Some are overwhelmed

Some companies may simply be overwhelmed with applications. I know our company has been with each ad we place. It takes a while to go through hundreds of applications. When you have only a few people going through all the applications, plus doing the usual operation duties, plus training new hires, plus being heavily involved with bringing on new clinics, it does take time to get back to every applicant.
I'm not saying that is the case with all companies, but sometimes one person can only do so much in a day, hence the reason to hire more and delegate some those duties. In our case, growth has been rapid enough it can be a struggle to get it all done in a day--and mighty long days at that!
Just trying to give some explanation for the other side :) Good luck to you.

They have probably been overwhelmed with resumes since
they have been discussed so much lately. I sent a resume and was offered a position without testing within just a few days of submitting it. I accepted the position and they said it would take 1 to 2 weeks to get all the paperwork done, equipment, and get clearance from the account to access their system. I ended up not accepting the position so not sure how long it would really take to get going.
From your statement it seems like you are overwhelmed with ASR
I have been working on the same system now for about 5 years and no outsourcing on our job because of it. I still have corrections to make, numbering seems to be an issue some as I have been told the dictators when numbering should all say next and then the machine knows to go to the next number but the dictators do not always do that. I am saying I was told that, do not quote on that point. My pay was never cut 50%, I make over $20+ an hour on voice now and right from the start (again has to do with system and training) our system just seemed to be an exceptional one. Some people do not like, others like me love it. No I am not MTSO, never have been, no I have no stock in the company, no I am not a newbie (30+ years here) and no I am not a slow transcriptionist. Just thought I would answer all the come backs before they appear. The same ones appear over and over as to why a person could possibly like voice. If most at your company entered almost exactly alike, the machine would train itself. If everyone works differently, say 1 person indents for numbering, another does not, then there is the issue. Sorry you have had such unhappy time with your program.
I think this site is overwhelmed...
I don't think it has anything to do with your experience. Now granted I am a newbie and just landed my first job after months, and months of looking, but I only got 1, yes ONE response from anyone of of the job boards on here, and that was to tell me thanks, but we picked one of the other 250 applicants!! (And trust me I applied to EVERYTHING that didn't specify experience requirements for the past 4-5 months.) So I think this website has just become overwhelmed with people trying to find jobs, and the only way you have a shot is to be one of the first few that applies. The job I got was from just searching for local MT companies in my area, going on their website and sending them an email to see if they were hiring.....the place that hired me wasn't at the time, but two months later they emailed back and boom I was hired! I think it says more too if you seek them out and ask for a chance instead of just applying to a list of jobs on a board! Anyways, hope this helps! Good luck with your search!
I have had a similar experience - must be overwhelmed.nm

I imagine they are totally overwhelmed with applications right now.
I would give them a little bit of time to get back with you. I just can't phanthom the amount of applications they've probably received from those wanting to maintain a SE status. That's where I'm headed & actually looking forward to it. I wish you the best & hope you hear from them !!
Ugly! Don't know about Rad, but a bud of mine was overwhelmed with paperwork, pay was low, and it
