Precyse hiring practices - MT searching

Posted: Feb 07, 2013

Hi everyone:) This is in reference to the message left about applying for work at Precyse. One MT stated that their hiring practices left a lot to be desired and she took the test and felt she wasted her time. I am now among the ranks of those that tried and didn't make it. I took the test, and looked over everything carefully and felt I had done a good job. I took the job in the late evening and not even 1 hour later I got a message that I was not a "good fit for the company." It was the same message I guess a lot of us got and it made me wonder about a few things; namely, were they timing this test, even though there was no time limit, and had they already pre-determined who they were going to reject or hire, or if they based this on what pay rate you expected, and the age of the applicant? I was totally deflated and felt like I had totally wasted my time. I have applied to several places and oftentimes they are on a web site that also advertises schools for medical transcription. Once I start to go through the application process and turn down schooling, I feel they turn me down.

Total waste of time - sm

I took the test and have heard NOTHING. Not even a rejection - NOTHING. I've emailed the recruiter who sent me the test and she has ignored all of my requests for an answer. I guess this is a clear indication of how they treat people. I guess we mean NOTHING. Beware that applying to this company is a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Very unprofessional group of people.

You hit the nail on the head. - sm

They don't care about MTs and the way you're treated by the recruiters is definitely your first indication. They lie (not just recruiters), tell you anything to get you in the door, then when reality sets in, you're ignored, made to change schedules, emails not answered, QA'd to death, made to do 6+ accounts, except for a few who they seem to play favorites with. Beware of this place. They're not the great company they used to be. They're big on tech and clients and not on MTs.

Same for me - Tired of testing

I got the exact same message and wondered the same thing - if they timed it. I know I did well on the test - I've been doing this 20 years. I don't understand why companies make you test before they even see if you "are a good fit." Pick a few you are interested in and then test for heaven's sake! It is a waste of time but when you really need a job you have to jump through those hoops. One company made me load two programs to my computer to do their testing and I never heard back, though I know I did well on the dictations. So tired of it.

Is this done through MT Test by any chance? - SM

I remember some posts about a "glitch" in this test and how to get around it. I think I saved this info if this is the case.

FYI, when negotiating with potential employer, DO pin them down in detail about how they pay for *editing*. My recent experience: Offered job paying 8 cents straight typing (which there is not much of), and 4 cents for editing. I was aware up front that the edited line was considered 1-1/2 *regular lines*, or 97.5 characters (Visible Black, of course) constituted an edited line. Most recent information regarding this pay, their software was not able to calculate the 97.5 rate for editing, so t ...

Hi, I was just pondering something: This does not apply to me personally, but I was curious as to whether any company, say MModal, Nuance, etc. have ever laid off any disabled employees, like visually impaired, paraplegic, etc. due to quality of work or whatever. I was curious if they have employees who work for them who are disabled in this way and if they have ever terminated any of them, what kind of legal trouble could they make? ...

Over the past four months I have been hired by companies ***** after passing all the necessary tests and background checks as a medical transcriptionist. Each and every time I was offered $ 0.9/line, told I would have very little voice recognition if any which, would pay anywhere from $0.3 to 0.5/line. Once I get onboard and through training, I find out 90% is voice recognition!! I am applying for medical transcriptionist jobs - not Editor, QA, or Speech. I have been in t ...

I was wondering what others think about this. When QA sends feedback at my company, the feedback is also sent to all regional manager and all the team leaders in that region. I think this creates unnecessary embarassment and humiliation for the MT getting the feedback and I feel this practice is unfair, especially when they are not critical errors. Feedback is supposed to be helpful and encourage the MT to improve and step up their game but when it is done th ...

I recently got 'promoted' to MME, having taken the test with the understanding that I would receive a 5% pay raise to my transcription and VR base rates (according to MM intranet MME FAQs document). But the recent e-mail we received, asking tier-3 MTs to become MMEs, says we are "eligible to be considered for" a pay raise. What? Does that mean my raise is going to be raffled off or something? Feels like bait and switch, and just another example of sketchy practi ...

I F11`d a report a few weeks ago and now I got a generic F11 best practices email. It states the only acceptable use of F11 is an exception listed in a CP. I have never seen that in a CP! I have also found, besides being very inefficiently written, many CPs are out of date, i.e., states you must do certain things that have since changed. It is SO frustrating! The document was such a hot mess that I had to retype it as 90% of the ASR was garbage. ...

Can anyone tell me if Precyse still has Precyse University for training.

I would like to reapply but do not want to if they still do Precyse University training. ...

I work at Precyse and it seems things have been strange lately and I was wondering if any of my fellow slaves know what's happening there. For example, all of a sudden lots of work for many weeks now (previously was having NJA all the time), so much work that we're way out of TAT with a lot of accounts, yet I see no place where Precyse is advertising jobs for MTs, including their own web site. Also, the sudden firing of a number of QA people and a few lower to middle management p ...
