Postcard from Transcend....anybody here get an invite to apply - for a job there?

Posted: Jul 10, 2011

About a week or so ago I got a postcard in the mail, inviting me to apply at Transcend. Is this a good place to work? I won't say what company I work for now but it's much talked about here and it's the pits to work for.

So, is Transcend any better? Anybody have any input on this? I did go to the website on the postcard they sent me (it was a personalized web addy that contained my name) and filled out a short questionnaire about my experience, etc., and they said somebody on the recruiting team will be getting in contact with me.

Had you applied to them in the past? How did they get your address? - Just Curious. nm

But I went online and applied and was told a recruiter will contact me. I guess I'll see if they actually call.

I got one a few weeks ago, also "personalized." Not sure where they got my info. It went in the recycle bin!

They had a glut of people apply and need no QA. I have no idea if they need MTs still or not.

I worked for them before, good company to work for. Benefits and all. Took some time to build up speed on the accounts they gave me, but overall, not a bad thing I had to say about them.

Thats odd, because I just got an email from Keystrokes - Out of the blue

I applied for, was offered and accepted a position with them 3 years ago. I ended up ultimately declining their offer as another offer with a higher pay rate came through, but I haven't applied nor contacted them since.

Is it the time of year where all the MTSOs dig through their files and solicit maybe?

Weird, you with Transcend and me with Keystrokes. Hmmmmmm.

I got a postcard too. I also got a pay cut which is really hard.

I'm still laughing. I worked there for 2 weeks and couldn't get out of there fast enough. It shows a very happy woman sitting comfortably at her desk smiling away. She can't possibly work there! It says work from home on a flexible schedule (I don't think so!), competitive CPL rates (oh really?), growth opportunities (again, I don't think so). They are also offering a $500 sign-on bonus for full-time hire by 12/31/12, to be paid following 90 days of employment. Oh, one l ...

How soon after you sent your resume did you get an invite to take the test? I sent mine on late Tuesday and no invite yet.

Need a couple years of coding experience before anyone else will even consider hiring me and will also be able to get the A off my credentials. ...

I was checking my private e-mail's today and had an e-mail from a person who didn't give their full name but stated in essence that they need transcriptionists and if interested to send in her my resume with no other information at all. This sounds kind of off to me. Why wouldn't you identify yourself and what company you represent? ...

The recruiter said that they had merged with Transcend and that there was plenty of work, etc. I do need a job as my unemployment benefits will be running out by the beginning of the new year, or sooner if phas ...

Just want to be sure my fellow MTs are well informed. If you apply at Teletrak, be prepared to be offered 8 cpl for 65 VBC line - this amounts to approximately 30% reduction in pay with the negative spaces. I used several old reports and figured line counts all ways and it was almost 30% less each time with VBC. I was told by the recruiter, "You'll probably have to work a few extra hours a day to make what you're used to, but in order to keep the client in a long-term ...

I would totally be leery of this job. They are liars and cheats and are always wanting you to work your days off and over, but pay you NO OVERTIME!! THIS COMPANY SUCKS AND DOES NOT GIVE A RATS BEHIND ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. I have worked there 4 years and never got a raise, much less any respect for the 21 years I have worked as an MT. They have no respect for their employees. I WOULD NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. THE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES......... ...

besides the resume do you add--how much selling of your skill, etc? Some companies won't open an attachment, so I get the feeling they don't want much more. My feeling is if they see the resume and want more info they will contact me, but never sure. Thanks for any insight. ...

I didn't apply. I work for a big national. I make so little money, I have to raid my savings every month to pay my rent. I've been seeking & applying for MT jobs all over the area, some as far as 80 miles away, and either not hearing back, or being tol ...

Did anyone else apply to this company in the past few days? I took the test and was waiting for a response from the company. Today I sent an email to follow up, and I received a reply stating that I had failed to submit a resume with my application and thus would not be considered for a position. I truly don't remember seeing that I needed to submit a resume. Did anyone else apply and do you remember if the instructions said to submit a resume? Ughhh. What a stupid mistake I made!!! ...

Thank you in advance! By the way - anyone work there? From what I have learned is an MT, depending on the position you are hired, may get benefits from the Diskriter or benefits from the hospital in which you are assigned? Is that a good gig? Hospital benefits rock! I miss them! ...

I sent an email to the recruiter for Keystrokes asking that very question, but never got a response. I don't think its crazy to want to know about their benefits, or the pay, before you even bother to go through the whole process of applying and testing. Am I wrong? Set me straight folks! Thanks! ...

I went to their website where I tried to follow directions. They make it impossible. They ("Now Transcription") want you to fill out an application through "Accord Human Resources", then save it and email it to them along with your resume. But the application will not allow anyone to save it, or submit it anywhere as is. You basically waste your time filling it out just to find out nothing you filled out will be saved. And there's a huge glitch with the em ...
