Has anyone used a recruiting company to find a job?

If so, how did that go? I need a new MT job (been out of it for about a year) and am having little luck finding anything reputable. I have over 5 years experience and seem to be coming to a lot of dead ends. I am getting seriously frustrated!

I believe this is a recruiting company...
Years ago, I worked for a company here in Georgia by the same name. They hired for physician and dentist's offices at that time, different types of medical fields/specialties. They only had in-house positions at that time, but I guess they have changed since most transcription is done via the internet now. I also had a girlfriend who was a dental assistant who worked with them. She stayed pretty busy and never had any complaints either. Hope this helps.
I went through a recruiting company, thinking they
would have leads on companies who might not want to post an ad for some reason and that I could find something paying better, etc. They represented 2 companies I think, one of which I had already tested for, been offered a position, and rejected it. They knew this but wanted me to go through the process again. I did and they offere me the same thing that I was offered before and I again turned down the position and then never heard from the recruiting company again. It was the same company mentioned by someone else.
I recommend posting your resume on all the free job boards and also applying to any company that meets your needs, as far as employee/IC and hours, etc.
I have posted my resume before and got probably a dozen responses, most of which I weeded out right away due to low offers. I tested for a few and was offered positions with all of them and even took one of the offers, but that company eventually went out of business. I posted my resume again and months went by with not even 1 offer, and then several months later I got a few offers. You just never know what the response will be.
Anyone know which company Denise Williams is recruiting for?
for the Editor position?
Loyalty has nothing to do with it until you find the company for you. Be loyal to THAT company.
:p
Find another company
I agree with these posters. I am there NOW and will not be soon. They do NOT provide equipment, you have to buy your own pedal, you get these bitchy E-mails, being talken down to REGULARLY. Not only is their management a piece of crap, but their tech support sucks..if you happen to work when there is no tech coverage, too bad for you, you have to wait until they come in the morning. PLUS I am using my own computer. Arrogant QA people, ignorant "managers"...and it all crashes down on the poor MT's head who is just trying, FIGHTING to make their lines. Please, please do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere.
If you find a company that does that let me know, please. nm
You will not find a better company
The dictators, etc., is up to the MT. Can you do it? TT is a great company.
Find a different company. This one will not get better.
No one answers any questions, you only hear something if you make a mistake. The platform for work is really nasty, more editing demographic work than typing, and the editing platform is the worst of the worst. Someone wrote that their pay is fair and it is, if you use fair in the context of poor, fair, good, and excellent, but it definitely is not fair in regards to quality or experience. During my interviews, I find many companies are offering much higher rates, especially with VR, even MQ with their bad reputation. In order to survive you have to work a 12 hour window because there is no work much of the time.
Find another company!
Transcend sure sounds like they are getting worse. They have a ton of positions open but the VR platform stinks so bad that people are leaving rather than working at such a reduced wage. No communication is the fault of the TL and ROMs which are the worst in the industry as someone said on here a couple of weeks ago and I found in my 3 years there that they are the rudest things and talk down to you and insult you more than help you. Now, there are a few great ones but from reading this I think the bad ones have infected the whole lot of them. There are better VR platforms out there and companies with straight typing that are not rude and treat you like crap, go girl, go!
I don't have all day to try to find a company

You won't find anything like that with a company. Hospital sm
benefits are much different, but there aren't many of those jobs left. They are tumbling to the nationals increasingly.
Wmx has 6 paid holidays for all full time employees. Graduated rate of PTO, 5 days first year, 10 days for the next 5. You won't find any company that offers any benefits at all to part time people, as far as I know. The insurance cost at Wmx are cheaper than, and the coverage far superior to, any other companies I have seen.
Where did you find that kind of company?
Please do tell, need to move on myself.
I'm trying to find out a company name. It is a small,
I think just an owner and IT person, company in Wyoming, I believe. I can't remember the name of the company. They offered me a position and I turned them down, but I need to make a list of all the companies I've turned down as many of them continue to contact me and I want to be able to say no right away instead of going through the interview again because I forgot. I know there is a company in Cody, WY, but I don't think that is them. They were extremely disorganized.
Anyone have a clue who is may be? I know I haven't given much info to work with.
Do you find it a very disorganized company?

I already tried to find stuff about this company
but nothing comes up when i type the company name in the search box.
Find a company with work already
darn! There's a suggestion... There are plenty that advertise... Most MTs on this board swear they can transcribe anything and can do so many lines a day, so look around that's what you do.
There's no such thing as job hoppin' if the compay doesn't have enough work for you. Find another company that does. Take control of your life and stop letting people walk all over you.
The statement made by the other poster is most certainly a fact... these companies take advantage because they have MTs who take their crap day in and day out... move on already!
great. well i'd like to find another company.
i've lost my main account, on a seriously crappy account with a supervisor who has a large stick up her butt. I can't make any money here and I'm about ready to just quit and do something else.
If you find a company to cross-train in
can you please post the name of the company. I have been wanting to get into radiology. I probably know more than I think I do. However, radiology and medical records transcription were done in separate parts of the hospital, so never got to practice what I learned.
thanks
Yes, if I ever find a company who will do it I will certainly share the info. :)
Good luck!. When you find the company, let us know. sm
I'm in the same boat. 
TransTech is a great company. I don't find that they have any more ESL's than any other
company. The pay is good (not great, not bad), the benefits are affordable. For me, the best thing is that I feel I am treated with respect. They are great people who care about us. Overall, this is the best jobs I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
Why not? If your current company is out of work, you need to find another, and another and another,
you can make a decent weekly income. I've been there and done that, sometimes 5 companies at once, until I finally landed a decent position with consistent workflow.
How do you pay your bills making less than $500 a week?
What company just bought out Focus? I can't find it now. Thx. nm

If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
Can't seem to find any information on MD-IT. Does anyone have any experience with this company?
:-)
What is the name of the company?? StatlQ? I can't find it by googling (sm)
Can you give some more info, is there a website? TIA.
Good company, for sure. Find one where you're SM
consistently safe from overhiring--and then come back and give all the rest of us the name. In the meantime, for me at Webmedx most days have plenty of work, although some days require adjusting my schedule during the day to the work flow.
You know, evolving electronic capabilities and patient needs have now led hospitals--our employers' clients--to expect the very quick turnaround needed. Years past have taught home MTs we can work when it suits us. Is it any wonder that MTSOs are currently doing their best to deal with these realities by overhiring when needed? Webmedx is trying to stabilize this situation to everyone's benefit--economic at least for us--by pushing its MTs to meet our commitment of hours per week while still allowing some flexibility.
I'm MsIndigo and I approved this ad. :) Best wishes whereever you land.
Anyone find Oracle to be a good company?
I was just referred to Oracle Transcription Services. Is this a good place to consider switching to as an IC, as this is all they hire. The flexible schedule of an IC definitely appeals to me.
WOULD LIKE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT HAS DECENT FAMILY INS. BENEFITS AND PTO
I have been working in-house at a hospital and would like to go home to work, but I am having a hard time finding a company out there that offers decent insurance benefits and PTO.. Any ideas are appreciated..
Trying to find company(ies) using the BayScribe transcription platform?
You'll be hard pressed to find a company
that pays hourly and allows you to work at home, that just isn't the way the business works. I'm not saying that those type of positions don't exist, just that they are extremely rare. Now if you worked on-site that is a different story.
I've been trying to find a company with steady work
x
I think we must work for the same company. I find it always interesting how they say how great
the workload looks and people are really working hard when the fact is they have overhired and that is why there is no work. Must be DSG right. They are hiring right now. Cant imagine what they are hiring for. Hopefully not the acounts that are already out of work all the time. I wonder what kind of turnover rate they have there.
I think you would be doing good to find a reputable company, much less by putting qualifiers
:+
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
In the Job Bank, company from Phillipines ..CYPHERSCRIBE INC. trying to find new clients.
What part of MT jobseeker's don't they get. They need to solicit work on another board. Why would we want to offshore to them.
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm

MDI recruiting
I applied for a position with MDI, received an email the next day stating that the recruiter would like to interview me and wanted to know the best time to call over the next few days. I replied to the email and several days went by without a phone call or email from them. So I sent another email asking if they were still interested in me. I received an email that stated interviews had been pushed back until the weekend and I would receive a call then. It's is now Monday and still have not received a phone call or email. Is the the way MDI does business? If so, I want no part of it. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
recruiting
What are the requirements of a being a medical transcription recruiter ? How many years of acutual MT is required ? Do you need any MT experience at all ?
One of them did recruiting for another
company while she was *sick* or *without internet* for our company. What a joke and nobody in management was the wiser.
I find this post funny. If a company advertises constantly, posters question if they are losing peo
3 weeks, since 5/24, there are posts that question if they are growing. Who cares if a company is growing or not as long as they have enough work for their MTs. I started PT with KS two weeks ago and will be going FT 7/10 after my long-awaited and much-needed vacation. They have treated me very well and have plenty of work if the account I work on is any indication. I also came to them on the recommendation of several MT friends who work there, all of whom are very happy and have been for a while.
If you want to work for a particular company, your best bet is to contact them. I have read in several publications that more jobs are filled before advertising than after the fact.
Give them a call, especially if you like/love radiology!
Supervisor/Recruiting
Are there ever any supervisory/recruiter positions
posted here?
They all will be. Do they even bother recruiting in US
xx
No need for a Recruiting Board here.
It was a guy recruiting wasn't it?
Perhaps recruiting has been offshored?

How would she get a recruiting bonus

SharpHearing Recruiting
I heard SharpHearing Technologies is hiring newbies for home based medical transcription positions. I only have their email address sharphearing@gmail.com Please provide more details here if available.
Hard to believe they are recruiting. The newest sm
radiology MTs just ran out of work because they lost a major account. We also lost a couple of other major acute care accounts. They don't tell us what is going on, and it is really a slap in the face to see them recruiting.
Here they are, recruiting again, when we are running out of work AGAIN. sm
What is wrong with these people at Webmedx?
I thought they were just a recruiting firm. nm
