be really busy. nm

Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line

OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A HIGHER UP
OR A SUCK UP THAT CHERRYPICKS ALL THE GOOD WORK AND GETS PAID FOR YOUR SPACES. Get a life and leave us poor people alone.
Higher?
They won't if you don't know how to spell hire.
higher
SS pays higher than that for QA.
higher than DQS
but I get paid for everything whether I type it or not, headers, footers, ADT, etc.
they can higher new MTs
nm
My pay is much higher
I do VR and straight and what you quoted lots lower.
higher pay does not mean better. Try them both.
nm
You can call it greed, I call it feeling like
I am back in the 80s with the money I am pulling in. SS, retirement check and my paycheck, cha-ching. Not planning on taking it with me, never. Love to travel and have 4 places planned for this year. High maintenance lady here. Ta-Ta.
That is for pay; what they charge is much higher. sm
They are not cheap. Our department went with them a few months ago, and they were higher than all but one other company. My manager and her higher-ups really liked them. We have met the owners and two of their managers and I have to say that I was impressed too. They were definitely the nicest company that came in. They are doing a great job too. I am going to work there part time evenings, so I would recommend them.
Not really. I think the average is higher than that. That's on the low end.
I would not take less than 1.25. Just my opinion though.
so if it is not 8, is it higher or lower..(nm)

Are you the KS Lead that goes to the higher ups?
If the higher ups are telling you they are getting 20 accounts, they are probably counting each dictator on one account! Would that make sense! I'm being sarcastic. Is it working? LOL Think, people, think!!! LOL - laughing at this whole thread. It is hysterical! I LOVE THIS BOARD!!! 
If Keystrokes was so fantabulous, they wouldn't need to post on here to hire!!!!!!!
They pay higher than most and their communication
I though they were very professional and the Beyond TXT platform was not half-bad. They treat you like a person and not someone from far, far away. LOL - They have my vote as well! 
nor that smart especially the higher you go LOL
.
Of course it is too low. Will you get higher rate?
x
They start out higher than that :)
nm
That is the average or even a little higher...
especially nowadays...
