Dont bother. Not enough work to go around. People are quitting.
I guess at this rate, they may be hiring if everyone ends up quitting due to lack of work. They will come on here and state that we should just call the office and you will get put on another account. That is a joke. We have all tried that and you get ignored.
OSI ALWAYS hiring, good MTs ALWAYS quitting
.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
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!!!
Because of the shortage of work, we don't want our companies hiring more people. nm

I see a lot of people posting on here about quitting MQ and I was just wondering where they all went
and is it better. I guess we wont know what we are up against yet for about a week then we will see what happens.
WELL SAID - OSi people are quitting in droves including management
that's what forums are for.
Quitting, more work and other melodrama
And you know I police everyone else because? Quite the assumption to make, eh? And spoken like a true cherry picker. Do my own work? Nah, I'm too busy doing the work everybody else has decided they're too good to do and they throw it back. Yes, please explain exactly how I get to do MY OWN work. Either you are a cherry picker yourself or you don't have people cancelling jobs and throwing them back for you to do, which results in a pretty crappy line count at times. You don't know me, don't make assumptions about who I'm policing. And, betcha the non-cherry pickers aren't afraid of us police!
"People are quitting" -- who? I work in the home office
and no one has quit in the last month.
You aer required to work 3 holidays each year ... not sure about the quitting early thing. nm

Many companies are hiring MTs, QA people etc as
recruiters.
You must be hiring the wrong people...
it must be bad judgment on your part, but don't lump sum the rest of us who do take pride in our work and do have great work ethics and take our jobs seriously!
Definitely could not understand why they keep hiring people
when there is no work for us. They specifically told us that our overseas partners would work the accounts in the evening and weekends when we need help the most. Then, it's no wonder when we get up to work that it is gone. They have been working it all evening and night. I'm sorry they wasted your time. If you wait long enough, a lot of people will be quitting (me included) and you might have some work. 
I talked to one of their hiring people
but that's on a C-phone account. Maybe that makes a difference between C-phone and internet account? Extremely nice lady too, by the way.
And the strange thing is they keep hiring people so it almost seems as though they want us to run
out of work. How has their QA point thing been working out with people on so many accounts. What a joke.
Why have they bothered advertising or tried hiring people when they do not have enough
manpower to get it going in an efficient manner. Truly, I hope Shiela is also not the one responsible for doing payroll. That may well be too much on one person. I have worked in offices where doctors were too cheap to hire extra help and just ran us into the ground with so much work until we quit from burn out. It just not the right way to run a business, having one person do everything. I do feel for Shiela but who would want to contact her now and burden her more. BTDT
The email was not about looking to fire people. Yes, they are hiring. sm
The email stated that everyone must maintain certain levels for production and for QA in order to stay a Keystrokes' employee.
They were reassuring us that even in this depression or recession, or whatever it is being called now, we will have work to do and that they are still growing.
There are 2 openings on my account, so I know that they are hiring, and there is a new account starting next week too.
You missed the point. She has people that do the hiring because she is busy with her own
responsibilities. There are just people that feel they need to talk to Lee or no one, and those people find that they do not get things done as they should because they did not go through the right people.
If you knew Lee, you would know how wrong you are. I have never worked for someone as respectful or caring of others and I have worked for a lot of people in and out of transcription. This is the ONLY company where I have ever felt that I was treated as a person. How horrible of you to judge someone that you do not know.
Maybe they are tired of hiring so-called experienced people sm
wwho get someone else to test for them. Maybe they want to hear the correct answers straight from the horse's mouth so to speak...
And you are no longer a hiring manager and probably lost out on a LOT of good people
because of how you handled it. HMMMM??
Turns out she was just frazzled hiring people. She works there. Sorry about the bad press.

News report government hiring 1000 people - sm
To work on cybersecurity. I wonder if they will address the use of widespread databases like some (they shall remain nameless lest this post get booted) VR vendors use. I hope so. I think I'm going to ask for all the names and addresses who have access to my medical record from my local hospital and see what they tell me.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
Yes but that means hiring a lot of extra people and paying out a lot of extra money when they can
have SE without all this. Their last report said they are making less money now than before and expect to make less in the next quarter so what does that say. We shall see. As part time employees you would still have to adhere to a schedule and I think people are SE for flexibility at least I am.
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
Not sure if they are hiring, but there is no shortage of work.
x
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.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
Quitting
I work for MDI-FL and we've been out of work for a week too...I have three accounts and no work right after the holidays-I am starting to panic as I supply 50% of the family income. i have talked to friends who work for local hospitals and they are swamped. I owned by own service for 8 years and never had a slow movement, any time of the year. I just can't figure this business out anymore.
quitting MQ
Thanks for the info.
Quitting
I wouldn't quit the old one until you find out how the new one is.
Had enough BS and I'm quitting
@#$%
Quitting
I left a company that had an exit interview. I honestly told them what I thought. I think they needed to know a few things. Maybe it will effect a change to make life easier on other MTs.
quitting after first day
Oh, oh, sounds like you got hired for the same account as me............6 passwords to get into the program, 1/2 hour to boot everything up, system down 7 out of 10 days and only 3 hours work yesterday and 4 today - but I'm required to be here checking for work every 15 minutes....So, after waiting 3 weeks for my computer to be specially built by the hospital itself, I have finally worked a whole month now with 1 week of training in which the system was down 3 days out of 5, so I learned very little. Then the system was down 2 out of 5 days the second week. oh yes, and 3 of my 4 QA trainers have disappeared. Needless to say, I'm looking for another job, since I do like to eat and so does my cat and dog. This is not where I thought I'd be after going to school for a full year and transcribing now for 15 years.... what a shameful direction things have gone these last 5 or 6 years. Even janitors, and clerks have more benefits, respect, security and likely make more money than we do these days in this field. No one in the medical profession really has a clue how much knowledge we are required to possess or the skills necessary to do what we do. We get no respect from the doctors, staff, or medical profession at all. Part of the problem is that we're too fragmented within the industry, especially working at home. We are scattered all over the county. We are so isolated from one another that we have no sense of being part of anything, which is benficial to management, as it keeps us from organizing. Another contributing factor to lousy working conditions for all of us is that 3/4 of the employees in this field are women, most of whom do not truly NEED this job, so those of us who have no husband/boyfriend/roommate/etc.to help with finances are screwed. I love the medical transcription field, but I really hate being a 3rd class worker bee. I would challenge any nurse or doctor or health professional to do my job for a day - correctly. I can guarantee they would absolutely not be able to do it. I thought I was a professional... but now I realize I'm just a worker, so I need to find one more job that will last me at least one more year, and hopefully provide more than $15,000 annually, which is all I made last year as a full-time employee with 2 other companies who kept running out of work or had continuous problems implementing their new and improved dictation systems. I have more system down, system issue messages than Carter's has liver pills from these companies. I'll bet management got paid though. Maybe if I can find another job in the next week or so, I can hang in there until I can retire in 2010, and then just do this part-time to supplement my $900.00 a month social security check. I am not a happy camper anymore. I'm just really disappointed in the direction this profession has gone in over the last 6 years or so. I'm fed up with listening to these educated idiots, slurp, chomp, snort, guzzle, and burp through their meals, tell jokes while the minutes tick away that I don't paid to listen to and rattle, scrape, bump, ding and click through the report because they're not prepared to dictate when they sit down to do the report. Then I get to listen to them hem and haw as they click through the computer screen reading the patient's history while they're trying to dictate the current report. Taking phone calls and leaving me hanging, with the minutes ticking away that I'm not getting paid for, coming back after 5 minutes and hanging up on me. I'm tired of my feet swelling from sitting here for hours on end, dry itchy eyes, and my brain on overload with new drugs, mispronounced drugs, procedures, and failure to provide even the basics, like who the hell they are, the patient's name, ID, or date. It's clear that they feel dictating patient reports is beneath them. It's pretty clear that most of them just don't want to do it, so very few bother to do it right. So much for patient care. Maybe I'm burning out. Just can't quit yet. Have to earn a living, and I still care about quality, and I still care about doing it right. I just wish more of the other people I have to deal with cared too.
Many are quitting
Many MTs are quitting, have quit, or are in the process of quitting. I believe it is really what they want. They have a heavy offshore workforce and it seems that more and more work is going to the offshore service. There is barely enough work to go around unless you devote 24 hours a day to them to adjust your schedule as needed to make any lines. A recent post a few weeks ago stated that there would be a 39% paycut across the board in May, but I can't verify that. The post sounded like it was someone who was in management at one time. I do know for a fact that our manager told us that a lot of work was being sent to the offshore now. I'm not a disgruntled employee, but I do know that every single person on my account is looking for another job outside of the transcription field.
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
QT Medial is hiring and is GREAT to work for! Try them, you will not be sorry! nm

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.
Why is TransTech hiring when I have no work this morning? sm
Why do these companies do this? Hire, hire, hire while I am sitting here waiting for work for the past 3 hours.
NEMT is currently hiring for clinic work...nm
