In Reply to: I know someone who applied and was hired SM - what I know
So I guess it must be their way of doing things. This was a year or so ago though. I only stayed with them about 7 months. They are definitely a ball and chain type job. There is a time clock you must clock in and out of all day long, even bathroom breaks. They are a real stickler for making sure your line count and your hours match up. I always met my requirements but it was just too much of a headache to keep up with.

Me, too, but I think it was because I applied to a FutureNet ad, which is also Spheris. nm

Job offer from Spheris
I am supposed to start training with Spheris very soon. I am wondering who is currently working for them and what their thoughts are on this company. I have been waiting to hear back from another company and need to start working very soon, which is why I took this job offer. I have yet to start training, but I am still confused. I was hoping if someone could help me out and give me some advice.
The pay isn't what I really expected being from a national company, but I am still a newbie having only been out of school for 7 months. I am not sure why they want you to pick 3 different time slots to choose from when choosing your days and what times you will work.
Anyway, thank you for listening, and if anyone can give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated! 
Job offer with Spheris
I was just told by Spheris that I would be expected to do MT and VR. I have never done VR and I thought they would only give that to people who had been working there a while.
job offer with spheris, anyone work for them?
they want me 2nd shift, 50% VR and 50% transcription so they say.
Any good things about this company? anyone?
Spheris Canada...Applied on line per instructions but problems with template...
After completing page 1 it flips to page 2 and asks you for to choose a State...obviously I'm in Canada (for which page 1 had that option). I am hoping this did not screw up my application.
I am very experienced so I am sure they would contact me...Checked out their web site and there is only a general inq # to call.
Is anyone working with the Canada (Ontario) Division...is it all through US head office....any insight ?
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
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
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was
Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms! Horrible. And part of a team? Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.
Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions. MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris. Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests. Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked. Spheris is a great company. After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask. There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of. I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
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.
Okay, thanks. I had applied and now sm
have three other offers but was trying to hold out until I heard something from this company. I guess they don't need the help as ASAP as their ad would imply.
Just applied to MDI...sm
and got a response that they are hiring for night, evening, and weekend positions - not what I was looking for - so maybe everyone is trying the same thing, to only work days. I am running out of work as a hospital employee. It's very frustrating, so instead of waiting for work there, I am trying to accrue more IC accounts and going off on my own...at least then I can dictate my own hours. Thanks for the info!
applied
sent resume never heard assumed that I didn't have what they wanted, although they seemed to be looking for everything.

I just applied with KS and sm
received a very nice e-mail from them on January 22 that said they absolutely DONOT hire part-time MTs.
I also applied there
took the test, did amazing according to the person on the transcription part, missed 1 also on the written, but then they would not accept my schedule. GO FIGURE. Tired of trying.
Where have you all applied?
It is crazy how they treat us. I was applying like crazy last summer and gave up. The stress involved was horrible.
I do believe that the companies have A LOT of applicants lately and the only way to get noticed is to keep e-mailing or calling them.
I guess it is the nature of the beast.

No, I never even applied with them
I got a job at another company right away. Honestly, I never even finished the program. I got most of the way through it and then I had to find income and pay my mortgage. I got lucky enough to find the first company I worked for. It was good experience, pay was peanuts, and God bless my mother who loaned me some $$ to actually pay the bills.
I just applied, thank you nm!!!!!
