Why do these companies do this? Hire, hire, hire while I am sitting here waiting for work for the past 3 hours.

Any other TransTech people out of work this morning? sm
After the big hiring blitz, I am afraid that maybe my account is getting saturated. I guess that is the way with all good things ... it doesn't last.
Thanksgiving is weeks away, yet no work on TransTech this morning. sm
I have 2 accounts, with no work on either. I used to think they cared, but now I am not so sure. If there is no work now, I have to think the closer it gets to Thanksgiving, it will really be awful. 
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
Got mine from Transtech this morning. Amex gift cheque. LOVE THEM!

There was no work for me this morning and . . .
that was okay. I spent more time with my 2 babies. I held my 9 1/2 month old in my arms while he struggled to stay awake and finally gave in to his sleepiness. As I type this, I am listening to my "almost 2-year-old" laying on the living room floor "watching" TV talking to herself, curled up with her blanket, and almost sleeping. It makes me smile. Just about 15 minutes ago, I snuck outside and gave my horse a carrot and she nickered a nice hello. THAT is why I'm home.
I work for Transcend. Have been for about a 1-1/2 months. I have learned a lot and I hope to learn more. I checked my Ps and Qs before I left my in-house, cushy, very solid clinic position to work at home. I checked the money situation. (I was also lucky enough to land an IC job with a local clinic that pays .12cpl, but only comes out to $100 a week as they don't have much work for me.) I hemmed and hawed over it for 7 months before I made my decision to stay home. I will admit it, it is a little frustrating not to have work, but, there will be work later. I may never have benefits through them, I may have to marry my (not so darling...ha ha) boyfriend (the father of the two kids) in order to get health insurance....but I'll deal with it. I LOVE being at home. (BF is jealous and wants to be home to, my Dad, who is soon to be retiring, is jealous as well. Course, they're MEN and wouldn't be able to work and watch the kids, but I'll let them be jealous!)
When I first started with transcription over 7 years ago, I never even thought of working at home, never really crossed my mind. I feel very lucky to be in a career that allows me to do both, be at home and still have a career. I'm not afraid of hard work or minor setbacks. I've put up a 1/4 mile of horse fence in 90+ degree weather, this is easy. Sure, it may come with some "bull****, and slow times, and frustrating times, but then I have a morning like I did today...(see above)...and I sigh...and smile.  To each his/her own. If ya don't like the stew, get out of the pot.
No, just out of work this morning

No work this morning. nm

Anyone have work at MDI this morning? nm

TransTech hiring again?
High turnover rate or what?
Does anyone know if TransTech is still hiring?
or maybe they are saturated with applicants right now???
TransTech hiring..
I have submitted my resume twice and sent a follow up email to see if they received it with no reply at all. I have been an MT for 17 years with only 2 places, so not from lack of experience. ??
Does anybody know if TransTech is hiring
regular MTs now? It looks like alot of people have gone there recently and their ad lists only Speech Recognition. I like Medware okay but just curious about this. TIA
Does anyone know if Transtech is still hiring

I love MT work... I get up in the morning
put on a blonde wig and a tight dress, look like Anna Nicole Smith and type all day long. And I'm not even a woman!
Another morning with no work ... sigh. nm

Yippee I actually did run out of work this morning!
Just went on out to the garden and picked some strawberries and rhubarb and made a pie. Let's see what other fun I can have today. The weekend is coming up and I'm betting there'll be more than plenty and no long line of people waiting to do it.
Weird, I had work this morning and all day. sm
I will say that if you are going to hit no work, generally it is on a Monday a.m. after payroll ended Sunday night; everyone who was short on hours during the week ends up making up time on Sunday nights and it takes a few hours for Monday's work to stockpile.
There's a BUNCH on there now!
Try Transtech, they are hiring for oncology. NM
no message.
Would someone explain why TransTech is still hiring
We have some work but I'm having to fiddle with my hours. Any ideas?
I am so glad TransTech is hiring again
I used to work for Transtech - best place EVER to work - but left for maternity leave and stayed at home for a while. I will definitely be applying for second shift because my hubby will be home to watch the kids. It's a good day today. 
Transtech is hiring for Editscript
Give Debbie a call in the office.
Transtech will be hiring for new accounts soon
//
Nope, suddenly no work at TT this morning
What is up with this???
Try TransTech. They are growing like crazy and are hiring a ton of MTs
right now. I'm sure they could accommodate a weekend only schedule. They are great to work for. You can e-mail them at jobs@transtechmedical.com
TransTech - they are hiring now, good time
....
Love it - Transtech hiring for M-F w/ only 1 weekend
:) :)
When did you get offer from TransTech? We just got email saying they were NOT hiring . . .
Just wondering how we are going to pay our bills for the next 5-6 months at TT. It has been very tough for a very long time, because of lack of work due to TT overhiring, anticipating new accounts, as all companies do -- HIRE BEFORE THE ACCOUNTS COME ONBOARD and maybe not even get the accounts when that times comes.
My question is when were you offered a job with TransTech?????
my work loads anywhere from the morning to late afternoon...
but I have until sunday until midnight to get it done, so it is not like you are working the entire weekend...depends how fast and motivated you are--LOL
Amen! Yeah, work was low Tues morning,
but I said THANK GOODNESS so I could take a break. Came back later and there was plenty.
It's not like gasoline where a supply can be kept for the low times. No; any transcription company has to try to stay within TAT or they lose money. When they lose money, do they penalize the MTs? Nope; they eat it.
I firmly believe that the good companies want to hire good people and keep them, but also get good accounts and keep them, so they have to delicately manage things the best they can. They have to let people take vacations now and then, and they can't predict when people will be sick or have emergencies. If you've ever worked in a hospital medical records department, you know that some of the docs are notorious for waiting until they are threatened with loss of privileges before they catch up their backlogs. So then they go in and dictate 200 reports they shoud have been doing for the last 2 months. Get a few of those and then there's a real crisis. Everybody gets a notice to work - work - work. Finally 2 weeks later everybody has worked their tushes off and done all this extra work, and everything is caught up on Monday morning. Then the docs come straggling in to do their dictations on Monday, while MTs sit at their desks, fuming because their is no work. Well whose fault is that? Management's? Nope, that's just business. I doubt there is a business in this world that is the same day in and day out, 7 days a week, every week of the year.
That explains it, yesterday I had no work, this morning DS on today's date. NM

I notice that Transtech is continually hiring. Are they growing that fast or are they
overhiring? Should I be concerned by this or apply? How are they to work for? Any input is greatly appreciated.
Clinic or acute care? I am looking to work 5-6 hours a day during the morning and early SM
afternoon hours. Which type of work is more appropriate for this kind of schedule, clinic or acute care? I really do have some time constraints outside of these hours as well as on weekends, so I need to find something where I can concentrate on working during those daytime hours. I am a newer Transcriptionist (at this point looking for IC), and I am hoping to find a place to stay for a long time. Any advice appreciated. Thanks
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Why are they hiring when we run out of work every day?

I work for TTS and they are hiring.

Why do these placed keep hiring if work is low.
I have been working with OSi for a week, and have already run out of work even though the recruiter told me there was plenty. Talked to a few people online, and everybody says they are always low. I feel manipulated, and I turned down several offers to take this job. I am going to see if any of the offers are still open.
R they hiring where you work?
NM
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work. This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession. I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
Not sure if they are hiring, but there is no shortage of work.

maybe not over hiring, maybe no work being given to them from the client
Thanks.. Helped a ton. I have already been through that. No work yet they are always hiring. That is
ridiculous..
Any companies hiring for M-F work
I have 10+ years of experience as an MT and need to have a Monday through Friday schedule because that is what works with my kids, school, and their summer sports. Are there any companies hiring experienced MTs for M-F work? Thanks
Yes they are hiring and great to work for
We're not hiring because work is low. Nothing to do
with what goes to Precyse International.
QT Medial is hiring and is GREAT to work for! Try them, you will not be sorry! nm

Why is OSi hiring new people when I have been out of work for 6 weeks?
I am statutory (or IC, whatever they are calling it now). I have a main account and 2 -- count them 2 -- back up accounts. I have been out/short of work for over 6 weeks.
Unless you are a full time employee, you get no benefits, no hourly, NOTHING. I am amazed that they are hiring when they have people already trained and begging for work!!!
Don't they realize that it costs a WHOLE lot more in turnover to train a new employee than to keep an already-trained one happy?
I'm looking at other nationals now. I've never been one to job hop, but I just can't take the time off any more!!!
is the lack of work related to hiring new MTs?
It is interesting that there was an ad to hire with a hiring bonus in the summer and suddenly the work got low and now agree a couple of weeks after another hiring ad the work gets low.
I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on. I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
NEMT is currently hiring for clinic work...nm
