SOFTSCRIPT IS A BAIT AND SWITCH COMPANY! - Rrr


Posted: Feb 07, 2015

Hey SoftScript employee below trying to defend company, I am writing in all caps too, but I did not post anything prior.  SOFTSCRIPT DOES USE A BAIT AND SWITCH TECHNIQUE.  THIS HAPPENED TO ME!  Want proof?  I worked for .  The recruiter is .  I never even was trained for the position I was hired for, but a week into working for SS, I was contacted by HR stating, "You are not the right fit."  I stayed on for a month, until a position with another company came along.  During that month, not one person filled that spot for the fake position, yet I saw multiple listings for that fake position.  This is how they get their MTs.  If you are not the right fit for one of their fake positions and you stay on as an MT, you are not eligible for their MT sign on bonus.  I actually don't know of a single person who ever received the sign on bonus.  WANT MORE PROOF I FELL FOR THE BAIT AND SWITCH?  Call their main number and ask for .  They both work in HR.  HOW'S THAT FOR ALL CAPS SS EMPLOYEE?  Defend that!

Same hapened to me TWO YEARS AGO. This - clearly is nothing new.

There is a reason they are constantly running ads to hire. Seems their new one is dangling a $27/hr carrot.

NOPE NOTHING NEW - HAPPENED TO ME TOO - Bad News

Looks to be a pretty apparent pattern. All anyone really has to do is watch the history of advertising on these companies. Pretty much tells the whole story. When they say - lots of work with new accounts, read between the lines because it means, we have to keep hiring because everyone finds us out and keeps quitting. Let them flounder as they are obviously doing.

SOFTSCRIPT HAS BAIT AND SWITCH LISTINGS AGAIN!
Mar 18, 2015

Here we go again, around and around!  SoftScript is looking for more trainers, mentors, and managers!  What is wrong with them?  Every few days they post these same jobs.  As I have said before, these are not real positions.  If you apply for one of them, there is a good chance you will be hired.  However, after you work there for a few days, you will receive a phone call or an e-mail telling you that you are not the right fit.  It happens over and over and ove ...

BabbleType Bait And Switch
Jun 27, 2012

Hi, all,  Remember the most recent ad that BabbleType placed here at MTStars?  They were practically pleading with MTs and QAs to contact them and clear out their huge back log (tens of thousands of audio files they said). There was no mention of an exam; just contact them and request an assignment.  If you need training to be a QA editor, no problem -- just ask, and they would provide training.  Blah, blah, blah.  The direct quote in the ad was this:&nbs ...

Nuance Testing Compared To Other Company Tests, Ie Softscript.
Mar 21, 2012

I have taken so many tests lately with probably dozens of companies.  I am wondering how you feel about Nuance tests and if it is harder or easier than the other companies.  I personally thought Softscript test was kind of hard, compared with Nuance.  Some of the transcription audio files were a little hard with mumbling and fast talking dictators, but really not bad when compared to others.   Hopefully I might be hired with Nuance, so no more testing, I hope.  I ha ...


Stop Taking The MTSO Bait Here. It's The Negative Diversion They're Banking On.
May 21, 2012

Don't argue with them; stay focused.  They think we're so stupid, so desperate, that we'll waste precious time arguing with them here. They incite to elicit angry replies, so our posts are deleted. Prove them wrong; ignore the obvious taunts from MTSO's posing as "happy" MTs. Don't reply to them.  Simply post above them and stay focused.  They only post to incite anger and elicit knee-jerk replies, and our responses are removed, deleted. They th ...

Switch To IC

My previous employer provided my computer and all the software.  I'm thinking about trying independent contracting since most of the jobs I've seen require your own equipment anyway, but how do you know what equipment to get?  Each company seems to have their own preferences.  I'd like to have what would work across the board if I need to work on several accounts.  I've read about using a different tax form too, but can anyone tell me what else I would nee ...

New To ASR/Told Had To Switch To ME By 07/01
Jun 30, 2010

I am sweating this out, as everyone else has, and it is not working for me.  The rules are too vague, the training insufficient, and I am struggling with doing whatever I can to get through the report and trying to correct "correctly" - whatever way that really is, there is no explanation.  I don't know when to use F11.  I gave ASR a 4-month try 4-5 (?) years ago when it first was implemented, and see similar non-recognition issues, similar heading issues, and probably I am ...

I don't know too much about KVM switches, but I am getting ready to start two new jobs and have two different computers.  I thought I might try one. Today, my foot pedal for my second job came in and low and behold, it is the same one for my first job.   Do any of you know if there is a KVM that will switch keyboard, video, monitor, headphones, AND foot pedal, and can you recommend one to me.  I'm trying to research, but all this techie jargon makes my head hurt an ...

would be really nice if we didnt have to use the "dep" to search and not be allowed to be signed into the other one without that at the same time..Never used to be like that it is really annoying..They say check samples, well you check samples and there are none,in the meantime it kicks you out of the other and when you sign back into it it doesnt save your information so you start from scratch and they wonder why we have so much inactive time... ...

Switch From MTs To MMEs Has Started

Well folks, email today regarding yet another MQ program- Account Trustee- those of us with good quality scores have the HONOR of sending reports directly through to the client with 2 blanks or less, thus bypassing QA.  Instead of addressing the issue WHY QA is so backlogged (could it be because so many QA were underpaid and have left) this is the new decision.  ...

Help...Account Wants To Switch From Tapes To ?
Sep 09, 2010

I have always transcribed either from a C-phone, tapes, or worked for a national that had their own dictation platform. My local account wants to switch from tapes to something similar to Emdat and wants my advice. He has very little dictation and just needs something that he can dictate from any phone, where I can access it from home. Obviously, I'm not up to speed on new technology so any friendly advice would be helpful. Thank you! ...

Lately I have not been able to stay on the same account more than 2 days in a row.  Since my primary that I was on for 6 years went VR and I did not go with it, I have been switched from one account to another to another.  They say my work is great but I do not like being a floater.  I did not mind at first because at least I still had a job; however, this does have negative consequences on my income since I have to constantly learn new specifics and docs, etc.  I am beg ...

Careers MTs Switch To--Ideas?

What type of careers are any one of you who are leaving MT or who are former MTs are retraining for? I'm very undecided. I'm not too crazy about being in school a long time or least longer than 1-1/2 to 2 years. I thought about coding but heard that that field is changing too like MT. I would like to stay in the medical field but I'm not sure about the degree of direct patient contact I want. I thought about radiology technician but not really sure. Any ideas to at least all ...
