Anyone see the ad on job seeker's board....Nuance - offering 2K sign on bonus?

Posted: Mar 11, 2015

How can they do this when so many are constantly OOW? Really, WHAT is their motivation for this? Why would they want to pay a single MT $2000 when they could just give the work to the MTs w/o work?

Nuance OOW - suewmt

I have been with Nuance for five months and my experience has been positive. They really make an effort to keep their MTs working. They provide secondary accounts and will switch your accounts if they find you are running out of work consistently.

Ahahahahahahaha! Rrrrright..... - I know an MT who cant pay her bills SM

this month and has no idea what she's going to do.

That's making an effort to keep the MTs working????

Right there with her - under the bridge

Can't pay my bills or rent either. My 83-year-old mum who's on a fixed income is having to help me out. Bless her heart and don't know what I'd do without her. She was so proud of me that I had this job with this company for 11 years and was doing so well... This all makes no sense, but I hope they're sleeping well..

Five months? - Starry eyed

How long, may I ask, have you been a transcriptionist?

The goal is to get rid of most of the acquireds and hire new - MTs who have no expectations.

...that is how and why they do it. Do not blame me for sounding ugly to say this, this is what I have observed and experienced. Honest, former hospital MTs often do not know BOS and they have been paid enough to live on. Why keep 'em? Nuance has the acquireds sort of by default, not by intention. All they really wanted was to sell the facility the latest software and ship the leftover work off to India.

So, they will not likely ever hurry to keep "acquired MTs" in work. I would absolutely love them to prove me wrong on this.

They prefer the long, slow starve, as opposed to risking any overt action. - If you happen to squeak by,

you just get stuck with the very most horrible speakers dictating horrible reports or switched to new accounts all the time until you give up and leave. I do not believe all TSMs do this, but I can NAME some that do.

That bonus never gets paid, I bet anything. If it does - there is something tweaked SM

somewhere to make it seem like people really do earn the bonus.

No, they work very hard to make sure any eligible MT gets screwed out of that bonus.

A $2000 sign-on bonus is nothing more than bait.

OOW - ta

I have been OOW ever since I started working for Nuance, at least one day a week. I think it is because they fire so many people, they need to keep hiring. They have been threatening to let me go 2 months after I was hired. They SUCK!! If anyone knows of employers who treat their employers decently, can you let me know?

When I first log onto MT Stars and go to Job seeker's board the last thing it shows is an ad for a radiology MT from towards the beginning of November. Then if I go into forums and then job seeker's it shows the last job posting as 11/30/11. I was just curious if that is right and pickings are just that slim or if there might be a problem with the site. ...

Just checked out the job seeker's board and came across someone willing to work for 5 cents per 65-character line and 7 cents if the audio is poor quality. I just cannot believe someone would ADVERTISE or SELL themselves to work for such a low rate of pay, which probably would not even equal to minimum wage!!!!!! If you want to get screwed do not advertise, just go to work for a few of the national MTSOs that do not have a good reputation on this board!!!!!& ...

I see that Transtech is hiring once again for oncology. I would like to know if this account has enough work and what the percentage rate of straight transcription versus VR would be. Are there a lot of ESL dictators...don't mind some but really do not want to get stuck with 90%, so if you have any knowledge of this account, please let me hear everything you like or dislike, please. Also, what do they pay for a seasoned oncology transcriptionist, fair, low or hopefully bet ...

There's a posting by Blair's Transcription Services. First, I can't even find this "company" on the internet to verify it, and second, they're requiring the purchase of a C-phone. I'll admit, I didn't know what a C-phone was, so I looked it up. Those things are about $900 each!!! If they're wanting me to spend more money on an instrument to receive the dictation than I did on my fully-loaded computer, they need to offer a heck of a bette ...

Do you ever come to this website and see what you think would be the perfect job for you and then realize it has had over 100 views so far and think to yourself that you don't stand a chance if you apply because so many have probably already done so? Sometimes I feel like I need to stay on this website and refresh my screen every minute just to catch a break. How does one stand out and actually get these positions? Do you have to be among the first to reply? ...

Be careful of responding to the post by Mike Witkowski - a few years back he pulled this same type of thing with needing transcriptionists "right away" - the whole process was very shady and then he tells you that you don't meet his "requirements" after you transcribe a test.....just a head's up. ...

That was offering part-time acute care work for ICs. Almost immediately after I applied I received an email from them stating how interested they were in me and asked that I fill out their questionnaire. Only a one page deal so I started filling it out. Down at the bottom it asked what my salary requirements were and even though they posted up to 9.5 cpl I placed 10 to 11 cpl, taking into consideration 25 years experience and it is an IC position. The next portion of this ...

Anyone have any information about Metropolitan Psych Services? They have an ad on the Job Seeker’s Board. It says they are in New York. Goggling “Metropolitan Psych Services” comes up with nothing. But when you Google the listed Email address, it shows they had a similar ad on the Job Seeker’s Board in August of 2010 and claimed to be in New Jersey. Same Email address so I assume it is the same company, although no company name was listed in ...

Just like in these forums there are a few who dislike everything whether they like it or not. One job posted as "Easy OT and PT work" pays .08 for the GROSS line which is significantly higher than the character line. Are there people who don't know this? In other words you would be making the equivalent to .10 of .11 CPL on this job, yet 3 had to dislike it. What did you dislike about this? Don't you want to discourage low pay and encourage a job that ...

IMHO, if the emphasis was on patient quality care like it used to be, the dictators would know what they are doing and speak clearly. Reports a great deal of time look like Swiss cheese because of them, NOT the MT. Horrible, deplorable dictators, period. Put the blame where it belongs. In a production based job, we should not be having to go through what we do, and incentives are lost based on this. Get bad dictators a lot? What happens...no incentive if more than 10% is sent to be listened to.. ...

an email recently for a "concerned" MLS - never, ever had that happen on this board until the posts went up about the DOJ, DOL and all the bogus "errors" the QCs are hitting us for. Check out the posts saying "what do you mean bogus errors - can you be specific; I don't get it; what errors?" What MLS working for Nuance does not understand what a "bogus error" by Indian QC is? Work for Nuance for a nanosecond, and you know immediately they dump on the MLS� ...
