Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

100 applicants
Curious...Do you know if those positions have been filled? I tested too.
100 applicants
Curious...Do you know if those positions have been filled? I tested too.
I'm one of those applicants!
I'm one of the acute care applicants, we just got a mass email listing the days and times they want us to work (but they are flexible if something happens) and that they filled their radiology but will probably hire again in summer.
I'm glad to see this post...I know there are different opinions about companies so it is good to see some real opinions based on fact. I think if someone was bashing my company and possibly stating false accusations I'd threaten lawyers too!
Anyway, If anyone has tips for the testing and such let me know! :)
Unfortunately, they will get applicants,
There are 2 companies that I know of that pay less than this. They pay their ICs 4 cpl and 1.25-2 cpl for editing, yet they get tons of applicants from new grads hoping to get experience. I see new MTs on the Career Step forum all the time excited that they got their first job with these companies. To them, 5 cpl is a raise! It really is said how fast the rates are dropping. When I graduated, the norm was 7-8 cpl and my lowest offer was 6.5 cpl for employee status. That was only 3 years ago!
Yes and no. It depends on how well the other applicants did.
I've left blanks and been hired, but I've also left blanks and never heard from the company again. It doesn't necessarily exclude you unless someone aced the transcription test, which I've done that before, too.
Any applicants who interviewed..
for DeVenture's radiology account starting next month heard anything back yet? I had my interview almost 2 weeks ago and I can't wait no longer.
Iridium job applicants
Has anyone who applied for the oncology job at Iridium heard back from them? I applied but haven't heard back and was wondering if anyone else has...maybe they're inundated with applicants.
Maybe potential applicants
will respond to the ad by pointing out the apparent history of nonpayment. We can deal with difficult aspects our jobs; we CANNOT tolerate working without timely pay.
I agree with the other poster- if there is even ONE legitimate IC/employee posting about nonpayment, an MTSO shouldn't be allowed to post job openings (until issue resolved).
Are all the bad applicants necessarily newbies?????

You should be grateful for, and consider, any applicants you get, cutesy or not. Do you really sm
think you are going to get professional experience MTs applying in this day and age? LOL. I think not. But still, you need to publish the name of the company and provide a website, if you expect any qualified applicants.
TransTech has been flooded with applicants
They are so personable and devote as much time as necessary to each person and talk to you like you are an important person with a real life. I have never been happier in my life at a job whether sitting in an office somewhere or working remotely from home. My last job consisted of the holier-than-thou attitudes and treating me like I was about 2 years old, constantly being admonished for stupid crap. Debbie Hood and everyone else at TranTech are great. :)
Betcha most do (or at least get permission to), and applicants don't
nm
LOL, it DID look kinda like something Focus would do to get applicants....
We all need an occasional giggle...Thinking Focus posted that to attract applicants was pretty entertaining :-)
Can you imagine the 100s of applicants
I could not even imagine working in HR for TT right now! I would not apply there now, it would be impossible to try to stand out among all the applicants. Its crazy!!!!!
sick person going through applicants.
I haven't heard back yet either. I hope that because the person has been sick that it doesn't mean she will be rushed and use arbitrary criteria to reject people without reviewing all the tests. This happens a lot, I did that job off and on for many years and when busy, they tell you to thin the herd quickly meaning the tests/transcriptions are not thoroughly reviewed.
I have very few applicants who can even do easy clinic notes,
Hiring is can be a total nightmare.
Most applicants GROSSLY overestimate their abilities -
The worst was a former nurse of 20 or so years. She could not do the easiest clinic notes with no ESL doctors. Some days I would swear she was writing a fiction book because her transcription was THAT far off from what was dictated. She had very poor English skills and, if you can believe this one, seemingly little actual understanding of medicine or disease processes. She also claimed to have graduated from one of the top 3 schools, which we did verify. She was astounded when we let her go. I bet she found her way to some other service and is drifting around! Acute care? I would not have let her feed my fish, let alone be responsible for what can be the complex care of an acute patient!
No but it is my job to weed out applicants based on their resumes. sm
I cannot speak for Keystrokes, but I doubt any company would hire you with typos. This is in any industry, but especially in transcription. This is one of the first things you are told when you are looking for a job. I learned that back in college, and I was an engineering major, not anything to do with transcription.
I work for a company that is much larger than Keystrokes, and if they get half the garbage we get in resumes, they are definitely frustrated. I know I am!
I am grateful - for professional, mature, experienced applicants.
I'm not responsible for the voice recognition craze. Go blow somewhere else about that!
Doesn't matter whether you like it or not, the MT has to get past ME in order to get the job!
If you were one of the recent applicants for Advanced Transcription in Oregon ...SM
Are any of you still hearing back or is the hiring over, I wonder? I sent my application in but pretty late by the time I saw the message.
If any of you have started already, how do you like it? Are they really that flexible that you just log on and work when you want as long as you meet a minimum number of lines a week? How does the QA work...what if you have blanks?
I guess any info would be appreciated, even though I'm probably not going to get in on it this time around, it seems.
Thanks.
I am a recruiter and sick and tired of the stipulations put on us by applicants. sm
You want the job, why should we bend over backwards, arrange our schedules, etc. What happened to actually working to get a job. Instead, it seems like everyone wants it handed to them on a silver platter.
I work Monday through Friday, 9a.m. to 5p.m. If that does not work for someone, they need to make arrangements to make it work. If you were in another industry and were interviewing, they would not stay late, work weekends, etc to accommodate you. Grow up and treat this as a career - you may be pleasantly surprised!
The recruiters (pleural) test and fill applicants based on (sm)
what accounts have needs and whether your skills and shifts requested fit those account needs.
Also, perhaps another recruiter filled the position they originally thought was open.
I do know there are some new accounts coming on soon and I hope many of the more qualified applicants are tested and ready to jump on board with us when they do.
It is a good place to work and worth waiting for an appropriate opening.
Also, call the recruiter and ask more questions if you want. They certainly won't bite.
Well if you don't want it, send it to me! Better than nothing. nm
I would send a
certified letter, the kind that they have to sign for from the post office. Just to cyb ;-)
I can't say how much they send
to India, but they did state they are sending some there, they never said how much and that it was a pilot program. They do use a lot of VR now. I did not like their program and left recently.
Can you send me one too? I am considering going with them. nm
thank you
When did you send it? nm
nm
If you don't want it, send it to me.

Why don't they send us some of
the scores of gifts that they receive in the office? We are the ones that make their money for them. I don't think it is greedy at all. It is common courtesy, something that today's MTSO's trample on. I get Xmas cards. My kids open it for me, and then they make a joke of standing there with the card shaking it to try to get money or a gift card to fall out. LOLOL
need you to send to another ID sm
hey Nola, I figured out why I did not get it. Send to ccba81499@yahoo.com thanks!!!
I am sure they will send something
They always do, just not necessarily on the exact day it may be expected. But I do have to agree, enough work would be the best thing ever!!!
Dang. Tried again and still will not send
Sorry!! Try MTspot. I am there a lot, too
How long does it take MQ to send sm
the equipment after you are hired and filled out the paperwork?
Send her to either M-TEC or Andrews.

I send many of my things to QA
I did not mean to sound like I just ignore verbatim altogether. I just do not leave in the ridiculously obviously wrong things that is all. I do not change the text or change words around. I guess you missed my point. Yes every account is different and there are specifics I know. The doctor I was referring to about the #ing just does not know how to count; not a system like you are talking about. So never mind.
Did you have to send them back
Just asking.
I don't want to send them a resume either
At one time, some companies put out ads by recruiter and anonymous names just to see who would apply. Those who applied and were working for this big company were immediately fired just for applying. Watch your back!
Did not send resume, but.....sm
I did write a very polite email stating that I was not comfortable revealing my personal information to an unknown company. I included my basic credentials and asked if they wanted my resume to please email me regarding their company information. I doubt if they'll bother, but I've made it a policy to never submit my confidential information to any company who is not willing to reveal their name.
This is exactly why I know longer send anything. nm
nm
Did they ask you to send them your resume?
I took the test today with a 96%, and immediately was asked to e-mail my resume.
send me an email
I may know of a place for you
They do not have to send you a 1099 for what they did NOT pay you, However,
you still need to claim what you received regardless if they send you a 1099 or not and pay your taxes accordingly. I would report them to the IRS in either case, because I am sure you have tried to receive your past compensation without much success.
Send an email and ask
someone in the office who does the time sheets.
only 6? i had a company send 14 !!! nm
xx
why do they ask IF we want them to send WAV player
nm
So send an e-mail saying you are going
to ER, and get a note while you are there. The problem is that this will put you out of work a while if it is broken, but there is no sense lying about it since you do need the wrist to heal.
Or else the note will explain there is no fracture or sprain and you are okay to work in __ days.
I always send an email sm
and ask all those questions before testing. If they don't want to give me that info before hand, they aren't worth it.
Please. Yep, they picked 1 MT to send it to.
I think there are 2? send them email and ask
.Just put you message in the portion where is says Apply Now (or did you see info elsewhere?
Send the resume!
They are an honest company and have proven that time and time again. When something comes up that is a concern, they always fix it. They will not jerk you around and they certainly do not play games. They have recently grown quite rapidly and honestly I don't think they realized this was a great concern until now. They are focused on keeping both the client and the MTs happy, rare in this business. There are one or two MTs here that are out to destroy their reputation as a great company and I suppose these few will come back at my posting in their typical childish manner, but disregard them. Send the resume, you won't regret it.
