That's probably most of them except for the top 5-7 that advertise over and

Yes, we DO advertise for MT's!
Why do you thik it's so? It's because we are getting new accounts each and every week. How do you like them apples? It's because we have very high standards and have to replace those who can't cut it. Its because we LOVE giving people work when they are in need of work to earn a living for their families, and we have plenty for them to make a very good living. We have a huge recruiting team because we are always in search of the best, the brightest, the most ethical, the most honest, the hardest working and the most successful of all the MT's around. We are NOT interested in those who spend hours chating in various gripe boards when you should be typing. It clearly explains why either you are NO longer here, or why you couldn't get here in the first place.
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

They sure advertise like crazy!
Hope its cuz they have lots 'O work?
Trying to Advertise my letter...
in the Toledo Blade myself. They told me that the advertising managers will have to review my article and decide if they will let me do it. I don't know what it will cost to do it, but I am sure going to try!!!!
I will send it to Lou Dobbs now.
Transhealth-They used to advertise all the sm
time here for MTs, haven't seen an ad in forever. Wonder why?
They seem to advertise a good bit .... SM
often on MTJobs.com which is where their current ad is.
They used to advertise they pay scale as -
9-11 cpl. PRN status is 7.5 cpl. From what I heard recently, they are trying to lower their MT pay expense (not investment), so if you ever were to get off 9 cpl it would surprise me.
The good ones don’t advertise? Then why, tell me
when I looked at the listings for jobs at only the 10th one down I found an ad from Transcend? I guess they have to go over to the bad companies, right for advertising?
Email the website where they advertise for MTs - sm
They will remove them from future advertising as they are reputable website.
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I have never heard anything negative about them to my recollection though.
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I know their recruiter left and I really have not seen any ads. They do have a banner on this site though.
When I advertise, I give all that information as
well as all information related to the job.
I worked for one company once that had their pre-canned ads. I hated them because they told nothing. They did give their website, but it was way old.
I agree that all companies that advertise for MTs need to give their website
How did you come to apply with them? I have never heard of them or seen them advertise.
Wish you the best though
Could someone please explain to me how Focus can advertise for a QC
when they just laid off a bunch of people and told them they had nothing to offer them but transcription?
P.S. - I don't even know why they are allowed to advertise on this board because....sm
their US QA gets audited by guess who??? The team leaders which are not from the US and are based overseas....lovely, eh?
We want companies to advertise - not drive them away.
Please do not mock their offers.

They will advertise and talk hourly, but sm
when the actual offer comes, it is BY LINE ONLY. M.L. is posting on any web site that will have him about his job openings and they are now so desperate they will take an MT with only 8 months experience.
does Amphion advertise that they now offshore?
nm
Was I dreaming or did a certain company advertise for ESL MTs at 15 to 20 cpl a week or so ago and
now it's suddenly 9 to 13 cpl? I tried to take their test and one of the questions they asked was what you were making. 
Maybe I was dreaming. I copied the ads I applied to and that one seems to be missing.
Instead of only applying with companies that advertise heavily,
try Googling for transcription companies, perhaps in your home state, and go to their websites. They usually have a way to apply on their website, and they won't be receiving 300 resumes the same day yours arrives. Send your resume to several and you might hit the timing right with one or two, or perhaps they will keep your resume for when they do have an opening.
Did you see that they want 9 test files done??!! And they advertise as a Global
s
I though offshore companies could not advertise on this site?
Guess I am wrong about that.
I never see any postings about Accuscribe of SC. They evidently don't advertise (sm)
for help much, that could be a good thing.
Any info?
http://www.ustranscription.com/....they advertise on a different job board...nm
;o)
I personally don't advertise in the Yellow Pages because I was getting a lot of sm
calls from housewives who know how to type *real good*. Or people who wanted to do this because they saw in a magazine that you can make a lot of money in your free time!
Why do companies advertise for jobs if they have no work?
I lost my job with a big offshoring company a couple of months ago. I knew it was coming so I started applying for jobs and sending my resume for posted jobs. The company that hired me responded to my resume submission within 2 HOURS and I was hired the next day. They had an immediate need, speciality I love, good pay. Now, a couple of months later I am getting calls and e mails from companies that I applied to months ago. One recruiter said, I don't know when we received your application, it was probably 90 days ago. During this same time period I have seen the Q advertise twice, claiming they have steady work (????) Of course, after reading posts here I would not even consider any offer from them. A lady from Spheris e mailed and ask that I let her know a time I could interview some time in the next several weeks.
I don't get it. If you do not have work, why are you posting jobs? I would consider this a big red flag.
Transcend does. If you look, they advertise on the Jobs board but they admit that
they send work overseas.
They advertise on the "other" jobs board. Lots of posts about them here. nm
s
Just curious why Focus Infomatics is being allowed to advertise here. Totally Indian-ran.
Ok. When will you start?
When do you start?
When were you hired and when do you start. Curious about how long it takes to get started.
when did you start??
Lots of inconsistencies here, when did you start?
DEFINITELY start looking!! nm
x
I'd start looking sm
for something else if I were you. There are plenty of jobs on the job board. It wouldn't hurt to start applying.
Just my opinion.
they start at 0.065, not 0.06
nm
What do they start at on ASR (VR) nm
x
7.5 cpl to start
Oh yes, when do I start having fun?
We have had cable for some months with Charter. I had AT&T and got tired of paying for this and that, too much. My husband could be sold a swamp in Florida- listed to the folks at Charter, new and improved. We got internet and land phone in day before New Years and now have had them over here probably a total of 5 or 6 times since then. Do not even try calling anyone with their company- no service place uses India- I called the other day and some person named American name kept going over something I was not talking about - 3times and I finally asked are you in India. I said my question is....... what word in that sentence do you not know? I finally frustrated hung up. Not a good service place AFTER you get.
I would start looking for new job...
Just left a company who docked me pay because of not changing demographics in program (not Word). This was after working there a year, getting calls early in the am to do stats and other fun things. If you smell smoke, there is usually a fire.
where do I start?sm
I worked for them up until February of this year. Management was unapproachable, at best. Paychecks ran a few days late every paycycle and were frequently inaccurate in the line counts.
I do understand that a lot of the people causing all of the hub-bub there are now gone, and I have a friend working there who is pretty happy that she made the transition. I guess everyone's experience will be different.
Start with an A?
nm
I think they start at 7 or 8
Yes you do not start out as a QA
nm
Start looking
It's not what you said. I agree with every bit of it. It's how you said it.
Start looking
Is it necessary to speak so harshly to a fellow MT? I am willing to bet that a few kinds words would have been more helpful to this person that the heavy-handed diatribe. Now is the time for kindness and compassion, not condemnation, don't you think? Have a merry Christmas.
Where do I start...
Fiona, what do you know from Adam? You have gone off on some huge rant that is totally unrelated to my post ...talking about Detroit and Repugs and all sorts of nonsense. Just because *you* are not happy and *you* are not making a good living does not mean that *you* represent the entire industry. I'm doing just fine, thank you.
so you think its ok to start sm
a post with I will explain it for the 100th time and end it with do you understand now
Yes I have followed all these posts and the rudeness is overwhelming! I would much rather hire the person who asked the question that ticked x off so much than X herself!
I really don't care what you think about anything I have said but I would not treat any employee like that nor would I talk down to anyone asking a question or posting an opinion. It seems to me like a lot of the folks on this board just want to scream and complain. I realize the economy stinks. There are many places where the work load is down and its going to get worse. As the economy gets worse and people have no insurance the demand for elective surgery and medical care goes down, thus our jobs.
What I have seen in over 30 years is that the ones who scream the loudest are the ones that have 1-3 years limited experience They scream about getting OP notes, ESL dictators and any other thing they don't like. Instead of screaming about the content, MTs should decide they are going to learn to do every single type of transcription. I realize it is different working for a hospital than a MT service. I do not agree with all this switching around on accounts for the MTs either. It just makes a mess. You have frustrated MTs making no money because they can't stay on one account, frustrated MTSOs because people are complaining (rightfully so) and frustrated clients because the work is either not done or the quality is very bad. You cannot be at top level doing 10 different accounts in a day.
On the other hand, the only solution that I know of, in this economy, is to keep it all inhouse, pay the employees benefits and a decent wage with incentive pay. Even with that, there will be those who want and need the flexibility of being an IC or an employee working from home.
Sorry, but X did not have to respond as she did. Makes me wonder why folks with this kind of attitude cannot see why they are not getting jobs! It also makes me wonder if, as students, they really thought that when they went into the working world of MT IF things were going to be as they were in school, i.e., dictation, difficulty of dictation, quality of sound, etc. Probably not. The real world of MT is not as being taught in school. Personally I think things should go back to on-the-job training with a minimum of 5 years experience in house acute care before being able to work at home unsupervised. The schools that are advertising 4-6 months of schooling and you are an MT ready to start your own business have destroyed this profession and created a whole lot of prima donnas in my opinion!
You did not start over 9 cpl at DSG
First of all, why not enter your actual name and not hide behind that name, ConnieW. Second of all, you nor your friend were hired at over .09 cpl. I think you're just trying to start trouble.
Not to start anything here but
I consider a lot of money to be a bonus at AIG or even a yearly management salary while employed at most of these bailed out companies. Thanks guys, we are all paying taxes to support you folks and your outlandish lifestyles.
I don't have a college degree in business but I really do think I could get one of these same companies into the same mess, not have to work very hard at all (certainly not as many hours as I put in as an MT) but get a RAISE AND A BONUS - which I certainly don't get as an MT and ya got it, a bonus.
I would start looking
I was in a similar situation. Management said they didn't want to lose any of us. They USED us to keep the account current and then left us high and dry. If I could go back, I would have started looking for opportunities right away. As my mother always said, It never hurts to look.
