Unpleasant experience with Rad Trans
I had tested with Rad Trans many months ago. A colleague of mine had been talking about a position she was leaving because of having to deal with this lady. I told her it sounded like the same one I had just tested with - turned out to be one in the same! She lost my test (sent me the wrong results), then found MY test and sent that to me, and then kept insisting she didn't have mine and wanted me to test again. I absolutely refused. I could tell this was one company/person I just didn't need to get involved with. Rad Trans seems to have an ad up pretty regularly for work....I think it's pretty obvious why.
No, you are not hearing concern. You are hearing that
MTs are not sheep to be led to the slaughter. I am a CMT. It is wrong to force CMT status. Even MTSO owners for the majority are not certified. What next for them? They will be required to be certified or they will not start a company and they will only hire CMTs? Don't you see where this is leading? Hell, you can choose to abort a baby in today's economy. You can't even choose not to be credentialed? A slippery and dangerous slope here to be sure.
I praise these MTs who are willing to stand up and not shut up. AHDI and MTIA are no friends of the MT community. It's time we shut them up...way past time.
Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for? Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa? Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
Try MT matchmaker nm

Matchmaker
This like an employment agency. They are HORRIBLE about getting back with you. I tested and passed with flying colors. They got back to me two months later with an offer.
Matchmaker
I signed up with them, but they never contacted me because I told them I refused to work every weekend. I think I can be choosy with 20 years experience. Don't they think MTs have a life outside their work?

I will email you
Transcription Matchmaker? (sm)
I read about this company in Advance. Anyone have experience with them? The article said they help you find the best company for your level of experience and interests; the MT companies pay the fees, not the MT.
Transcription Matchmaker?
Just wondering if they helped.
Transcription Matchmaker
If my statement has no merit...why was the string deleted where people indicated that they were unprofessional. The posts did not include any names or any other violations of this site. Why did you delete this?
Another string of posts were deleted that questioned why the above-referenced posts were deleted...you deleted this as well. Why? Why didn't you answer this question in your reply?
This is your site and you can do whatever you please, but it's not fair for your to delete negative posts about certain companies and then leave other negative posts about other companies in place.
What prompted you to delete the TM posts on yesterday, yet you leave the posts on Omniscribe today? You are very inconsistent.
Transciprtion Matchmaker. Does anyone know how
long it takes to hear from someone at TM? I sent an email and resume on Friday, and still have no response. I know its not my resume, so was just getting worried! Does it take a week or so to hear from them? Thanks for any replies!
Transcription Matchmaker
Anyone know if Transcription Matchmaker is a legit place to go through for a job?
Transcription Matchmaker
I worked with Teri at one point, while working with a large national, and at that time she was really only looking for MTs for the company I worked for (I no longer work there).
I called her after leaving the aforementioned national company, faxed my resume, and never heard from her again. This honestly bothered me as I had worked with her for a few years and to just be ignored was frustrating and quite frankly I have yet to figure out why she didn't try to MATCHMAKE me - I've over 35 years experience as an MT/QA and years ago was a MTSO so that wasn't the problem.
I guess you will have to make your decision based on your personal experiences. Every body, at one time or other, has something good or something bad to say.
transcription matchmaker
has anyone tried the transcription matchmaker on this website? I hope posting on this board was okay.
Has anyone used Transcription Matchmaker?
If so, what did you think?
Transcription Matchmaker is
their recruiter
Transcription matchmaker...
Has anyone used the services of Transcription Matchmaker that has their banner advertised here? Any pros and cons to using such a service to find a transcription position? I just sent my resume and wondering how they are to work wth and/or how much help they are. They do not charge for their services and I liked that idea. So afraid of changing jobs as I have been with the same company around seven years, but do not like all the changes going on so thinking the "grass has to be better on the other side."
Thanks! 
Has anyone used Transcription Matchmaker?
Do they charge you for their service? I take it this is like an employment agency?
Has anyone tried those MT matchmaker services?..sm
I have been looking around at MT companies for months now and only apply to those that I would really want to work at, including being able to do work in my specialites, days/hours I prefer to work, pay rates that are acceptable to me (when stated in the ad), etc. So there really aren't many that I have sent to overall, but I am flabergasted how many do not return my emails or email back saying that specific position is filled, but would I consider a different position/shift, etc... like a bait and switch before you're even hired.
I have over 12 years of experience and a decent resume of work done in the past for multiple types of transcription services and also includes that I've been with one national company my whole career so far which shows my loyalty and dedication, so I don't know why I'm not appealing to these companies.
Has something changed in the industry? Several years ago I was going to leave my national and sent out resumes and every single one of them called or emailed back with an offer within the day... now, there's nothing. Are the services just overwhelmed with resumes or are they shying away from experienced MTs or what's going on?
So my question is... Have any of you tried those matchmaker services where they match you up with companies looking for MTs with your skills? Do they work? Are they legit? Do they cost? Just because the companies are registered with them, does that mean they are legit companies, or is this a sort of an anything-goes type of thing?
Just wondering what other's experiences have been and whether it's worth trying something like this. I put my resume on this board years ago and got spam, spam, spam, and no responses, so won't do that again. Any other suggestions? TIA!!
Transcription Matchmaker
Yes, my advice is to STAY AWAY from them! Very unprofessional and do not do the research that should be done in order to place MT's with various companies, in particular Breitner Transcription. Stay away from the too! Both my friend and had absolutely terrible experiences with these two companies!!!!
Transcription Matchmaker
Has anyone ever used this service and if so, how did it work out for you? I'm thinking of trying it and was wondering who they worked with and how successful they are at placing MTs and editors.
TIA
Transcription Matchmaker
Any updated information on Transcription Matchmaker? I have sent them a resume twice, once about five months ago and again lately, but I never hear anything from them - maybe one email the first time I sent them my resume but that was after hounding them a few times. Anything good lately?  I can only find old posts.
Transcription Matchmaker
So disappointing, isn't it?? Sounded like such a good idea and good company.....oh well. Thanks for the response.
Transcription Matchmaker
It would have been nice to have only taken one test, instead of 10, and find a job that way. But, will go the old-fashioned route and apply one by one.........thanks for all the posts! It's appreciated! Doesn't say much for Transcription Matchmaker however! Oh well.... 
Maybe look into transcription matchmaker?
They seemed legit when I talked with them. They do your interview and testing and then match you up with potential employers. Supposedly you only have to take one test. Granted, I did not end up using their services because I found out about them after I had already tested for the job I have today :) Good luck. They didn't want any money, so I think definitely worth looking into. However . . . if someone has had a bad experience with them, please do post about it, as I am only one experience and being that I did not use the service myself, it might be a good idea to hear from someone who actually used their services.
Transcription Matchmaker
I found out they hire for the same companies that post here. What's the point? I would be afraid they would send my resume to a place I already worked - no thanks!
Transcription Matchmaker, MDI and 2Scribe
Does anyone know anything about these companies? I have two years of experience and am looking for a change from the current company that I am working for. Any helpful input would be great! Thanks!
Do you mean Transcription Matchmaker? They're a job finding

Looking for updated experiences with Transcription Matchmaker
I've scanned the archives and seen old posts where people gave their experiences with Transcription Matchmaker. Any current reports? Any folks who've had a positive placement experience with them?
Transcription Matchmaker stopped working w/ Cbay
Heard same feedback from other MTs.
to "Sick of hearing it"
This stufff does NOT go on in all companies. I think the major problem here is with the QA person and the practices OSi has. It is not with other employees, because for the most part all of the OSI employees on most issues except those that are "brown noses" and by the way if you don't want to hear this stuff on here, dont come on this BOARD. Simple as that. "kiss-up,, kiss-up some more"
not hearing back
This is positively not true! When hired all MTs are told the process of hiring, and what the next step is. In the e-mail that is sent out by the office, the AA specifically outlines what the next step is. It takes a while to get IDs from some accounts, and people are informed about that from the very beginning when they are hired.
Please before you post get facts straight, and if someone has not been contacted, then they need to call the office and ask for the HR Director, she will contact the appropriate person to help with any problems.
Also, the ones I am hearing back from are
to start, and many not paying for spaces or anything. It seems like the more a company wants from you, the less they want to pay, I've noticed. If they have a bunch of restrictions in their ads, you can bet they pay crap.
What's up with that?? One ad stated no this, no that, must do this, must do that, must have this, must have that, must purchase this, must purchase that. Then I finally heard from them, tested with them, and after all this and that, they were offering 6 cpl. Yeah, right! lol
Know what I told them? I told them that I believed my 17+ years of experience were worth a whole lot more than 6 cpl, but good luck in their search.
hearing loss
Because of recent events, I am pretty sure I have developed some tone deafness. I am going to have it checked out, of course, but feel frightened about my future as an MT. I'm not young! Wondering if anyone else has faced this and what happened. Is there special equipment we can use, etc.?
hearing problem!!
I have developed a bit of a hearing problem and finding it hard to distinguish sound-alikes. I was wondering if anyone works with a hearing problem or uses some sort of hearing device and what kind, where to find it, etc. I'm more than a little worried here.
hearing problem
Don't give up yet. Ditch the transcriptionist-type headphones and get some good stereo headphones or even a cheap pair from big lots. The difference in hearing will amaze you. They all vary immensely. I don't have a hearing problem but did have an external noise problem with a now-ex-husband and Aiwa Noise Cancelling headphones made the marriage last an extra year. Now I go to Big Lots and experiment with alternative, smaller, lighter, any kind of headsets and have found some really great quality headphones for about $1 to $2. They may not last long but who cares. You will never go back to Transcriptionist headsets. I still use the Aiwa headset for dictators that whisper. Got those on ebay for $20.
Hearing back from
You will get a call from them if you pass the test. Otherwise you will not hear anything. That is what I was told by them. Supposedly many happy MTs there despite the very low pay.
I LOVED hearing this!
And I love the idea of people being made to pay for their own foolishness and cheapness! Serves him right!
But, what makes VR seem like a good idea is that when it does not need to be on constant life support and works just a LITTLE better, an employer still gets our expertise as editors for a fraction of what we used to be paid as MTs. And many of us believe the propaganda put out by our MTSO that, sure we'll take a 50% or more cut in pay, but be able to do 3 times as many lines, so the switch will be a GOOD thing and bring us more money. They have to try to sell us on the win/win scenario because otherwise nobody would give it a chance.
Not hearing from supervisor
I do not hear from my supervisor unless she has made a change to the account specs and is letting me know about it or if she needs me to switch accounts. I like to be left alone so I can do my work.
hearing test?
I'm deaf in one ear all my life. I've been an MT for 25 years, have never had any problems except the kind every MT has when there's static, crackling, background clanging, etc. I've never had to take a hearing test for a hospital job or one for a national. I've had a couple of hearing tests on my own but I have sensorineural loss and a hearing aid doesn't help. I just always wanted to be able to listen to music via stereo but I'll always be monaural--music still sounds great to me.
I have no main squeeze companies and Transcription Matchmaker isn't even a sponsor
so I cannot see how you justify that I show any kind of favoritism to that company. You are grasping at straws to put down this site.
cause I am sooo sick of hearing (sm)
whining and griping and complaining about the same old same old!!! That's why! And if it agitates YOU to think about finding another flippin' job, then so what! I really don't care! I say, if your job stresses you out this much, it is very easy to look elsewhere. There are only TONS and TONS of other places to work, so...find another J-O-B! Simple as that! And quit yer whining, why don't cha? 
Anyone else sending out resumes and hearing nothing?
I have 16 years in the business and 4-5 years editing experience, but am just not hearing back from companies advertising on the boards. Maybe they are receiving 100s of resumes...or is it just me? Anyone know of a company looking for an editor, please email me. Thanks!
And they are giving me hearing loss
their cell phones go off, they are right next to the dictating phones and they do not know whether to answer or call back, you can tell they are picking them up and looking because you are getting an ah, ah, ah and then leaving something electronic close to the phone because all of a sudden we have this horrible loud screech in your ears. My hearing is sensitive!
so sick of hearing that excuse
Heard this for YEARS from KS. My gosh, how many staffing changes and recent growth is a company gonna have? That is always the excuse when there is a problem at KS. News flash..... we know KS is not perfect. it is obvious!
Try a Boostaroo. I am hard of hearing and that little
you plug in your earphones, then plug the earphones into it. It boosts volume 50%.
oh get over yourself. sick of hearing your rants.

You're probably not hearing back
because you're not available on a weekend day, which all companies want you to work. There isn't enough work to go around for a Monday through Friday day shift.
2 years, and we're just now hearing about it?
when my job was outsourced after 17 years of loyalty and crap pay hourly.
I make way more now! Way, way more!
Union - thanks but no thanks.
Why don't you start your own board with this line of bull and see if it flies. Give us the website where for 2 years this has all been in the works? If it's so great, it should be public information right? So we can sign right up? No dues?
