and I was told that they are not hiring right now but will be in a few weeks for some new accounts. They want to make sure that everyone has an account that they are happy with before taking on additional transcriptionists. Yet another reason I love working for Keystrokes: I am appreciated and not treated as a number.

Are you the example of coworkers we can look
Thanks for the warm welcome. Hope you're not the norm at Transcend.

Actively looking!
Everyone I know from the former Warminster office who works at home is actively looking for either a full-time replacement for MQ or, at the very least, a supplemental part-time job.
Some companies that have been mentioned by my friends are: First Choice Medical, Medware (FT), MDI, and DSG. Hope that helps.
Me too, now actively looking for another job NM

OSI allows only company email, keeps coworkers anonymous
and that stinks
Yup, they actively post that they
Please do not hire on with them.
Yes, it's true. I am actively looking for another job.

I'm actively searching......
TT used to be one of the best companies to work for, not true any longer. They seem to be all about making money for themselves. No more yearly bonuses, no matching 401K, nothing for MT week but thanks from lower management. There are companies out there that pay 70% of your line rate for speech, that's reasonable. This whole thing is going to backfire on them in the end. I've had several interviews but haven't made a final decision yet. It's not that I want to find a company that doesn't do VR, in reality they all will eventually. I want to find a company that realizes their MTs put bread on the table for managment, sadly that is no longer TransTech.
Actively seeking another job
in the meantime. :)
I just recently actively discouraged a person
It was a former classmate, and she sent me an e-mail via another venue and said she heard I was a transcriptionist, and did I have any recommendations.
I told her I would not recommend my dog getting into this field. I described stagnation in wages, off-shoring, voice recognition, point-and-click medical records, and the demand for higher production at the same or reduced wages.
Unfortunately she had already made the decision to go into MT, citing that she just didn't think ASR was catching on that fast. Sigh.
The irony is, I have never seen an industry so hell-bent on putting itself out of business. Transcription companies merge, acquire, and buy out other businesses, only to turn around and either lose the clients or terminate contracts because they will not be profitable. Then, they make their MTs so miserable that many quit yet claim they cannot find qualified MTs. They use voice recognition and point-and-click systems, yet a human being is still required to proof through reports and make sure they get where they want to go. However, said human is expected to do that job at one-half to one-third of their original pay rate. Add to that the fact that said companies then resort to off-shoring in their claim of being unable to find competent work state side, and it's any wonder that there are functioning U.S.-based transcription companies at all!
A good friend called all of this cognitive dissonance. The state where your brain cannot quite reconcile two opposing situations regarding one topic. Most of us, through our transcription years have been told that we are to be fast yet accurate, to care about the quality of what we churn out, that patient safety and care are of utmost concern, and finally that we are generating a document for which both we and the physician can be held legally accountable. Now, with the advent of voice recognition and off-shoring, crap transcription that is inaccurate and possibly dangerous is okay so long as it is cheap. That's where the cognitive dissonance enters: It's okay to have sloppy work so long as it is cheap? My brain just can't handle that.
To answer your questions: I have been doing this 20+ years. I make less than I did even 10 years ago. I have zero respect for this profession, and I would not advise anyone to get into it.
Because they actively OFFSHORE and sell American MTs down the river?
That's ALL the reason I need NOT to give them a chance.
Glad it's okay for you, it's an individual thing, apparently, but MY skills and my patriotism are NOT FOR SALE.
AT ANY PRICE.
Thanks for your post.
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Hiring
Don't know anything about escribe, but my company, Cy med, hiring.
Hiring
Anyone know of TM Transcription in Oregon?
Hiring
Since I have been hiring for Keystrokes, I have ALWAYS followed thru with providing the proper paperwork to the office, and the AA gets the paperwork out the same day within hours of when I submit the new hire information, and then when the signed paperwork is not received usually we give someone about 72 hours, which on many occasions, people do not fax the paperwork back to the office, the AA in turns either sends out a FU e-mail asking where the paperwork is and/or I will call and send out an e-mail if there is an issue. I HAVE NEVER let anyone SLIP thru the Cracks with Keystrokes after I have offered them a position. Please get your facts straight before you post on here and use my name!
I have a note on the resume the date of hire, and the date the e-mail was sent to the office, and also have a new hire folder, where I put the e-mail that the office sends to me that the paperwork has been returned and faxed back, to the office. Keystrokes does FU on hiring of all new hires, so who ever is posting that needs to contact me and allow me to find out what the problem is so I can find a solution.
Are they hiring? (nm)

Are they hiring?
They said they passed me up because someone else wanted a full-time position, and I only wanted a part-time position. Then I had to contact them, which took 3 weeks to get a response. If I did well on the test and they need help, then why not hire me? What a waste of my time.
They are ALWAYS hiring because
All of the smart MTs leave and only the extreme desperate stay. They do SUK.
as far as I know they are still hiring
I don't know about if it is specifically for ortho or not though.
They are always hiring...
and just as hard to get ahold of when you are working there. lol. Try e-mailing the recruiter. Thats your best bet.
I just saw an ad where they are hiring for
someone to go overseas to train/teach classes. Wondering what's up with that. If it's true, kind of bold of them to advertise on an MT job site to promote taking American jobs away. Guess it all comes down to the almighty buck and how these companies continue to screw US MTs over.
are they still hiring for Onc MT?
Hi SM!
I have more than 2 yrs experience transcribing onc reports. I would like to ask if they are still hiring as far doing oncology transcription? What is their website? Can I have their email address? THank you
Hiring
I'm wondering too...my QA is consistently over 99%, I rarely leave blanks and have 12+ years experience.
Are they hiring?
I am looking for a good IC job. Do you know if Sten-Tel is hiring for IC? Thank you so much!!
i think they are not hiring
thank you, but I went to GIMT website and it seems they are not hiring right now. There wasn't any info where to mail the resume.
Are they currently hiring?
What is their website? Thanks!
I think they are always hiring

Who's Hiring for ONC?
Does anyone have any experience with any of the companies hiring for ONC now? Positive experience with the companies and the accounts, or negative? Which companies would you recommend for ONC? TIA.
Yep, they are still hiring
I cannot understand why they do not understand this. I hope you have another job. One problem they have...on one account, they had overseas MTs doing the typing, they allowed these people to go off of QA...next couple of weeks, the account was gone. Nobody said it was gone, but there was never any work on the account and still isn't any. Zip activity.
Who, in their right mind, would allow overseas MTs to submit work directly to a facility?
hiring
I just e-mailed you. Thank you for information.
Do you know if they are hiring ICs? TIA.

are they hiring right now ? -
Applied a week ago, waiting to hear from them. Thanks. Not sure if they are hiring right now or not.
Are they hiring right now? Thanks,

are they hiring right now ? -
I sent a resume and haven't heard anything in over a month.
Are they hiring?
Have you heard if it's a good company to work for? IC or employee? I think I have a contact email that I can send you if no one else has already done it.
What is with all the hiring at
Are they expanding that much?
They better not be hiring..

Don't know if they are hiring PT . . .
I am working PT, and I chose to work a pretty fixed schedule. It's busy now and I have work, so I'm doing my hours. It's employee status, and I'm required to work one weekend a month and then rotate either T-giving or Christmas each year. If a holiday lands on one of your regularly scheduled days, you are required to work. I think this is all pretty much standard throughout the industry.
Seems like they are ALL always hiring, sm
complaining that there are no good U.S. mts, available, and using it as an excuse for voice recognition and hiring off shore.
If you are good, and can prove it by testing and experience, they are always hiring. Maybe not posting ads, but they are hiring.
saw they were hiring 40 MTS
for big new account. Anyone here work there. How do you like it. Pluses and minuses welcomed and appreciated.
Maybe that is why they are hiring.
employees, so they are in need of some help. Hmmmm, very interesting. They are not the first, and I bet they won't be the last. This board is supposed to be informative, good or bad, so why worry what is being posted? There would be no posts if everyone took everything up with the actual company they work for. No one seems to have a problem when good things are posted, so why when there are bad things posted or a suspicion, someone says take it up with the company? Just curious. 
Hiring?
Are a bunch quitting?
why are they hiring again?
Just quit because there was no work and now they are hiring? What a stoopid move.
They are hiring
I got a job offer from them yesterday. I just wanted to know if anybody works for them now.
Thanks
over hiring
their usual practice and thinning out what they have.....like many others only concerned about themselves.
well, maybe they are not hiring now, i don't know.
I think for many of their accts you need the unlimited LD. They also have some accts that do not require that. I will be out today, but if you e/m me, later i will try to send some contact info for you, to try again.
For those just hiring on, it might not be too bad for you right now. (sm)
Those of us that have been there fore a couple of years have had nothing but perks/benefits/money taken away from us on a regular basis.
If you hire on expecting no communication, reduced wages for ASR, only the challenging stuff that our ILPs don't want to do, working a combination of 2-20 different accounts on a daily basis, and plan on having perks and benefits reduced periodically you might just be happy there.
Don't forget to watch the videos, it is all part of the brain washing we get to make us think we are lucky.
Lots of us are leaving, but it is a big company and there are plenty of newbies or just newcomers who will hire on. They will take a learning curve, the customer will be unhappy with the constant training/mistakes that occur and more of them will leave. Of course new ones come on so you get, once again, to learn new client profiles.
Good luck. Perhaps whoever buys MQ next will do things differently. Then again, perhaps the income taxation system will be more fair and equal, Santa Claus will be real in the minds of children and pick up the tab for holiday gift giving the parents do in his name.
qt hiring
QT help wanted ad OMG!  How funny is that?. I heard they let all the good MTs go. They offshore like there's no tomorrow and they are asking no offshore entities need apply? Good luck to any sucker who applies for that position. Also heard that particular radiology software is so bad there's no way you can make any money Hope you like empty promises, no benefits and Indian overloads for bosses.
