They are not talking about KS. There is no "he" in recruiting there. nm
I don't think that there are any males at all except accounting.
MDI recruiting
I applied for a position with MDI, received an email the next day stating that the recruiter would like to interview me and wanted to know the best time to call over the next few days.  I replied to the email and several days went by without a phone call or email from them.  So I sent another email asking if they were still interested in me.  I received an email that stated interviews had been pushed back until the weekend and I would receive a call then.  It's is now Monday and still have not received a phone call or email.  Is the the way MDI does business?  If so, I want no part of it.  Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
recruiting
What are the requirements of a being a medical transcription recruiter ? How many years of acutual MT is required ?  Do you need any MT experience at all ?   
One of them did recruiting for another
company while she was *sick* or *without internet* for our company. What a joke and nobody in management was the wiser.
I believe this is a recruiting company...

Years ago, I worked for a company here in Georgia by the same name.  They hired for physician and dentist's offices at that time, different types of medical fields/specialties.  They only had in-house positions at that time, but I guess they have changed since most transcription is done via the internet now.  I also had a girlfriend who was a dental assistant who worked with them.  She stayed pretty busy and never had any complaints either.  Hope this helps.


Supervisor/Recruiting

Are there ever any supervisory/recruiter positions


posted here?


They all will be. Do they even bother recruiting in US

No need for a Recruiting Board here.

It was a guy recruiting wasn't it?
 
Perhaps recruiting has been offshored?

SharpHearing Recruiting
I heard SharpHearing Technologies is hiring newbies for home based medical transcription positions. I only have their email address sharphearing@gmail.com Please provide more details here if available.
Hard to believe they are recruiting. The newest sm
radiology MTs just ran out of work because they lost a major account.  We also lost a couple of other major acute care accounts.  They don't tell us what is going on, and it is really a slap in the face to see them recruiting. 
Here they are, recruiting again, when we are running out of work AGAIN. sm
What is wrong with these people at Webmedx?
I thought they were just a recruiting firm. nm
 
Recruiting expectation question

I've read quite a few posts about recruiting lately, and I have a question.


I have three teens, myself, and my husband in the house. When any of us have applied for a job we don't expect a response if we don't meet the employers needs. From applications to Starbuck's, to Abercrombie, to the Department of Energy, to private research and develoment firms, to major and minor MTSOs, none of us feel slighted if our responses aren't responded to EVER, much less immediately. So, I'm having trouble understanding the sense of entitlement that some MTs seem to have regarding what they are owed from recruiters. Have these people never applied for any other jobs? Do the same people complain if the corner Quik-Mart doesn't respond to them promptly regarding a cashier position? Is there something wrong with companies simply deciding not to hire on the MTSOs timeline, or hiring ever? I just don't get the sense of they owe me that seems to run through the thought processes.


My husband makes well over $100,000 a year, my kids make well under $3000 a year, and none of them (nor me) expect a response if we don't fit the needs of the company. So, what gives with  these MTs, and why is a response demanded by them in this industry, but seemingly no other? 


Nothing on their website about MT recruiting. Keep us posted! :) nm

Oh goody another TT recruiting hoopla!!
This is what I saw right around Xmas about these amex checks along with other positive yeays and hoorays for this company. Thought it all sounded too good to be true but I was optimistic Long story short, went to work for them based on this BS, it was too good to be true.
I believe a recruiting co. has been hired for this MTSO.
I've contacted thet MTSO to find out more information.
Possibly trying to get a recruiting bonus. nm

Has anyone used a recruiting company to find a job?
If so, how did that go? I need a new MT job (been out of it for about a year) and am having little luck finding anything reputable. I have over 5 years experience and seem to be coming to a lot of dead ends. I am getting seriously frustrated!
I went through a recruiting company, thinking they

would have leads on companies who might not want to post an ad for some reason and that I could find something paying better, etc.   They represented 2 companies I think, one of which I had already tested for, been offered a position, and rejected it.  They knew this but wanted me to go through the process again.  I did and they offere me the same thing that I was offered before and I again turned down the position and then never heard from the recruiting company again.  It was the same company mentioned by someone else.


I recommend posting your resume on all the free job boards and also applying to any company that meets your needs, as far as employee/IC and hours, etc.  


I have posted my resume before and got probably a dozen responses, most of which I weeded out right away due to low offers.  I tested for a few and was offered positions with all of them and even took one of the offers, but that company eventually went out of business.  I posted my resume again and months went by with not even 1 offer, and then several months later I got a few offers.  You just never know what the response will be. 


Anyone wonder why Transcend is always hiring and recruiting? Also Webmedx? Do they sm
have trouble keeping people?
didn't mean to stir up anything - how do you get into recruiting and what are the requirments an

how do you find jobs ?  Do not see a lot of postings for recruiters.  Thanks.


Anyone know which company Denise Williams is recruiting for?

for the Editor position?


The one recruiting is "friends" with the synthescribe person sm
and has a full time job making good money. i miss your point??
Not informed Professional MT Recruiting Service
As a student in a business law class and working on my AA in business administration, I can tell you this strange poster by Professional MT Recruiting Services is not well informed and smells of a troublemaker. Recently my law professor and another professor who is also a vice- president of a bank and deals with employees both discussed this topic a few months back. The current temperament and laws in most state make it very, very difficult for a former employer to say anything bad about a former employee because it makes that former employer open to big law suits. One would have to have committed a serious crime such as major theft from a company, and been convicted for a former employer to say anything negative about a former employee. In fact, both professors tell us that it is not worth the time or trouble to say negative things about a former employee for fear of law suits. Our law professor is a practicing attorney and a CPA who runs his own business, and if he is telling us he would not take the chance of saying something bad about a former employee who was less than an idea candidate, I am going to go with their expert advice. Both professors tell us it is better to be neutral and keep law suits at bay.
Transcend false recruiting/low work
I was hired two weeks ago to do Cardiology, but hardly any Cardiology. I am stuck voice-editing the leftover clinic notes!! Potential Transcend employees, beware!! Recruiters will say anything to snare you.
Isn't that job post from doctor recruiting work and not MTs? nm

MD IT recruiting methods are time consuming sm

I took a test that took an hour.  A recruiter contacted me to interview on the phone.  Another 35 minutes.  Then I was told that I would take another specialty test.  Then after that the people at a specific MD IT location would like to talk to me.  I spent one hour and 35 minutes.  I cannot see spending more time than that without being able to ask some dang questions like what the pay is... recruiter did not know, only that it was by the audio hour!!!???  No info about scheduling.


Are we so desperate that we will give a company 2 hours of our time without knowing what is in it for the slave?


 


This is crap!


I wasn't rude. All I said was that if I was trying to profit from recruiting people, I would
have left contact information. I didn't get called out and was never rude. How is stating FACTS rude? I'm also not offended because your logic makes no sense to me. I speak the truth. But it doesn't matter. If we have anything negative or positive to say about ANY company whatsoever, we're either recruiters or disgruntled ex-employees. I didn't get called out because there was nothing to call out on. Please, take your senseless accusations elsewhere. The board administrators know exactly who I am, so they can back me up when I say that I'm not a recruiter. I'm (GASP!) a happy employee FINALLY after ages of searching for the right company!!!!
Does TransHealth have a sign-on bonus? It seems like there are people recruiting for them on these
boards.  Are they really that great to work for?  I have heard mixed reports.
happy jolly dancing feet and faces recruiting sickening!!!!
blah!
Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually
afsd
I do not work for them, but I have done recruiting for companies of their type of work
It is A LOT different than regular medical transcription. The pay is a little less (unless you are proficient and fast), but the work is harder in that there are multiple people speaking and the nature of the medical advisory boards are quite detailed. I receive quite a few resumes of medical transcriptionists wanting to do this type of work, but when you test them, it is a whole different ballgame.

Good luck and let me know how you do on the test!

Hello Management

Give me a break!  You are a supervisor, and I know who you are.  Spare us this bologna.


 


SB


If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth?  You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.
x
I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then.  A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly.  We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors.  BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%.  Isn't this the norm?  Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better?  So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better?  They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports. 
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON

NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm

Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter.  I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company.  I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in.  Work flow lying is the main problem with this company.  They say there is none, but, in fact, there is.  They just turn you off.  When there is work, why not give it to us???  This question has been asked by us more than once.  Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends.  I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO.  I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me. 
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.

All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?

(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)
