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.
They advertise they start at 8 cpl
and go to 10, so you know this one has a few wires crossed upstairs. n
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?

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

Just curious why Focus Infomatics is being allowed to advertise here. Totally Indian-ran.
Crazy
A few years ago in Phoenix a mail carrier was killed a few days before Christmas for the goods.
I think you are all crazy
nm
Yes he is crazy
I am glad you got out. I stayed on too long once this paycheck problem started thinking it will get better but it did not. He made me fell like I was the crazy one. He kept saying how I was threatening him and slandering his comp. Well the only threat I made was when I did not get my check and I stated I was going to the BBB. Then he got really crazy. I'm sorry I just can't quit using the word CRAZY when I refer to this guy. Anyone thinking about going here - don't do it. If you do work there - get out. It will not get better and the capt is CRAZY, CRAZY CRAZY. I let him bs me for awhile about making me a priority to wiring the money, etc. etc. In the end he had the nerve to tell me I should just be nice. Well hello when you are messing with someone's money it's kind of hard to be nice. Sorry to have to vent so long but this guy just gets me so made when I think of everything he emailed to me!!
Are u crazy?
The MT business, if you have not noticed, is every man for himself on a sinking ship. It is a sinking ship!!!! Offshoring is killing us... we are dispensibles here in the U.S.
MT... and I think I'm a little crazy...
there is definitely some degree of mania involved. I actually have 3-1/2 jobs... i do another part time on the weekends.
Going Crazy
I think I am going crazy here. I notified the administrator with my question, and she said that it was moved, etc. However, she stated that there is an arrow and a fire thing only. She said she is not aware of a hand. I am clearly seeing a hand pointing to the right towards my posts and replies. Now, I have worked at a psychiatric hospital for many, many years, maybe I need to admit myself! This is so weird. Does anyone else see a hand?
Am I Just Crazy???
I've been calling around like crazy trying to find a decent company to work for that pays a fair rate etc. Am I crazy to think that with 5 years acute care experience I should get more than 7.5-8 cpl? I've been making 9 cpl at my last job and made 6 cpl as a QA person for the last year as well. Can someone tell me where I can go where I can be an employee and get a fair line rate? I'm willing to do ASR.
CRAZY
What the heck are you talking about???????
Not only is it crazy, also, what does
that do to the TAT time required by the client????
Am I crazy
or do I ask too much from a transcription company? All I want and this is the utmost truth, is to have a fair shot at making some money. That's it! I don't want gimmicks, I don't want to cheat the company, I just want a shot is all.
I've given Transcend so many chances to do that and I just don't think I can do it any longer. It's so abundantly clear to me that I'm just a number there. I started a new account a month ago and I'm not any more use to it now than I was when I started, it's That difficult. They were good enough to limit my reports to only Discharges but they're not able to limit the types of dictators I get so I literally get everything, even the really difficult dictators. I'm brand new to this system, which is difficult enough in itself to learn. It's so blatantly obvious to me that if someone is just starting a job they should give you some easy dictators until you get used to how the system works, THEN gradually work your way up to the hard stuff. And to top it off all they can offer for help is some samples but these are discharges and the doctors don't do the same things over and over again so samples are useless.
The team leader is nice but she can't help me. If you work at Transcend you're on your way basically and for the kind of money they pay it ain't worth it.
I'm filled with regret everyday I log in. Nine years of experience here btw in case ur wondering. I don't want to look for another job but I'm hating this place more and more.
Just need to vent.
This is crazy. There's no way to do
3 times as many lines on VR. It takes too much correcting/editing. I'm so sick of this. Just how much more profit do these MTSOs need to make at the expense of the MTs?!
R U CRAZY
No specialty should be paid 7 cents per line. My last job paid 13 cents per line for radiology. My job before that paid 15 cents per GROSS line for radiology. There are transcriptionists who can't do radiology or ER just as there are Tx's who can't do ops. Spoken like a true TX who does NOT do radiology or ER.
That is crazy.....
Where do you work? I would not type 1 line without my expanders.
What they should do is target the people who cannot type and punish them, not everyone.
Unbelievable.
Totally crazy
I worked for the Toth's. The are unorganized, not professional, do not pay for the work on time, and basically rude. I know several people who have taken them to court, won, and still have not been paid monies owed to them!
Not crazy on their part
money, money, money. What I think is crazy is MTs putting up with it. Life is too short to sit at the keyboard 24/7 trying to get enough work to pay the light bill.
Yes it is crazy on their part
What happens when you put a bunch of people on an account they don't know and could care less about and can't make money on? The account is soon lost. Seems to me the company is cutting its own throat doing business this way. Any bonuses the managers make better be wisely invested for when they are out on their butts because there aren't any accounts left.
I would be new with them. I'm crazy too but that's none of their business!

I don't do Rad so I am not sure if they have any or not. They are growing like crazy though, so
call them and ask. They are usually always hiring. Right now I think they are hiring for Med Rec, Oncology and maybe Rad. Call them and talk to Debbie, my supervisor. She's great.
That's crazy! I wonder how they can get away advertising that.

Being driven crazy!
So, I quit my job at SPI (formerly CyMed) because of all of the insanity that was going on there since the SPI takeover (constantly changing management, less and less work, horrible new work pools, payroll screw ups, etc). I found a much better company to go with, gave SPI my notice, and left (they never responded to my notice). Since then, I have still not been taken off their e-mail list and get their multiple messages throughout the day with their backlog status updates, etc., even though I keep telling them that I no longer work there and asking them to please remove me from their e-mail list! So, the other night, AFTER midnight, I got a call from someone with SPI asking me if I could do some stat reports! I couldn't believe it! I explained to the person who called me that I have not worked there since the first of February and have been trying to tell them that since then, and she was totally clueless! This company is haunting me! I just thought that I would share my agony!
I'm not some crazy SUPPORTER or
anything, but I think it's gotten a little bit out of hand. I've worked at OSi for 2-1/2 years and while everything is not all rosy, it's not the worst place in the world. They pay on time ALWAYS. I think the insurance is high, but I came from a before MT job where I thought that was high too...not much to compare it to. The whole holiday pay thing - on a conference call last week, they STRESSED that they were putting in place some guidelines for those MTs who abuse the system to get the holiday pay but assured everyone that it would not be held against them if there was no work before/after a holiday. They do offshore, so if that's a concern, then there's nothing more to say about that.
I've had a steady account there, as well as a back up that I've hardly had to use because I've hardly run out of work. I'm pretty much left alone to do my work and have never had trouble making lines.
Almost every company mentioned has pros AND cons...you do what's best for you and if it doesn't work, then try again.
LOL...that's crazy. Guess we should look elsewhere!
