I have spent the last hour doing research on offshoring of medical transcription.  This is one of the sites that I found and now they do our taxes and legal stuff too?  Some of the ones I found also offshore to Russia and China!  Check this link out and look to the right of the page to see what else they are doing.  They even listed some of the MTSOs and will sell you articles and information on their plan of action or whatever they call it.

I was part of a package that Transcend purchased. We were all assured there would be no changes, which was initially true for several months........then the massive offshoring became more and more noticable. One account would have hundreds of jobs in the evening; at 5 AM there was nothing left and if there were any jobs available they were  very difficult dictators. 

It got to a point where any audible dictator was offshored and there were no decent dictators left. You also had to be flexible waiting for work. Sometimes you would have to wait 4-5 hours for jobs to be available. Then your health insurance was revoked for not meeting your quota.

My advice is  that you have no choice, give them a try. Maybe your luck will be better. If you do have job currently, I would not consider changing.

Good luck!

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.

Are there ever any supervisory/recruiter positions

posted here?

I've read quite a few posts about recruiting lately, and I have a question.

I have three teens, myself, and my husband in the house. When any of us have applied for a job we don't expect a response if we don't meet the employers needs. From applications to Starbuck's, to Abercrombie, to the Department of Energy, to private research and develoment firms, to major and minor MTSOs, none of us feel slighted if our responses aren't responded to EVER, much less immediately. So, I'm having trouble understanding the sense of entitlement that some MTs seem to have regarding what they are owed from recruiters. Have these people never applied for any other jobs? Do the same people complain if the corner Quik-Mart doesn't respond to them promptly regarding a cashier position? Is there something wrong with companies simply deciding not to hire on the MTSOs timeline, or hiring ever? I just don't get the sense of they owe me that seems to run through the thought processes.

My husband makes well over $100,000 a year, my kids make well under $3000 a year, and none of them (nor me) expect a response if we don't fit the needs of the company. So, what gives with  these MTs, and why is a response demanded by them in this industry, but seemingly no other? 

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. 

how do you find jobs ?  Do not see a lot of postings for recruiters.  Thanks.

for the Editor position?

I took a test that took an hour.  A recruiter contacted me to interview on the phone.  Another 35 minutes.  Then I was told that I would take another specialty test.  Then after that the people at a specific MD IT location would like to talk to me.  I spent one hour and 35 minutes.  I cannot see spending more time than that without being able to ask some dang questions like what the pay is... recruiter did not know, only that it was by the audio hour!!!???  No info about scheduling.

Are we so desperate that we will give a company 2 hours of our time without knowing what is in it for the slave?

This is crap!
