I tested and passed Med-Tech, interviewed and was told they had opening- but I guess

I made the mistake of typing the name IC as "individual" contractor, and the recruiter e-mailed me back with the corrected "independent" contractor, and later sent an e-mail and said they were not hiring and that if anything should become available, they would contact me. I have since found that they have hired since that time, but no one ever contacted me again. I figure it was "their loss", not bragging or boasting, but I know I would have been an asset to the company. IMO
They seem to be a pretty together company though. I occasionally go to their website and read their quarterly "whatever you call it," and they always have interesting information in their for transcriptionists, and about the company, and the QA standards and goals. I would love to have worked there. I hear they have good benefits too.

I tested and did not pass and tested again 6 months later and passed. I think that more and more s
companies are testing MTs for various reasons.
You say that you work for them and keep posting. Why do you stay if you are so unhappy? I love my account and lead but it seems that you do not like being at KS at all.
Different strokes for different folks. Why continuously post compaints without doing anything about it?
I tested/interviewed with them once, or tried to -
we scheduled a phone conference to discuss the opening they had no less than five times and kept having to reschedule it at the last minute - very irritating.
The poster said she had never tested, never interviewed, so
how can she test badly and mess up the interview?
I'm a person you have bashed in the past, you remember firing me, yada, yada, yada. You don't even know who I am. I only dealt with H and when I called him to give my notice he begged me to stay, offered to pay me whatever I wanted to stay.
I'm not sure what your problem is, but if anyone looks through past posts about SS there are 10 negatives for every positive, and most of the positives have a management tone to them.
I laughed about your quality statement. When I was in QA the MTs were horrendous. Mary at MTDaily asked me if SS offshored work. I told her the quality was so bad that it was quite possible.
I just hope anyone considering SS decides after reading your post that they don't want to waste their time.
I tested with them and passed.
I got an e-mail from Cymed congratulating me and they would be in contact but I never heard from them since. That was about a month ago. My advice is if you plan on working for them you keep in touch with them.
I tested and passed. They are a waste
of time. I hate the job and looking elsewhere.
I tested for Focus and they said I passed. I was offered a QA position at.... see msg
6 cents per line for 1st and 2nd shifts and 7 cents per line for the graveyard shift. This was an offer for QA/QC, not VR; I made sure of this. I didn't accept the job because of the posts on this board. I cannot afford to waste my time at yet another, as stated here, fraudulent company. I've just been through one such as this and am currently in the middle of another, which has cost me weeks of pay.
That's exactly what I told my BF last night, opening the boxes...
I'm in CA and it took 4 days FedEx ground from TX. Maybe yours will come even sooner. I'm waiting for the tech to call me as I write this so my email, etc., can be set up and then my training date/time scheduled.
Congrats to BOTH of us :-)
I just interviewed and was told
after 3 months if you have hit the 11,000 lines they require per pay period as full time you get $500 and then you get the other $500 after 6 months of doing the same.
I just interviewed there and that's not what I was told for
s
I interviewed with them and told there is, I believe, a $20 rental
fee for a year, but if you are still there at the end of a year employment they refund the rental fees.
I interviewed a few months ago and was told:
First off, the recruiter/interviewer was so darned nice, incredibly down to earth, and an absolute pleasure to talk to. After talking with them, I was really bummed I wouldn't be working for them because this interviewer person was just so real and someone I would love to know outside of work, ya know? It wasn't just all robot-business speak, which is refreshing like you wouldn't believe.
Anyway, I was asked what I was looking for and said I needed to make a guaranteed minimum of 7000 lines per pay week, as I was sole suport for my household, and that I loved where I was now but was only looking to change employers because I needed benefits.
In an incredibly kind gesture of goodwill towards a fellow workhorse, I was told it would most likely never happen (the volume of work available to consistently earn a high line count), as this field has slow periods, as you must know, and a steady amount of work can never be guaranteed and that, for your situation, you would be best off with your current employer with no benefits and a plentiful work supply. The mention of 30% VR and increasing day-by-day was also a huge put-off for me because, well, I hate that crap...and don't let anyone fool you, for the money you earn, it is most indeed crap and the joke is on the MT.
This place has a great pay rate, great benefits, but unfortunately the work flow cannot be guaranteed. Scary prospect indeed when one can't work just for fun money for shoes and crap. I couldn't believe the honestly and I was so appreciative of that.
I just interviewed with them, they told me a 1-hour window flexibility.
.
Had interviewed and was then told I'd need a second line, w/o reimbursement. Make sure you ask! I
s
I was told I passed the test and they wanted to hire me then...sm
they called me the next day and said they were on a hiring freeze and my name would be put on the waiting list. I have accepted another position as I don't have time to just wait on a list. I have bills to pay and mouths to feed.
There was a Vicki too that was at a few companies, but I heard that she passed away. I guess it is
I don't think small companies need recruiters, and I think the big ones have all shared them over time!
When I applied and tested they then told me they did not hire IC at least the person I talked to
said that. I had applied because someone else said they did hire IC. So I actually dont know if they do or do not hire IC.
About 1-1/2 years ago I tested, aced it, heard back, only to be told with....sm
28 years of experience, formal college education, experience in all areas, all work types, etc., that I would be started at 6cpl, then if I got off probation at around 3 months, I could make 6.5 cpl, and then another six months later perhaps 7cpl. Set hours, you can guess, I passed this one over very QUICKLY, and also informed them nicely that if they wanted truly good, top-notch, first-rate MTs (as their ads say), then they really have to come up with a few more CPL, that what they were offering for someone with a perfect score and all the experience was actually an insult. They nicely said okay, let us know if you change your mind. Yea, right............
Tested there 10 days ago and never heard a word back..guess I failed! nm

A tech person at Transcend told
that they couldn't believe that anyone would build a platform with code that was so archaic and out of date, with parameters that could not be fixed without rebuilding the whole thing. I've worked on much more reliable platforms. They are out there.
Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
I just left MDI-MD, so there is an opening! nm

Anyone tried the ESL opening at Transhealth? sm
Curious as to how difficult it is.
Apply anyway. That way if they do have an opening come up
for days, they will have you in their database and the test will have already been taken. It couldn't hurt to try. I have a friend who just was hired to do ops there. Their rate is very good. Their application asks the times you are available and because you don't find MTs that like ops that often, I am sure they will be able to fit you in at some point. I would go for it. I hear they are a really nice company to work for.
Webmedx just had an opening for QA. sm
I justed interviewed with them about a week and a half ago for QA position, but turned it down because of the pay. Maybe they haven't filled it yet and since you can no longer transcribe, this might be an option for you.
OSi coordinator job opening again? Another
Same here. No issues opening them.

Again, VR is opening up that can of worms.
I answered on the other board, but mine was not moved so am reposting. As far as VR, I love it, others dislike it, even saying the hate word. I can make $20 and up per hour on the platform I use. From what I read here, some are not so lucky to have a very good system and it slows them down to where their pay has been cut to a large degree. I love escription, have used it now for about 4 years and really hate to straight type anymore. I find the ESLs, at least where I work, are so much easier with VR than having to sort through what they are trying to say. I will say how a system is trained and who works on it has all to do with what kind of reports you have. You could have almost perfect reports with a good system that has learned well and then you could get a clunker with loads on teaching the machine various ways and that is where the problem lies with VR.
Opening up that can of worms, once more
I stayed with a job that went to VR but not for 3 cpl. That is really low and I hate it is coming down to this at so many places. My straight pay is 8 cpl. Escription is a really good system. You will find all kinds of answers on here back and forth. This will never be settled, seems like. Some love, others despise. Some have good systems, others not so good. From just what I gathered reading MQ site, I don't think their platform was that good as many talked about how it always had same errors and never seemed to be different. I have been accused of being software promoter but like you and others I do MTing but just happen to like my job and VR.
Have you considered radiology tech or lab tech?
A lot of the credits you have acquired for nursing transfer to both of those programs. Probably a little less stressful.

Anyone having trouble opening posts?
sm
Let me get this straight. You were angry because they did not have an opening on the account that y
were they supposed to do, remove a current employee to make room for you? They can only hire for accounts that have openings. I don't think they were unwilling to work with you, as you think, but maybe that's all they had open at the time.
Some slice Indian businessman will be opening up his own MTSO
of the U.S. CEO. Then the real money is going to be saved. Don't MTSOs see this?
MODERATOR why is this company allowed to post a job opening here
when it's an offshore company??? They are looking for in-house MTs, and they are located in Pakistan...

Cooper has an opening in radiology. St. Christopher's hires in-house, but
I think they are in Philly.
Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft
s
I looked facility up on line - checked careers and found they had a current opening for MT there. (
That pretty much told me they did have inhouse. It was an MT position for acute care, not just one of the ancillary departments.
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!!!!
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

I interviewed with them.
I didn't want to wait a whole year before beginning to accrue PTO so I went elsewhere.
I interviewed with them sm
my current account was lost to Axo so I decided to interview with them - 7 cents a 65-character line (I have been on these accounts for 12+ years now - HA!) and work is a pool - you are not assigned a specific specialty or doctor so speed will be an issue because you're pulling up different templates, etc. They provide the computer/software platform (that's all I need - another computer - already working on 2!!) and I *believe* paycheck deduction was taken for that. You are an employee, not an IC and have to work a set schedule. You had to produce (I think) 1,500 lines a day (can't remember for sure - this was last year when I interviewed). When I asked what happens when I get that 1,500 lines done in, say, 6 hours, what do I do with the next 2 hours? The recruiter said I would keep typing, but they did not pay incentives for plus-production. I told the recruiter that definitely did not motivate me to work faster! I was also told they outsource and that's why the current MTSO lost the account (lower line rate). That being said, I was told in February 2004 (yep, year and a half ago) that the account would be switching over to Axo. I understand they have had multiple failed pilots. Keeping my fingers crossed that they continue to mess up my accounts so I can keep them!
I just interviewed with them and I am - sm sm
considering taking the job.
I interviewed with them
a year ago. They gave me a multiple choice oral terminology test. They were very nice. the downfall - I spent 2 hours on the phone with them, told me I did very well and even asked if I was certified because I impressed them and then they told me they were not hiring at the moment. I did just came across them from my own researching and sent in a resume and they called me. I now know to ask if the company is hiring during the first part of the interview!
I just interviewed with them
It seems odd they would be hiring if they can't provide work for current employees. I was interviewing for VR, maybe you should see if you can get on a VR account.
When I interviewed with them ....
They told me that they paid on a 55-character count line but not for spaces. I did not accept the job offer though because I had been offered something that turned out to be really great.
I interviewed with Axolotl. (sm)
In a nutshell, here is the deal: This is a company that you basically have to "chase down" in order to get a response. I have 17 years experience, and the only reason that I was able to get an interview is because I kept calling to follow up with the HR person. When I finally got an interview, she told me that she wanted to schedule a second interview with the manager of the transcription department. Well, 3 or 4 weeks later (I waited so long that I lost count), I finally heard from her. She apologized for taking so long to get back to me, and then she said, "I thought you would have found another position by now" (because it took her so long to get back to me). Anyway, for other reasons (and the fact that I felt I shouldn't have to kiss an employer's you-know-what to get an interview), I turned them down. So with this company, it has nothing to do with how qualified you are, it has to do with how patient you are, and whether you are willing to call and leave messages for someone to get back to you.
Well, both offshore. I have interviewed with both and been
offered positions with both, declined both. I have nearly 20 years' experience in acute care, can do any work type, ESLs, etc. I aced both tests. Cymed offered me 8 cpl and 8.5 cpl over 18,000/lines pay period.
Precyse lied to me and I wouldn't work for them if they were the only company out there. They pay based on if you are CMT or not, how many years experience, what shift, etc. I was offered about 10 cpl, but the account they wanted to put me on was one I had worked on when I was with YOG and it was an extremely difficult account. There are lots of posts about how Precyse ignores e-mails and that communication is very poor overall. They use IM and during the 2 or 3 interviews they stopped several times to answer IMs from team leaders.
I don't need insurance so didn't ask questions in regards to that.
Yes they do. I asked them when I was interviewed and they
relunctantly told me they did only if the client asks to. Now I'm sure they are going to the client and saying we'll offshore you're work if you want us to - NOT.
When I was interviewed by Heartland,
I was told that they were planning to stop offshoring and bring all the jobs back to the US.
