Then why when I applied and passed the test
That is most definitely bait and switch. I had a phone interview with a recruiter and a barking dog in the background and her having to let the dog out... need I say more? This was the recruiter. Very unprofessional. My reason for leaving the other job should have been asked on the first interview, not as an after thought to bother me again and to tell me they have no work after it was posted, I applied, I tested......... on and on. Huge waste of my valuable time. The dog having to be let out was a hold on a minute and the phone got put down while the dog got let out. BAIT AND SWITCH! I call it like I see it. If they called and offered me 17 cpl I wouldn't work for them. I do hear they hire new grads, which is great. Keep up that good work on their part giving new grads a chance. 
I applied at Webmedx, took test, passed, and they said no to my part-time schedule.
Maybe call and ask before you waste your time like I did.
I just heard back that I passed the test and they asked when it was convenient to contact me by phon

I wish TT would hire me. Applied and took test, but not heard from. NM
 I guess I suck.
I applied there, took their test and have not heard anything. I guess I failed. nm

I applied to the last ad, was contacted by their
recruiter and asked about my availability for an interview. I responded saying I was basically available anytime and never heard another word. I again forwarded them my resume with a note regarding my availability and still nothing, yet there is a new ad. I am not sure what to make of it.
I applied, they contacted and....
I passed, because the pay was just way too low for me. STarting out at 6 cents per line. It's tiered, but just was terrible pay.
Don't know the platform, but applied, and passed,
I have heard nothing. Have you been accepted in a position?
It's been about a year since I had applied but I passed because of no holiday or PTO time.
Things could have changed. I thought it was a little ridiculous to offer employee status yet you were not entitled to vacation pay and had to take it on your own dime but they assured me that they were very accommodatingto vacation requests. I would guess so since they weren't pay for them LOL. Best thing to do is ask a recruiter. Again, companies change their benefits all the time, especially when they see something isn't working or they can't keep employees. There has to be some incentive, don't ya thing??
Well, after all that, I passed the test! nm

I passed the test...
but it did take 4 months to be notified. I just kept in contact with them until I was finally notified of the results. Candace, the contact person, was always very nice about keeping me informed of the status. Unfortunately, by the time they sent me a contract, I was already gainfully employed. I do think they would be great to work for; they sent me a list of contracts with the compensation amounts and the pay would have been fabulous! I do wish I could have worked with them, but I found myself needing benefits. I just think they have high expections for their employees, as they should. If you ever get the chance to try again, I certainly think you would not regret it. For people who are anxiously awaiting results, it takes this company quite a while to notify you. It also may take a while between finding out that you passed and getting your contract. It has always been this way with them for whatever reason, and it may just help them weed out candidates even further, depending on what type of attitudes people have when inquiring about their results. If at all possible, it is best to just check in from time to time and wait patiently. If you are successful, you will certainly be rewarded in the end. Hope this helps someone!
passed RAD test...
Was called the next day with info about an upcoming RAD account the following month. When that month came, I took the time to follow up with the RAD account. Was set up for an interview. Had interview. Recruiter Amanda thanked me for interview through email, gave me a couple things to look at, and said to contact her if I had any questions. She unprofessionlly did not respond even after 3 emails. Nice impression about company communication she gave me, yes she did.
A lot of MTs on here never passed their test
and these were MT's with years of experience. I think the Focus test is rigged. I didn't pass the test either and I didn't have any problems with the test recordings.
I think they do it as a loss leader. That way they can justify giving the work to ILPs instead of the US labor pool, since they can claim that the US labor pool doesn't pass their testing requirements.
i passed the RAD test...
A couple of months ago and was told I would hear from them soon. Two ads came up since then so I requested an interview both times. After the second request, a call came in at 3 AM my time when I was asleep. When I listened to the message, the person asked me to call her. BUT when I Read the email from her, she made it sound like my butt should've been expecting her call. Maybe even drop whatever I'm doing?? Oh no no no!!
I passed test and started very next day
It was a 50 question transcription test on their website. Open book and not timed. I think I missed one. Recruiter called, verified employment and I started the very next day. That was three months ago and so far so good. Medware has been keeping me busy and I especially like the direct deposit every other Friday. The bonus of an extra 1/2 cpl for 6000/week gives me $60 more for my mad money every pay, but that usually goes for groceries.
Yes I did test, passed and they offered me
Keystrokes is full of promises, promises, promises and they very seldom come forth with their promises. Don't hold your breath!!
I passed their test, but now I'm put into their "pool"
I took the time to take a long test and passed, originally said I wanted part-time, and when I got my results back, I get the, well, we're only focusing on hiring full-time right now, so I say I would love to try full-time, then they tell me I am now in the pool. Come on, people, I am sitting here day in and day out looking for work, I can work right now, give me a job, already! I think being put in the pool means, sorry we don't want you right now:( I'm just so tired of taking all these tests and I do great and then then don't want to hire to me, what the?!
Took their test and passed, then failed
I took their test about one year ago, passed it and was offered a job. However, the job training would not start for another 6-8 weeks, so I declined it because I needed to find employment then, not 6-8 weeks from then. Anyway, approximately six months later I retested to reapply and was then told I did not pass the test the second time. It isn't even a difficult test. If anyone figures out what they actually do want, please come back here and post it.
To the person who asked why people keep asking about Focus: Things and people change and there are always new people entering the market as well as policy changes in every industry. Asking about Focus or any other company periodically is certainly a legitamate inquiry. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
I passed the test without a problem.
I just took my time and made sure I referenced everything.
I recently took the test and passed.
I passed the test and accepted a position
and have been quite happy with Medware. My old service paid by way of snail mail, so now having direct deposit has been a big plus for me. I like my team leader and using EXText has kept my line counts high. I also have their insurance plan, it's United Healthcare and my family doc is on that plan. Overall, I hope to stay with Medware as they really seem to care about me. I also like the monthly newsletter they send out, it's the little things that set them apart from my old service. Good luck to you.
It took nearly a month after I passed the test before I started with Diskriter! SM
I was referred by a friend. I spoke with the HR person, took the test, and was told I passed with flying colors. I was told that a job offer was merely a formality and that I should go ahead and give two weeks notice at my other job which I did. I then waited a week before I actually got an official job offer. Then I was sent the paperwork. It was unbelievable! I had to have a physical exam by my physician and have him fill out their questionaire. I had to find a drug testting facility on my own and do a drug test. I had to have a TB test AND they wanted a chest x-ray as part of my physical exam. Then there was the background check and reference check. You would have thought I was going to work for the CIA and required high security clearance or something. Then I was told there was a problem with my references. They had asked me for two professional and two personal references which I gave them. They called my personal references and asked them if I was a good Transcriptionist and a good employee. Diskriter told me that none of my references were valid because no one had actually worked with me. Then I had to clarify that they had called my personal references and if they would simply call the professional references, the would get the answers they were looking for! It took them three more days to get it straight.
Finally, I was so fed up, I told them I refused to get a chest x-ray and I thought all of this was insane for a simple at-home job. I was so upset because I had gone two weeks without earning any kind of paycheck while I waited for them to check how frequently I go to the bathroom! I felt like a show dog jumping through every single hoop for a job that ended up being not worth it at all.
I feel for ya and all I can say is they weren't a bad company to work for, I just had an incompetent supervisor with very poor communicating skills.
Good luck!
If you have not passed the ortho test in the past 30 days and want to sm
know your errors, please email KeystrokesHR@aol.com and ask for the results. We have re-evaluated the procedure that we have had for the past 5 years and agree that this can be sent to those requesting the results. The test is harder than it seems; the coordinator is looking for very specific things and requires 100% to hire someone. Please send an email requesting this and we will get it to you right away.
Passed their test, had 2nd interview yesterday. Today,
this is the response I received via e-mail.
Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with me yesterday about employment opportunities at MD-IT. Unfortunately, your attributes as a Transcriptionist do not meet our needs.
What attributes are they looking for, I ask? Worked for same company for years, 99.5% QA score every quarter, always working on time every day, team player.
I didn't like the 2nd interview, knew it was not going well. The questions asked were phony psychological garbage, and no matter your experience and how well you tested, everyone starts on their tier system at 0.075 cpl...slave wages.
I had already decided overnight I would not go to work for them even if offered, so I feel I have been blessed today and kept from making a huge mistake in working for a company that devalues you before you even walk through the door.
Hallelujah! Be joyful fellow MT. There are better companies out there than this one.
I was told I passed the test and they wanted to hire me then...sm
they called me the next day and said they were on a hiring freeze and my name would be put on the waiting list. I have accepted another position as I don't have time to just wait on a list. I have bills to pay and mouths to feed.
I agree; I studied for and passed the test. I can't do Ops to save my life. sm
Meanwhile, my supervisor who is an oustanding MT and encyclopedia of knowledge couldn't pass part I of the test. It's not a sufficient test in that it doesn't test what we truly need to know to be excellent MTs.
I passed the MQ test with flying colors putting 2 spaces
after a period, so I don't think that's why you failed.
I've ALWAYS put 2 spaces. That's how we were trained, and that's always been the correct way to type a document. I'm so sick of the BOS's bull, though the company I'm with now follows BOS, but we all put 2 spaces still.
I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

There was a Vicki too that was at a few companies, but I heard that she passed away. I guess it is
I don't think small companies need recruiters, and I think the big ones have all shared them over time!
No, I applied, but cannot get the test file to work.
I tried calling but I cant get through to anybody. The instructions say to leave a message, but I dont even get voicemail. Too bad. Sounded like a really nice job.
Webmedx did a verbal test when I applied last year (sm)
The tester/interviewer was very pleasant and apologized for poor sound quality due to her using a head set (which she continued to use) during the testing. You could barely hear her and I had a bad feeling about the quality of transcription from this and turned the job down.
I applied and heard from them
nm
I applied and heard nothing.
So it's indifferent, I guess.
I applied twice and never heard from
Who knows.
I have applied there twice and heard nothing.
Once a year ago, once 6 months ago.
I applied, have heard nothing nm

I applied, but never heard anything -nm

Applied with them 2 weeks ago; nothing heard so far...sm
Didnt see much on their website either, and can't find anything in the archives.
I had applied for PT work and never heard from them. nm
s
I applied and heard back (sm)
They responded almost instantly with an e-mail that said to send a Yahoo IM (instant message) to their address. I e-mailed back that I did not have an IM account, and could we just discuss via e-mail, and then I never heard anything again. Really makes me wonder how legit they are...
I applied there and just heard back
I don't know a whole lot because I am waiting to start but pay is 9 cpl (even though the ads say 9-10) and they use ChartScript. You also must be incorporated because they are only hiring for contract work at this time. No set schedule. Hope this helps a little.
I have applied a few time, but have not heard anything.
Maybe if the poster will take the time to read the emails they have already received and actually hire from them, they would not have to keep posting over and over again.
Applied too and never heard a word.. sm
..
I applied the last time they had an ad and heard nothing...nm

I heard from Medware an hour after I applied
Talked to the recruiter, received an offer later that day and in less than a week I had my equipment and started. They even call you and help you load the software and your expander, very professional. I am very happy, I use EXText so that was a plus to see Medware uses that software. They are a good company.
Haven't heard for a month since I applied
/
Friend of mine applied and she has not heard yet either - sm
It is legit as far as i know. It is an SBC global job, and they are known for hiring at-home people.
applied and haven't heard a word......nm

I applied but haven't heard back
Do any of these companies let you take time off without pay if you haven't earned your PTO yet? Any other good companies out there? Anyone pay more than 8.5 cpl?
Anyone heard back from TransHealth? I've applied
I have 25 years of acute care experience and great references. Maybe it's my breath? LOL.
I applied for other positions when they've had them and never heard back. nm
