If Nuance is running out of work, why are they seemingly hiring all the time? SM - Loretta

Posted: Dec 29, 2011

I have an interview/job offer scheduled with them. Maybe I should just say 'thanks but no thanks'?

It's probably all about the TAT. - nm

I think it depends on which account you get. - sm

I've heard a few people say they got OT this week. My account is usually pretty steady except for this week.

Whether you should take the job or not, only you can decide but don't discount everything you read here.

I weighed it all out with the info from someone I know personally who works there. She has a great account, great TL, plenty of work, able to flex her schedule.

My experience has been somewhere in the middle of her and the posts on this board. It's not the best job I've ever had, but certainly not the worst either.

I ask the same question - ST

about Transcend. Same thing, no work and countless eager new hires coming on board. Do you think that like McDonalds they want to keep everybody at part time status so they don't have to offer benefits?

reminds me of the durn telemarketing companies. Put as much stress as you can on people, then they only last so long and in the meantime you have a pool of others to choose from. It's nuts. You're not going to keep quality, experienced people this way. Just no logic in this at all. Then having people worry about not having enough work, etc. No sense in this at all.

Tired of Nuance :( - MT

I have a few different accounts w/ Nuance and sat around half of my day today also and part of the day yesterday! I have a couple other accounts I'm experienced on too but wasn't able to go to them. I've gotta find something else for $$$ This is not cutting it!

Many times it has to do with a certain shift. - nm

I have to wonder why nuance is posting jobs that would be a promotion to regular MTs but not advertising them in-house. As part of a company that was taken over a while ago, we were fed lines about all the "opportunity" to advance. I find it hard to believe that in a company as large as nuance, they couldn't find a single person to fill those jobs.

Hiring again? Ad stated if necessary, need to provide 2-3 written references. How 'bout they do the same. Doubt if they could do that. IF the QA lady (the only one they have who is crazy anyway) can get her head out of the garbage can, she might contact you with bits and pieces of her so-called brain. The owner is just as bad. Beware of this company. It is a total waste of time. They scam your lines and lie about it. They scam your space ...

I am currently working at a company and with the way things are going with all of these companies, I am just afraid of layoffs. It's sad to see all of the same transcription companies on the job boards hiring, and it seems by reading the boards none of them are worth working for. I sure wish when I decided to go into transcription I could have looked into the future a few years. I have been doing transcription now for 6 years. I am thankful I do have my job still and ...

Wondering if anyone could give me some tips or suggestions on Nuance hiring. I thought I had applied a year ago and did not hear from them. When I went back in to try again it still showed that I was "being considered for the position" and would not allow me to apply to any other job opening. After trying my best with very little resources I just created a new account and reapplied to the position. I still have not heard from them and it has been 3 weeks. I was just wondering from thos ...

How can they be hiring when they are sending all of the work to India, even QA work is going to India. Most QAs are being dropped down to MLS on what domestic accounts we have left. I guess that's the new corporate America. How can they transcribe or QA, they have no English sense of grammar. They cannot tell the difference between slang and normal English phrasing. Yes, they are going to start making absolutely absurd errors against our MLS that are left in FIESA. I don't kn ...

I see the post about going from full to part time, but what about the opposite? For example, if I get hired at 30 hours per week and I have extra time available for a few weeks, can I consistently work more hours than those scheduled 30 hours? Thanks for any insight you can give. ...

Is this common (the 1 yr exp only requirement). Transcend has always required at least 3 years. One has to wonder if the 1 year exp is an easy ploy to offer lower pay. I worry about this since from what we can summize we will be moved to be in line with Nuance payscale at some point shortly. Is anyone else make this 1 yr experience connection? ...

Hi to Everyone: I have very carefully studied the flowsheets from the recorded webinar. I have been with Focus/Nuance for 4 years now. My skill level is Acute Care. I work on the Escription platform. It is the only platform I have ever used, but it seems pretty good. I joke and call the VR "Victor" when it is misbehaving. Anyway, my new pay rate is 0.825 for typing and 0.413 for editing. I have averaged out that I should receive about 330 dollars a mont ...

I am considering a part time position with this company. As a part time employee, I was expecting the hours to be 4 hours a day, but a friend of mine also with Nuance says part time involves 8 hours on either Sat. or Sun. I was expecting and perfectly OK with 4 hours on the weekend, like any other day a part time person would normally work. Why would they expect a part time person to work 8 hours on a day when the dictation is coming in at a lesser rate than M-F if a weekend day is a normal w ...

Does Nuance offer flex time? I work for Accentus and they're very flexible when it comes to when I have to work; nobody says anything as long as I produce, whether I get on a 6 am, off at 7, on again at 9, off at 2, on again at 7 off 9, etc. I'm going to have a huge problem if there's no flexibility in my schedule. ...

1. The dream. Attorney: So, _________, Nuance HR person, explain to the court how it is you go about determining whether someone at Nuance is "promoted" to a QC position? Attorney: And in what ways does that differ from the process you utilize to assure the quality of work from the "everyday" MTs? Attorney: What standard is utilized as a baseline for the MTs, in terms of accuracy or "correctness". Is it 95%, 98%, 99.5% -- just what is it? And what standard is uti ...

I just had interview with Softscript and found out that they do not hire any part-time MT's. Here they let me do testing and go to all that trouble and never even looked at my application, where I distinctly siad I wanted only part-time. Just shows how much they look at your application. So I am wondering now if Nuance hires that way. If not then this is probably a waste of time too. Very frustrating that these companies do not let you know up front. ...

Used to work for Transcend and loved that you input your own time card. You could put down 8 hours even if it took you 10 to make your lines/$. Sorry to see employees will now have to use that same stupid clock we all do. Not hard, just a pain in the (&*&. When we were acquired by Nuance we still use our old system with time clock built in and the new one too. Then the reduction in wages. All in all... not a joyful union. My sympathies are ...

I currently work for Nuance and am looking for part time work. Accentus is hiring but I heard Nuance bought them out. So, are they still separate and I can apply? or would I in fact be working for the same company? Getting desparate for a PT job as Nuance is not cutting it with having to stick to the 8 hous a day. Thanks ...

I can do it most of the time, but every now and then I miss it, sometimes by as much as 20 lines per hour. I have had 1 email asking that I use my time more productively and make the line count. I actually do use my time as productively as I can. I admit, although I have done this for years, I am not great with VR editing. Also, with the high standards and deductions in FIESA, I really listen and listen again to much of my transcription so I don't fall below wanted numbers there. I am doing ...
