What in the H-double hockey sticks is going on over there? The senior director of recruitment has to transcribe and format reports?
What kind of a circus have they got going on? They lay a bunch of people off and then post this bizarre position?
Run, run, run from focus as fast as you can...

The new Sr. Director of Recruitment is insinuating they are not an indian company...
by posting on another site that 90% of Focus' operations were onshore in the U.S. Totally false. And you are perpetuating the fallacy by saying there is change in the wind. The truth is there will never be change at Focus. It is an Indian based and run company!
Hmm .. the TTers are not complaining anymore and Focus/Nuance are advertising again. nm
Treated best during the recruitment
I would say, 95% of the time, whenever I've interviewed and accepted a new job, looking back, I would not that the best treatment I ever received from anyone in that company was during the recruitment process. It was the same with my two late husbands. During the dating and engagement period, they treated me the best that I was ever treated. After I made the commitment to them, they didn't try as hard to be so nice. So, if the recruitment process is anything but tolerable, I can generally expect that the rest of my experience with that company will be worse. I'm sure there are exceptions, but this scenario has been true for me most frequently.
Spheris --sending out recruitment post cards?
Any one else get these things? Don't they offshore? I could have swore I saw some things on here about them running out of work.
Just wondering
And the director of HR. nm
...
It's actually the QA director in disguise
It looks like the type of junk she types.
BMTS and DIRECTOR, anyone know who sm
these companies are? Posted on job board.
operations director
Call their nashville office and ask
sorry, I mean not the HR director, not department. A recruiter is usually under sm
the HR department, but is not the director unless it is a company that is so small there is only one person doing everything. If you did a chart, there would be the HR department headed by an HR director who is responsible for the administrative things in HR, not recruiting. Most directors really are not good recruiters. Most directors are also lacking in the people skills, but they are knowledgeable in all aspects of human resource law.
Sorry to say department above. I was thinking one way, typing another.
You talking about that goofy director they have?
Or how about the wonderful crab in QA?
Overflow work means you do not do full service work for the hospital. They send the company what they want to have transcribed, the company does not get all of the work. They do the overflow work for an HMO, several branches of it, but they do not do the full service work for them. They may have a nursing home or 2 that are full service, but that is about it.
Don't forget the corporate director of HR
He's a piece of work too, totally nuts!
One of those wacko posters was the Director of HR!
I know because he sent me nasty personal emails from a SoftScript email address with his signature block at the bottom. I sent them a resume. The next thing I know I get a not so nice email from the recruiter telling me I didn't pass their test and did not met their minimal requirements for employment. I questioned her as to how she could determine this without my testing. My resume clearly states almost 20 years of acute care MT experience with high QA scores consistently. She insisted I had tested with them and failed. I think I would have remembered taking the test.
I was blasted by the recruiter in an email. I was frustrated and I posted here about a ditzy recruiter at SoftScript. Well, this opened up a barrage of nasty, almost threatening emails from the Director of HR telling me I was just mad cause I was turned down, how bad my test was and my lacking skills, he knew I had been fired from all my jobs, what a wonderful MT the recruiter was, etc. I still have the emails if anyone cares to see what type of management professionals they have at SoftScript. Anyway, then the wacko came on here and started to do the same thing to ANYONE who said anything negative about the company, including another MT who had the same thing happen to her as me, turned down before she even tested. So to sum it up in a work PSYCHO!!
HR Department at Keystrokes is a director, a clerk/secretary sm
and a recruiter. The director is new but only does the legal stuff and is working on the benefits package, etc. The clerk is doing the paperwork. The recruiter is doing the recruiting, interviewing, checking references, passing hire info on. The pieces are in place now and you just validated what has just been put in place. I know there is talk of a second recruiter, one for radiology and one for medical records, but I think this is still in the baby stages. The HR Director heads the department but will not recruit.
Poor choice of wording - not management, new director.

Uumm, fellow MTs. Why would a hospital director be coming to our lil ole board??? nm
:+
A friend of mine works for a hospital that has hired a director from one of the hospitals in
Pittsburgh and she wondered if he outsourced a lot of work or what he did when he goes into a new hospital. They have all at home employees now. I believe it was Allegheny Hospital.
Focus, focus, focus on your work. It's amazing what you can do! nm

our own Claudia Tessier in 2003...she is executive director of Mobile Health Care Alliance. check t
http://www.mohca.org/presentations/MoHCAintro0103.pdf
this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.
this is at the MOHCA site as well.
advertising?
Just curious as to where they are advertising?
That may be but they are advertising. nm
no msg
Not advertising but looks like...
they are taking resumes, doing testing on their web site. I'm tired of going through applying, testing, etc. and then finding out the company is a nightmar so I thought I'd check firrst
Well, they are advertising for a
recruiter so I think they need to get that position filled so they will have someone who will reply to all the job applicants they have. Now, that is just my opinion.
Where are they advertising?
I don't see it anywhere.
See ImageStat advertising on here too.
Be prepared to have to buy expensive equipment, like a $300+ Cisco router because they claim nothing else works with the system, and they have a very odd, untrackable method for counting lines. It is gross lines, but sometimes the margins for reports are very wide with a tiny font. Feast or famine with them because they do overflow work only. QA is not nice, either.
They'll keep advertising.
They need Americans who will perfect voice recognition for the Indians.
Then they won't have any use for us any more.
That's crazy! I wonder how they can get away advertising that.
.
I see Discriter advertising
over and over for the Mich account and an Eye account. They don't sound bad. Anyone have the scoop on why no one wants these jobs? tempted. .
Anyone currently working on the all OPs job they are advertising for. nm
:
Just a form of advertising
Kind of like a Q&A. Like does so and so offer insurance A: Why yes they do very reasonable. Q: Any info on this company. A: Great company!! Smiley smiley tappy tappy feet. Get a room---- pleaseeeeee
Diskriter is advertising for MTs again? Y
Anyone work for Diskriter? Are they losing MTs? I see them advertising quite a bit or are they getting new accounts? Anyone work(ed) for them have any input?
Why is Transtech still advertising for MT's
I don't see them advertising any jobs, though...nm
If they're hiring, where is their job ad or link? Thanks
They're advertising for MT?/QA? via (sm)
Corporate Transcriptionist's? via a very frequently hit resume board online as a link to their own questionnaire/employment form.....so it seems. jhmmmmmm.
no advertising campaign. It's just sm
those of us who have been doing this for a long time feel like you learn better by using books. Its sad that this profession has come to the point where looking into books is considered wasting time.
Believe I saw them advertising on another board for MTs...NM
zzzzzzzzzz
Where are they advertising, Internet or Classifieds? nm
?
Does anyone know about this JG company that is advertising right now a lot. Any info would be
helpful. Have they lost a lot of people or did they get a lot of accounts.
Are they advertising? Care to share where? sm
Any info I have is old, too. Are they currently advertising? They had decent accounts a couple years ago, though I heard their QA people weren't the kindest.
There are companies on this board advertising for 8 cpl
They also want you to pay your own taxes, provide equipment,and pay your own long distance service. PLEASE. Don't do it.
Isn't/wasn't the person advertising with MDI in FL?
I recall her name, and I believe I remember seeing it associated with job ads for MDI in Florida.
They've been advertising for about a year -
NM
I remember seeing a company advertising something about . . .
benefits starting immediately after hiring. I think it might have been in regards to accruing PTO, not having to wait until after probation or one year with the company. Does anybody remember which company this was? Thanks!
MedScribe keeps advertising (see inside)
ER MTs seem to be plentiful. Why are they having such difficulty finding people to work for them?
OMGosh, TRX who doesnt pay is advertising.
Be forewarned. They DO NOT pay.
After I was told I was hired by someone advertising
on the company board here - I provided my DL#, SSN and never heard back from her - since she said up front a background investigation would need to be done down the line and with the type of work I was to do - I understood - but never again. Unless it is a very reputable company with a lot of info about them out there - I will never provide again - way too scarey.
