Anyone respond to OTI ad and hear back? - dmt


Posted: Feb 08, 2011

Was just wondering if any of you submitted a response to their ad and heard back from them.  Thanks!

I did not apply but did write them an email with questions regarding their latest ad. I have not heard anything back. I just do not want to go through the testing and all the "paperwork" stuff before finding out a bit about what to expect in the way of cpl rate, etc. I hate it when they say they need help but they aren't willing to answer an email. Good luck to you!

I can tell you that if you are hired on the new account - OTIer

it will pay 8 cpl. I don't think they are hiring at any higher rate.

Could you please tell us what you mean, what to look out for? Sometimes very hard when there's a good recruiter involved, which I had happen to me once, great picture painted for me but bait-and-switch when came time to start work.
This is a disgruntled OTI person. OTI is really NOT that bad. - nm

With the new account there is plenty of work available.

and I can tell you that they overhire and then will stop answering all IMs and emails. I was working on an account and transcribing over 2200 lines a day on it, sometimes more and then suddenly the account dried up, completely. This was a clinic with about 40 doctors, good steady work and it was gone. I asked why, no answer, I asked for additional accounts, no answer. Again, I went from transcribing over 2200 lines or more a day and I mean every day, to almost nothing. I finally gave up and resigned, to which I received a very short email that stated that I was a valued MT and they wish that I would reconsider, right. If I had been so valued then why not answer my IMs, my emails, give me back up accounts, etc. At the same time that I resigned there were also 4 other girls that I worked with over a period of time there with that resigned as well.

I hope that these new accounts work out for everyone that has been hired but if OTI holds true to their history, in a very short period of time this forum will be flooded with complaints of no work by OTI MTs. Again, I hope that is not the case.
That is exactly what happened to me. Acct. dried up - me in NJ

and even after repeatedly asking for more work, they wouldn't. They would beg for current accts to have help with their back log, but when I would ask if I could help with those accounts NO RESPONSE.

My advice? Enjoy it while you have work (if 8 CPL is enjoyable; as an IC that's rather low). But when your account is suddenly gone, don't expect them to help you out or move you somewhere else. They make TONS of promises that they won't keep. Just my experience.

exactly what you wrote "when there is a good recruiter involved"... MANY MTs have been burned by management, promises made and not kept, carrots dangled and then taken away with no reason...trust your gut

Thanks for the info! - dmt

[ In Reply To ..]
That seems a bit low for IC, is that what everyone there makes for line rate? But guess that seems to be the trend these days ): Maybe would be okay if the account is decent...

Good luck to you, too! - dmt

I sent an inquiry through their link, which was filling out some basic information. Let us know if you hear back! Thanks!

I applied with "Bayscribe Position" in the subject line. Was contacted within an hour and - Relieved

[ In Reply To ..]
My email/cover letter was targeted to the Bayscribe position noting that I had significant Bayscribe experience as an MDI/Transcend employee. Oracle has hired several MDI/Transcenders recently and didn't require me to test. I gave notice to Transcend that same day.

I like the new account and they already have some good samples for the speedy dictators. Of course, being able to keep all of my old short cuts in the expander tool since I didn't delete the software is a huge plus! It's great being able to change employers and be immediately productive since I already know the platform. There's tons of work and at least I don't have the worry of getting knocked down to 4 cpl because of VR - this account has "been there, done that" and want no part of it or offshoring, just quality work (what a concept LOL).

Bayscribe - dmz

[ In Reply To ..]
I have been there since Oct and was hired without testing based on my years or experience with the bonus of knowing Bayscribe from MDI employment also, was told that my work would speak for myself. A very good concept for those hiring to consider instead of all that wasted time testing. Love the accounts. They are busy at all hours. I anticipate being busy for quite a while.

Good to see we had the same professional, pleasant hiring experience :-) nm - Relieved
