Nuance Recruiting SCAM - Nuance MT Employee


Posted: Jun 20, 2011

Nuance recruited me with a promise of six paid holidays, the usual major U.S. holidays.  It includes these holidays in its (new) Employee Handbook.  However, I have just learned that Nuance does NOT provide paid holiday pay per se.  It provides a measley "incentive" of 25% above usual line pay only if one works the holiday.  STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY'S RECRUITERS.  This company's benefits are the worst I have seen in the industry.  Since hospitals have begun outsourcing work to MTSO's, these companies (including Nuance) have turned our profession into a huge sweatshop.  I, for one, am getting out.  We should begin rating these companies and organizing a massive work-stoppage day until they start paying us what we are worth.  NURSING ASSISTANTS make more than medical transcriptionists!

When talking to a recruiter, ask this question: If I accept employment, what monetary incentive, if any, do you receive?

well, the monetary incentive used to be a paycheck, - I think we can see where this is going

I didnt go to school and work 15 years in this industry to make minimun wage, or less and not even be compensated up to minimum wage!

You know you are in deep stuff when your 14-year-old makes more than you blending milkshakes. How much knowledge does it take to blend a milkshake? Do they have HIPAA violations for making a milkshake? Could they be fined up to $25,000 to make that milkshake wrong?

TIME FOR A NO BRAINER JOB FOR ME!

I agree, so sad. I made more money years ago in-hospital and was respected. We need to do something. But no one wants to stick together.

Most lettuce-pickers in Salinas make more per - hour than MTs do. And have more rights.

TTS Recruiting?????
May 02, 2011

Just saw on Job Seeker's board TTS is recruiting.  This ad is dated 04/27.  That's strangely funny.  I'm looking for a job on Job Seeker's board because I work for TTS and am running out of work.  I even asked for a second account and the management told me they didn't have a second account to give me.  This company is lying to somebody.  I don't know if it's to me or to MTs who they want to recruit.  There is n ...


TTS Recruiting AGAIN! Seems They Can't Keep MTs
Jun 04, 2011

Saw another recruitment ad for TTS on the job seekers board dated 06/03.  For such a small company they seem to go through MTs quickly.  Only two of five hired survive after six weeks of employment according to owner's assistant.  I am one of the TTS MT casualties. My fellow MTs don't waste your time with TTS.  I just left there so unfortunately I know personally it is a roller coaster ride to work for them and in the end you will end up leaving ...


Transcend Recruiting
May 06, 2010

I read Trancend's newest job listing on the Job Seekers Board, which gave me a good laugh. "Are you tired of working for the same old type of MTSO where managers donĂ¢€™t return your calls or emails, you never have enough work, or you canĂ¢€™t work the hours that you signed up for? Then consider Transcend! If you work for another MTSO and have heard that your work will be going offshore, then consider jumping over to Transcend before your ship sinks!" I personally find this false adverti ...


TTS Recruiting AGAIN Today????
May 12, 2011

I cannot believe the audacity of the owners/managers to keep trying to recruit on MT Stars (see job seeker's board) when there isn't enough work to go around on TTS and they treat you terrible.  Obviously they can't keep MTs but they do keep management which is why they can't keep MTs.   Either TTS is trying to dump awful accounts on new recruits or they are trying to recruit anticipating the newest round of MTs leaving their ...

Using Recruiting Companies For MT Jobs
Jan 04, 2011

I have been unemployed as an MT now since last April. I have uploaded my resume to many different sites, careerbuilder.com, Monster, etc. Every morning or so I get an email from one of them showing me the new jobs on the site and one always basically comes from an MT recruiting company that says pay could be from $25K to 65K depending on experience. (I think the days of $60K are gone!) My question is if anyone on this board has gone that route presently or in the past with that type of recruiti ...

I can't believe the management dumped more MTs.  One week they fired 7 MTs and we were asked to work extra even though usually we run out of work. Sounds like mismanagement is still the TTS way of doing things.  Wonder if the same owner and supervisors are there?  Anybody know?  ...

Scam Ads

just curious... I see the scam ad for belly fat on main screen here now.  This "julie" person does the exact same advertising for several products - same wording.  There's no such person, no such TV station.  If you look closely, top of screen has word ADVERTORIAL on status line.  That is their blanket disclaimer that pretty much means it's all made up, not a factual person or situation.  Just a story.  Why is it on this site? ...

A company called Global Marketing Specialist Group has been trying to post ads repeatedly.  They are NOT an MTSO company.  They want you to pay $165 for a "background check" and then they will give you a list of potential employers or clients.  They are trying to post more ads using alternative e-mail addresses such as gmsgtranscription@.   DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM.  They are not being up front with you and are simply trying to make money from you.  You shoul ...


Transform Scam?
Sep 28, 2010

Is anybody else going through this?  Transform used to be a great company, been there for years making good pay, good accounts.  Lately they have just insituted this fancy new "pay" system where our base pay has been decimated but we get to make up some of it up by jumping through all these hoops, like typing more than 1000 lines gets you a percentage increase (percentage of what), using typing keyboard "shortcuts" gets you more crumbs here and there.  In the end we really don ...

Hello everyone, I've never posted on here before, but a good friend suggested I do so.  I've been working for a company, Astat Transcription, and I fear that they are not going to pay me the last two paychecks that I am due.  I gave them two week's written notice of my intentions to leave and they asked me to continue working for two weeks, which I did.  They tell me they sent me an email asking me to stop work on Nov. 30 and that they would mail my final check, bu ...


Why Is AHDI A Scam, You Ask?
Aug 28, 2012

It was a get-rich scheme from the very beginning. Brilliant, really. Except that when they championed the offshoring of our work, and the lowering of our wages, they made it so that most MTs with anything between the ears but empty space would question the value of the BOS, the validity of the CMT, and the very existence of this so-called "for-the-MTs" organization. S - Superficial,C - Contrived,A - andM - Meritless! ...

New Pay Scam Vs Old Pay Plan
May 31, 2015

They've been sticking me with 1 "error" just about every other week. That 1 "error" brings my pay down to just about 8 cpl, very close to minimum wage every other week. I got to thinking. With the old pay plan I was getting the quarterly bonus almost every time. That means I had at least 99.5% accuracy for 3 months at a time. So I ran a report on my QA jobs for the past 3 months. My QA accuracy came to 99.6%.  Same accuracy as on the old pay plan, but yet I'm such a bad transcrip ...
