I applied and the recruiter called

In Reply to: Florida - I'm being contacted by them - anon
I had a phone interview, after that a typing test. They made an offer and I accepted and have been there about a month, so far so good. My Expander converted, they use direct deposit and my pay is by direct deposit so all of those were big issues for me. It's only been a month but I have alway had work. They use a DVI system and I use InstaText so that part was easy. I still have a side job but I think I will alway keep that I have typed him for so long.

I applied and they called back...
when I wasn't home and left a msg. When I called back, the person answering the phone didn't even want to take my name and number, but did so when I suggested it might be a good idea. Never heard another word... which probably says something, right???
Recruiter called while I was out (sm)
I guess I need to be more patient!
I applied, was called and hired for the account I was on at QT. nm
no msg
No one called the recruiter a cheater.

The last 3 I applied for called ALL of mine! I did give 'em a head's up, tho'. :) nm
.
I was offered 0.9 cpl, but recruiter never called back
The recruiter told me she would call me back later on the same day and never did. I called her bluff. How sad!!
Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no
results I went over her head. Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week. I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd. Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day.
No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.
Just Me
No one called you a joke, just called the post a joke because
we all know better, but you're entitled to your opinion. You're the one insulting saying those of us who don't like SS probably couldn't cut it and that is the reason for our complaints. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who ever worked for SS to agree with you about how wonderful they are. They aren't getting new accounts, yet they always have an ad running - umm, let me think why that is.
When I was called ...
I called Corporate back. I asked why were getting a call to verify we had received the letter. I was told that they wanted to verify the correct addresses for every employee, making sure each had received the letter, because our packets will be mailed out on 9/30 and are individualized as far as our base rates.
Personally, I would imagine that they have reviewed years of experience of MTs as well as the difficulty of accounts, as they have already stated, and come out with a tiered level of base rates -- the more experience you have the higher your rate as well as the more difficult the account you work on, the higher the pay...pay commensurate with experience and difficulty of work.
I bet if you called them they
would tell you.
They just called me AGAIN!!!
OMG! I am going insane! I just got yet ANOTHER call from a different person at SPI saying that she got a call from the hospital that I used to transcribe for saying that they had all these stat reports that were way out of TAT and no one at all on that account was working! Go figure! We all quit!!!! I don't know how much more I can take of these calls. I told her that I had better not receive anymore of these calls as I have made it more than clear that I don't work there anymore and haven't in 5 months!!! UGH!!!
Yes, it was a little different for me at first, too, but I called
Wendy and she explained it to me. Pretty simple now. Give her a call. She is always extremely helpful. Good luck.
Have you called them? They are more than
a little disorganized lately, but a phone call seems to take care of the problem.
Someone called me...
The female I spoke with asked if I could produce 1300 lines/day (I said yes). She asked about my computer system (it met the required specs). She asked if I had an updated Cardiology book (I said yes). She said someone would call me soon--that was last month.
some guy called....
and he expected me to start right then and there-no paper work, contract, nothing. What made it worse, in the middle of him explaining the system and wanting me to start then, he kept telling me to hold on because he kept getting calls. He finally said he would call me right back (in the middle of me learning the system). I never answered his call.
called
Jim also called me for radiology hire. Anyone out there ever work for them? So many out there that just are not worth the aggravation
Called them...
I called Silentype today, as is my practice when I am job hunting to call and see how their office is run etc. I asked for HR/Recruiting and was told No I'm sorry, not today... and they hung up. What a bunch of idiots, what if I were an MD calling for some reason to speak with HR about a specific MT? SKip them :)
It's also called
supply and demand. There are so many MTs out of work and looking right now that they don't need to pay top dollar, even to the cream of the crop. There are too many MTs to choose from.
They called me...
I think thats what the meeting was going to be about too
HUH? I just applied with them.
Thank you to all who applied.
Great responses and experiences. Thanks.:)
Thank you! I have applied but sm
haven't heard anything yet. Just curious.
Is that why you applied?
just applied
 Good luck to you. The test was easy. I did 100%. 
Just applied also and took
the tests. Hopefully this a good company. Still waiting to hear from Keystrokes..... For being desperate to find transcriptionists for their radiology accounts, they sure take a long time getting back to you!
No, I actually just applied there myself. nm

Anyone applied to JLG? Ad says they need 100 MTs. (sm)
I have to assume they are growing big time to need this many MTs added to their work force.
I can't find any recent info on this company. Any help appreciated.
Applied
I agree, there's nothing to lose. I already applied. As well as being an MT I also do insurance claims typing and it really isn't that hard. You just have to be able to type verbatim including um's and ah's. I get paid by the page now so to me it seems the pay may be actually better than what I'm getting now.
Anyone else applied to JLG? (sm)
Was told there were some changes and they would call and talk to me before the official offer letter was sent. The lady I interviewed/tested with was very pleasant and I am guessing very busy. Anyone else have input? I know I can't be the only one who applied.
Actually, I had never applied to them...
or even heard of them before I received the e-mail, and I have been happily employed for 6 years for the same company, so it is a mystery.
When I applied with TRS the -
recruiter couldn't even explain how pay rate was determined. He told me is personal life story, which I thought was very unprofessional. I found a job elsewhere.
I just applied
I just applied there myself. Do you know if the insurance is affordable there? They sound like they have good benefits from looking at their website.
I applied too
I haven't heard back and at first thought the pay was low. Then after I read the description of the work, it sounded too easy to get paid much more than that. Let me know if you hear back from them.. Thanks.
I must have applied to at least 20 of
the wrong companies as well - looked for about 6 months - IC or employee - didn't matter - 25+ years experience MTing and 5 QA, and best offer was about 8.75 cents...with huge daily requirements to hit that mark - one offer for IC at 10 cents which never materialized - company folded. Lots of 7 to 8 cents per line offers - several 6 cents per line - needless to say, I stayed with my day job! To me, the 10 cpl and 11 cpl offers are like unicorns - I have looked and looked, but never found one and am definitely thinking they are mythical. 
I applied....
for the pathology position. Never heard a word! I have 12 years pathology experience, so I know it wasn't because of lack of experience!
When I applied
They wanted this ridiculous itemization of where I worked as an IC over the past few years. Hello?
When I run into that type of red tape, I 'run'. (Because it's a sign of how they 'might' be if you were worked with them).
I don't have a problem providing a resume, and testing, but that was not enough to move the process along.
I have applied to several
I have usually always heard back. But I don't go by the job seekers board and found out who is advertizing for employment I just read the company board and apply to the company I find has the better reviews. It just seems to me that they are all always hiring.
I just applied also!
I have never heard of this company, but orthopedics is my favorite specialit7. Sounds like a new company to me.
I Applied
I applied with them over a week ago and never got any response. I have 7 years of MT experience which included dermatology, so I'm not sure why I never heard anything.
Have you applied?
Hi Little Bear,
Thank you. Believe me, I am thanking my lucky stars in heaven for this one. I needed the benefits so badly and they just seemed like a wonderful place to work. I will definitely let you know how it turns out. Have you applied there?
I got one too and just applied! sm
They said the list was from AHDI.
I just applied
and missed 2 on the test. I do not know if that is good or bad.
Anyone who applied
for the jobs posted recently by p.r.n. Transcription or Phoenix Medcom heard back from them yet? I applied the same day they posted the jobs, but have not heard back and yet I am a very well-qualified transcriptionist.
I applied but don't know anything either
/
We must have applied for the same job.
nm
I applied too.
I got the same 2 emails and was wondering the same thing. I am thinking it is a scam.
I applied for the ......sm
clinic ad when it first came out, and was offered a position yesterday for acute care TU-SAT, which I gladly accepted. I start training soon. This is my second time applying with them. You have 5 years experience over me in acute care so hopefully you will hear something soon. Good luck
I applied
I got a phone call a day later and talked to a real nice lady. She sent me an e-mail as well telling me more about SoftScript saying that they are adding 12 more accounts and are very busy. They said that I would need a WAV pedal which I do not have so I would have to invest in one because they do not supply that. I don't know how much money this entails. They claim to keep work here in the U.S.
I have read on this board that SoftScript has a picky QA staff. I am not sure that is a bad thing, it can be but not always. If I am doing something wrong, I want to know so I can stop.
I myself am definitely going to keep SoftScript in mind but I had applied to 1 more I have not heard from yet. I will give them a few more days and make a decision then.
