anyone really hiring? - Need2MTnow

Posted: Nov 16, 2012

Does any one know of a company that is TRULY hiring? The small company I worked for no longer has the account I was. They have nothing steady for me to do right now. Christmas is coming and I have 5 kids and everything is going wrong (septic tore up, car tore up, etc.). There are tons of posts for Nuance, Softscript, etc.... (tho I prefer a small company that actually cares about its MTs) I apply, I test, I don't hear anything back. I have 10 years experience. I can learn anything, but have experience in many specialties. I thought today was going to be a good day. I emailed with a recruiter yesterday back and forth. I sent her my resume, she emailed me back right away, we sent 3 or 4 exchanges. I even agreed to the cpl rate that is less than I have ever worked for just to get going, I got the test and tested. I emailed it back to her and now nothing... not even a response to whether or not the file was recieved. I need work like NOW!!! Any real companies that are not just casting out the net to see how many fish will jump in... I need a company that i can apply, test, and then go to work. This has been going for 6 weeks and while my little MTSO I work for is throwing everyting at me they can, I need something more than making $400 a month to maybe $800 a month. Please help if you can. My MTSO will give me excellent references.

I tested for MModal, did the first phone interview (which took over a week after testing to get) and it then took almost two weeks for the recruiter to call with a job offer.

I didn't take it though. I work at Nuance and finally got put on an account with plenty of work and MModal sounds worse than Nuance.

It is definitely harder to get call backs then it was a few years ago.

MModal is part of Medquist now, i think. I worked for MQ it was awful... locked into their schedule... sitting there with no work... very frustrating. Even when I turned in my notice, it came back saying I couldn't send it there.. after routing it to 5 different areas, I just worked the notice and figured they would figure it out. No one knew what anyone else was doing. I have applied at Nuance. No response. Your lucky to have an account with work. I wish I did. I keep trying to be optimistic, but its hard.

I was reading an article about employers on the - Monster website, and they said - S/M

any company that doesn't at the very least get back to you with a "no thanks" after you apply, has SERIOUS PROBLEMS, and you should be glad you weren't hired. Of course, we've already been saying that about MT companies for a long time, now. Any company that would treat a PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEE so shabbily - while ACTIVELY RECRUITING, will treat its employees, and its clientele, even WORSE.

Do a Google search for medical transcription jobs, check MTjobs.com, careerbuilder.com, etc. Check for local MT jobs, and if all else fails, apply for a seasonal retail position somewhere. Something is better than nothing. It is so much harder to find a job now than it was then. I remember being able to quit one job and get a job in less than a few weeks to a month. Good luck to you.

WTF is going on? I am no longer an MT, but I still care about a lot of people who are still TRYING to work at the Q. Just popped over to mtjobs and the Q has an ad on there for MTs wishing to embark on a world class....etc. It's unacceptable that the Q doesn't let anyone know what is going on at the MT level, starve out all the experienced ones they "acquired," then offshore to Inida and hire a bunch of newbies. I don't have any idea what sort of game they ...

I want to work a part time job to supplement my other part time job at Nuance because sometimes there is no work. I see an opening at TTS but when reviewing posts about TTS it sounds like a bad place to work with incompetent recruiters and managers. It seems 95% of the posts are bad regarding TTS. I am leery about working for a company that keeps advertising for help, especially if it isn't a large one like Nuance or MQ. Is this a good company where there is work or ...

Are any decent MTSOs actually hiring ICs... and I mean IC in the traditional meaning of the word; not locked into some arbitrary schedule design, but a daily line committment. I have 10 years experience. The company I was working for no longer has the account I was working on. They have given me some pick up work here and there, but I can't live on $100 a week or less from odd jobs while they find something new and steady. They estimate it may take 60-90 days for that to h ...

How is TTS (Transcription, Technology & Support) to work for as far as enough work, QA, and overall being a reputable company? I am guessing you do not make much money since it is all voice recognition. Just curious, because it seems like they have an ad every day, sometimes twice a day, looking for 2nd shift MTs. ...

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get..... That's about the only way you're going to get many experienced quality MTs. And there are always plenty of MTs looking for part-time weekend work as a 2nd job. ...

I'm a bit confused with Keystrokes. The ad they have placed here indicates wanting 40 people for new accounts, etc. However, I just received an email about job openings for only 2 very heavy ESL 1-9 shifts. I don't understand why they would have this ad and yet only be sending info about only the 2 jobs. I'm in their DATABASE and am sent these emails according to what opens up. I have not received anything about these supposed 40 j ...

Is this just a scam so that employers don't have to pay benefits and employer taxes? I bet if there was an audit, most ICs and MTSOs would be in trouble for using that classification improperly, especially for the full-time positions. I even applied for a full-time secretarial job in a small law office recently, and was told I would be hired as a contractor with no benefits. I was stunned and declined. I need to check with the labor department to see if some of my concern ...

Does anybody know if Keystrokes is hiring? I haven't seen any ads here for a while. I wanted to put in a resume, but only if it would be actually looked at and not just thrown in a drawer. I sent one to Transcend only to be told no openings available, and I'm going on their list. I've been on this list for a few months now, despite the frequent job ads placed, and have yet to be notified about anything available. ...

I see ads for Medtrans all over the internet for all different cities and you go to their website and it seems they are pushing you to take their course and then they will hire you. I am just confused because I keep seeing the companies advertise for months, yet they seem to say "no" a lot. I have 12 yrs experience in acute care, radiology, and clinic, and it's amazing to me how for some reason it seems impossible to pass these tests. Is it just me? ...

I am surprised to see the job ad for TransTech on the Job Board here...I thought they didn't have enough work. There are two ads actually, one for acute care, the other for oncology. Does anyone out there work on the oncology account and is there enough work. What is their cpl rate for someone who has 12 years experience in oncology. Also, what platform do they use? Thanks for your help. ...

They only hire for 2nd shift and that is to do the leftover, picked-through work from 1st shift. There is no way to make good money going this, though they give you a month to get up to 135 lph, which at 8.5 cpl is a whopping 11.48/hour. During training, on the 2nd evening of work, this is how I got treated, getting the worst of the work. I do not get any job satisfaction in doing others' leftover work; it makes me feel li ...

Medquist has an ad on the Job Seekers board. Why don't all of you who have NJA apply! I really have not found anything that great out there, but anything and I mean the worst of the worst is still better than MQ. I applaud you women who keep trying to make it work there. ...

I just posted this on the wrong board (Job Seekers, what an idiot I am). Anyway, I'll try again here. Does anyone know if the position FutureNet is hiring for is for an oncology account or acute care? I would like to apply but not sure I am qualified. I'm looking for hem/onc job. This is sort of confusing to me. I have never seen a company ask for acute care experience if it is for oncology transcription. Any information would be appreciated. ...
