no work, it will catch back up. There are ebbs and flows with every company and I, for one, am not worried about it.

They are hiring because new accounts are coming on. sm
This will straighten out the work shortage everyone is feeling right now.
Someone asked in March and didn't get a reply, either. nm
s
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!
xx
That's what I did...called HR and asked them. They can tell you..(nm)
Have any other ex-OSiers been called and asked--
wondering if it is just me or they are really that desperate and calling all their previous employees. I left on good terms, but hated working for them.
I called and asked. There was an email last week. sm
They are making the official announcement next week is what I was told.
Yes, and new accounts coming on...sm
constantly.
Are all of the accounts coming from MQ ?
x
My STM said 3 accounts are coming in.
I don't know anything about the accounts, but I LOVE the enterprise platform. It is soooo easy. You don't hardly ever spend time pulling in pt information or other demographics. It all automatically populates. This is the best out of 5 platforms that I have worked on.
Congrats on the new hire. I started June of last year :)
Only a few accounts have gone to VR and one is already coming back. sm
I spoke with one of the managers in the office about a week ago, and she told me that there have been over 20 new radiology accounts since the first of the year with more than 25 more to start by the end of the year. I am not worried at all. When the account I was on for a few years went to Powerscribe in January, they put me on another account and I never lost so much as one day of work.
Transtech has new accounts coming soon
/
How do you know new accounts are coming on in the summer?
I have not received any email saying such to us MT's. I hope so, because work is really low during the week, a little more on the weekend usually. More and more of our work is going to voice recognition, leaving low volume of transcribing left to do.
This is an excerpt from a press release by Transtech management that I saw on the internet. Maybe those 20 MT's love the system, but the other 280 must not. I know I hate Dictaphone ExSpeech editing platform (and hate the pay that goes alogn with editing on that platform).
We started using the Enterprise Express Speech System in late October of 2007 and have already seen a 500 percent increase in speech-recognized drafted
reports. While just 20 members of our team of 300 transcriptionists
are using the system now, we plan to expand its use significantly. In
only 60 days we've seen dramatic productivity climbs and our team
loves the system.
WEBMEDX is getting all sorts of new accounts coming up. sm
Might want to apply to the 2007 and 2008 MT Employer of the Year!
Does Webmedx inform you when new accounts are coming on? (sm)
I know they recently were hiring and now the backload summary numbers are down on a lot of accounts (mine included). I am hoping they just hired in anticipation of new account and are training these people on the current accounts and things will improve after the new accounts come on. Am I dreaming?
I understand no company wants to pay OT and it is a balancing act to get the correct number of MTs on any given account. I just don't think they were hiring to overhire. They seem far too nice for that.
Sorry for blithering, main question was do they share info about upcoming new accounts?
Find out which accounts they are hiring for. They have some ESL accounts that are extremely
difficult to do. I dont know how many accounts they have altogether but as I say, a few are very difficult and I actually dont have a problem with ESLs but these accounts are almost totally ESL. I dont do them anymore.
Don't think that any of us asked if you were hiring
NM
Maybe they are tired of hiring so-called experienced people sm
wwho get someone else to test for them. Maybe they want to hear the correct answers straight from the horse's mouth so to speak...
I never got an email back when I asked if they were hiring. Good luck! nm
s
I have 15 accounts because I asked for that many.
Keeps me from getting bored. Some days, I only work on 1-2 accounts, others 4-5 accounts.
Lots of new accounts. I called the office to ask a question and sm
found out that there are more than a dozen new accounts starting in the next couple of weeks. I am happy at KS but anything is better than MQ. I left there a year ago and am very glad that I did.
I have 2 so-called primaries but type on 5 accounts every single day with all different specifics -
nm
Think they may be hiring for new accounts
someone I know recently hired by them - you should probably contact recruiter yourself and get things moving.
I think they are hiring for a few accounts but not VR. nm

MDI-FL hiring for eScription accounts
Hello all,
We just acquired three Escription accounts and our MTs LOVE THEM. Please e-mail me at Liz@medicaldictation.com or call me at 1-800-205-7047.
It is a fun program to work on.
Hope you are keeping safe down in Texas. God bless. We are all thinking of you guys in the way of that horrible storm.
Thanks,
Liz McGrogan
General Manager
Medical Dictation, Inc.
I see MDI MD is hiring again on MT jobs. Are they getting a lot of new accounts or is there
a turnover in people lately.
Anybody hiring for eScription accounts? nm
x
They are hiring for new accounts that are in place.
.
They way overhire. They do a big hiring for new accounts
and then when the dust settles there isn't enough work and a bunch leave. There are accounts with tons of work, but they are usually older accounts and for some reason they won't allow them to be used as backup accounts. Pay is better than most companies, but if you can't get your lines in it doesn't help. Pay always on time and if payday falls on a holiday pay is early.
They weren't a good fit for me, which turned out to be a good thing because I'm in a much better place now than I was with them, but I've worked for worse companies. If you are looking to work for one company I'd advise again that with Webmedx. I was only getting 12-15 hours in a week. I was always available my scheduled shift and was willing to work my days off, there just wasn't enough work.
Precyse Hiring for new accounts
I am an MT for Precyse and love the company. There is lots of work and the platform is very user friendly. A great place to work!
Transtech will be hiring for new accounts soon
//
Give them a call; they are hiring a lot lately for new accounts
and are probably a little behind.
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
I see JLG is still hiring. Is anyone newly working for them and how are the accounts they offer.
:
They've been hiring so much because they have two new GIGANTIC accounts that need to be staffed.
Between the two accounts they need something like 50 people. I wouldn't worry about it. A company CAN hire lots of people and still staff appropriately, you know.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
I see Precyse is hiring for new accounts. Would appreciate recent info on this company. (sm)
most of what I have found is pretty old. Are the current employes squelched when it comes to giving out information regarding the company or are they just so busy they don't have time to mess around on the boards? E-mail if you are concerned about being flamed or don't want to post for whatever reason. TIA.
Well she hired me for JLG last March so she
was there at least a year and from what I hear, the company she went to is a very good company. I don't think I would spend my time worrying about it if I were you. Maybe worry about yourself?
I have only heard sometime in March but don't know for sure when (nm)
xxxx
I took it last March and passed
There were no reports per se--they were snippets, and easy to understand ones at that. It was not a detriment using the mouse to control the audio in this case. The written portion was harder than I expected, but the transcription portion was much easier than I thought it would be.
Waiting for the results to pop up was a loooong few seconds. Good luck!
March 17, then every other Monday after that
.
No not now. Through beginning of March I did though.
It was awful, awful, awful.
I actually have a very large primary, so I am quite surprised we were out and you weren't. Usually everyone else is in the pool for 2 or 3 days before I hit it. When it hits us, we know they're very low on work.
since March of this year
nm
We were told somewhere in March
this is suppose to take place. Now back in 2003 they outsourced us to Spheris and our doctors raised heck and it lasted almost three months and we were pulled back for the hospital. So my fingers are crossed this happens again. If not, I am not sure what I am going to do.
I left in March of 2008 sm
They had switched from MTWorld, which I loved, to Emdat Inscribe, which I loathe.
My biggest complaint has to do with the team managers. Most of them are NOT MTs and are clueless. The more MT clueless they are, the more they micromanage. The MT manager...well if you had asked me when I had been there a year, I'd tell you she was a peach to work with, but I had not been able to say that for the last 18 months I had worked there. They grew a little too fast and lost that personal touch they used to have. Also, they are management top heavy. There are too many of them, too many QA people, too many IT people who aren't that great, and too many heads of this and heads of that. No way an MT company needs that many managers.
To top all that off, they have gone from the 8.5 later 9 cpl I was paid to 7.5 and 8 to start, from what I understand. No pay for headers and footers, even if you have to fill them in yourself. They like to issue MTs a fine for not following instructions and do so without giving a warning or two, just an instant fine.
Been at my job since March and work is steady
I work for a small U.S. company who does not offshore (and shall remain nameless, by me anyway). You have a primary account and a backup account. They do not over-hire so the work is mostly steady. I am told that it only runs low around the holidays. I'm pretty happy with that. At least you know the lull is coming and can prepare for it financially. My days at sitting at the computer waiting for work are over, for now anyway.
They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no
results I went over her head. Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week. I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd. Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work. I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
No one called you a joke, just called the post a joke because
we all know better, but you're entitled to your opinion. You're the one insulting saying those of us who don't like SS probably couldn't cut it and that is the reason for our complaints. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who ever worked for SS to agree with you about how wonderful they are. They aren't getting new accounts, yet they always have an ad running - umm, let me think why that is.
