Some companies are constantly hiring and training; therefore

In Reply to: Bait and switch? Hard dictators? Easy accounts? - Observer
the old faithful MT's are left with the yuk so that the new MT's can be training on the not-so-yuky dictators, then comes along another MT to train, and on and on the cycle goes.
The company I am with stated 35 percent ESL's, but that is totally impossible, unless I am getting the whole 65 percent ESL's. There just does not seem to be any consistency with regards to work flow in pools. That is what I have observed. I guess I should get my own doctors/accounts in order to make that happen, right?

A couple hundred U.S. Constantly hiring, but i bet constantly losing them, too. sm
Who knows how many offshore MTs they have at their training center.
They are constantly hiring. They also use a
company called Transcription Matchmaker to help with hiring, so while they may not be advertising themselves, they are still hiring. I don't think they are still offering the sign-on bonus, but if they are you need to read the fine print. The majority of the companies that offer sign-on bonuses only pay a percentage over a years' time - so in the long run a decent line rate is better than a sign-on bonus and an average line rate.
Why are they constantly hiring?
NM
We post frequently for a couple of reasons. Not only are we constantly hiring for new business, but
regularly keeps your ad near the top of the list. In my experience, we get far more responses when our ad is in the first ten. Hope that helps explain it.
Good point - companies that constantly run ads

I think that a lot of companies hire constantly for different reasons and you need to sm
look at the variables. I plan on applying with KS when their next ad comes out for several reasons. I was hesitant because it seems they are always hiring, but if a company has a lot of new accounts, they need a lot of new MTs. I talked to them about a year ago, and they had 200 MTs. Now I have heard 300 and then recently 500. Obviously, they are hiring for growth reasons.
On the other hand, the company I am with now has fewer accounts and fewer MTs than a year ago. They lost a huge account to KS (I called a friend of my at the hospital and asked) but have not told us yet. I hope to be able to get in to work on the account with them. I was told that the account left XXX because of poor TAT and quality (not me, I asked that too!) and that KS is actually more expensive but that another hospital in their group is very happy.
What companies pay for training? TIA :) nm
I think you will find that not many companies pay training. sm
I have only been on one or two that do in the last 8 years. Most pay production from the beginning. I could be wrong, but I think this is the norm. Good luck.
Most companies have a 2 week training period and if meeting
production and QA one can opt out of it early.
Companies that have training for new hires - do most pay by hour during 1-2 weeks? any info? nm

Companies hiring PT?
Does anyone know of an organized and good company hiring very part time MTs or about 10 hours per week, mainly weekends? I'd hate to test for them all if they ultimately want 20 or more hours. TIA!
Get used to it. Companies are hiring more MTs to

Any companies other than MQ that use DQS that are currently hiring.
Precyse Solutions uses a similar platform and it is VERY user friendly. They currently have openings. I work for them and absolutely love them. Used to work for MQ.
What's up with companies hiring ICs and...sm
then telling them they need to adhere to a strict schedule? Their desire to classify a worker an IC is so they don't have to pay any taxes or give any benefits, equal to about $0.02 a line. Nevertheless, they also do not want to pay the IC at a higher rate to compensate for this. The schedule part is what gets me the most though. My only reason for being an IC is the flexibility it affords me.
Any decent companies hiring?
Does anyone know of a good MT company that is hiring? Here is what I am looking for...
Flexible schedule
Taxes taken out
Differential if shift work is required
Software that allows decent line counts
THANKS!
Companies that are hiring for VR editors? Anyone know of any?
Thanks
Many companies are hiring MTs, QA people etc as
recruiters.
Any companies hiring for op reports?
My company seems to have dried up.
Companies hiring dial up
I swore I posted this but cannot find it. Are there any companies hiring for ICs that will let you use dial-up? I would love to work at my inlaws cottage this summer but they can't get high speed access. Thanks.
It seems to be the new trend - many companies hiring
inexperienced people or clerks (if you will) to manage MTs. It's definitely now all about money, folks. Never thought I'd see the day where folks would take approximately 10 bucks an hour, be paid salary, and work 60 hrs a week, but they are! You have to hand it to them though, this will definitely build up their resumes for the future. Can you imagine who will be managing the industry in say ten years? For once I AM GLAD I'm old. lol
Which companies use EditScript? and are they hiring? nm

Any companies that use DocQscribe hiring PT ICs?
The sound quality at DSG seems to get more awful each day.
Any companies hiring for M-F work
I have 10+ years of experience as an MT and need to have a Monday through Friday schedule because that is what works with my kids, school, and their summer sports. Are there any companies hiring experienced MTs for M-F work? Thanks
Does anyone know of good companies hiring for QA... sm
.... with hourly pay? Thanks.
Doesn't mean they are HIRING; most companies sm
continue to accept applications even when they have no positions open. That way they are ready for the future and have a list of approved applicants when accounts come on-line.
any companies still hiring statutory employees? nm

Anybody know of companies hiring that aren't advertising? nm

Any companies hiring part-time?
I need flexibility. Willing to do a certain number of lines every pay period. I started with MedScribe of NJ and already they run out of work and seem to be dodging my emails about a secondary account. Afraid I made a bad choice.....
Any companies hiring with BCBS as the insurance?
If there are, do they pay well? By well I mean 9-10 cpl.
Any companies hiring for 300 lines a day and very flexible with hours? SM
I am looking to work for a company who is looking for some overflow help, 300 lines a day. I am willing to give and take a little in regards to the work schedule. If some days there is not enough to get 300 lines that is fine and if some days there is an abundance of work and you may require more from me, that is fine also.
I would love to find a company who uses a transcription-friendly software like DocQScribe (not sure of spelling) or Inscribe. I am also looking for a flexible schedule, where I can just hop on throughout the day and transcribe.
Does anybody know of such a company? I would be more than grateful to hear of any.
Thanks so much!!!!
Because of the shortage of work, we don't want our companies hiring more people. nm

Anyone else feel that these companies that are hiring should hire more recruiters?
So perhaps we'd hear something back within a reasonable amount of time! 
Good companies hiring for clinic work
Know any good companies hiring for clinic work? I'd rather get lower pay for clinic and have a higher line count than stress out over acute care at this point.
anyone know of companies that use Dictaphone ExText that might be hiring IC status?
any info appreciated.
Any companies hiring out there for Psych/Behavioral Med Clinic/Acute?
 I'm looking specifically for a primary account in this specialty. Any ideas? Clinic or acute would be okay, and I'd prefer PT, but would consider FT if the hours were right... just thought I'd check in here and see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!
Their training schedule kind of got backed up and so far the only training..(sm)
I've had is one short Bayscribe session. But I extended my 2 week notice at Medquist and I have until July 17 now to get some training in at MDI and do some reports to get familiar with the platforms. I'm looking forward to it!
I can't say enough about their training team. Excellent training!
The people at Medware are all just great. I wish I would have joined the Medware family sooner! They are very flexible and caring!
do you mean company training or med transcription itself training?
nm
what training? no training for me, first day they Tried to give me 2 ESL....
nm
they did not come up first. An hour of training is not really training.

I Don't know why you constantly
get on her and bash Axolotl. You must have some sort of personal grudge.
OMG you crack me up constantly
Thanks for the laugh!
i am constantly amazed
at how MW can make such a good impression on new employees, but then they are good at doing that. you have not worked for these people long enough to see how they really are, obviously!
Please tell me where I have constantly bashed
Axolotl. Do you have me confused with someone else?
They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible. You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines. The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst. I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice. I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience. The rules change constantly. QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning. I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed. Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon. I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady. I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work. It's sure not the case. Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?
