Excalibur
I sent a resume, heard back today. You have to pay $55 for the background check etc but if they don't hire you, then they supposedly give it back. I'm searching to see if I can find any information on them now. It sounds good, if it is actually legitimate. I've seen them posted on quite a few legit freelance boards, so hoping it's not a scam. I'll let you know if I find anything good or bad.
Anyone dumb enough to pay Excalibur
deserves the lesson they are about to receive. WAKE UP! SMELL THE SCAM!
Data Entry / Excalibur
Does anyone work for or know anything about this company?  Sorry, no time nor money for scams.
Excalibur Remote workforce
They want a fee of $55.00  I was offered a job there, too, but I wouldn't do it because of the fee.
Yes - Excalibur Remote Workforce is Legitimate although there is a small fee!
They are legitimate although they do charge a small fee which I didn't mind paying since they are legitimate.

I joined with Excalibur and I have been happily working with the company now for 5 months as a contractor on their client referral position as Medical Transcriber.

Don't let the fee discourage you - its for your background check verification and their work at home job bank registry.

Thanks & Good luck!

Yes, they are legit

Legit?
I assure you Allegiant Transcripton Services is a legit company.
Yes, it is legit

Career Step is a legit program and they are partnered with Spheris for them to hire their grads upon graduation.  Starting pay is around 6.5 cents per line which is in the range of what other newbies start out making in employee status.


I attended Career Step, took the Spheris Training Track and went to work for Spheris.  I am also an affiliate member who does receive a small token of a referral fee, however, I am not here to give rave reviews or try to twist your arm one way or the other.  I would recommend that you attend a course that is approved by the AAMT/AHDI though. 


If you have specific questions, feel free to email me!


they are legit and pay on time...

You didn't ask anything else.  Email me if you have more specific questions.

Company legit
Has anyone ever heard of the company Anita Niles-Lee & Associates?  They offered me a job and I want to make sure they are legit before I quite my cuurent job.  Please help.
RE: Company legit
I guess you have been to their website and read there? What I read is they have been in business for over 12 years. Sounds legitimate to me.

Legit Company
Has anyone heard of Mountain west.
is this legal/legit?

I love the company I work for.  I love the people, love the work.  Only one complaint:  They deduct $12.50 out of each paycheck for a total of $25. each month for rental of their software.  They said they were told they had to do that if we were IC's.  We use our own computers, or rent theirs, so why should we pay to use a version of Word? I have never had anyone else do this in 15 years.  Also, they want to charge a fee to do direct deposit.  I've never seen that charged for either.  Is this Kosher or should I say something?  If so, what?


I worked for them. They are legit - sm
That is only a front name so they can't be found. Very secretive owner. No one can know the other MTs. However, pay was truly that (actually it should be 11 cents as that was what most were). Depends what work types you do. Can plow through some stuff and make great money. Other work types suck - some really bad foreigners there.
They are definitely legit. I was offered
position with them but could just not work the hours they needed.  I regretfully turned down.  Great owner and great MTs work there. 
Words R Us out of Illinois ? Is this legit?

To ADMINISTRATOR: Is this a legit company?
I hope that this isn't someone's idea of a joke as I have already sent my resume. I find absolutely nothing on the internet regarding a company with this name. The ads indicate that they have several accounts already...why can't I find anything on this company?
Companies who truly understand IC and are legit won't
require that. My company says they will never require a schedule and do not direct deposit for the simple fact that those are things you do with employees, and they do not want to ever cross the line of IC/employee with their ICs. There are bound to be other companies on the same way of thinking. Sadly, I agree with another poster that said if people are willing to sign contracts and accept set hours, it will become something we can't get away from. ICs stand up for yourselves and point out the law to the interviewer so this does not happen!
I can tell the OP had legit info, but my issue /sm

is this.  If someone is employed by Webmedx, goes through training and does not hit the 98%, I'm sure they are let go, BUT they are also paid for the work they did while in training.  They have to be paid, it's the law.


If you get work from WMX you have to return the work typed, correct?  If a trainee typed it, you wouldn't return the work without someone from your company looking it over to score it, I assume any errors are corrected also.


If you return a completed report to WMX, they have to pay you, correct?  If the trainee who typed that report is let go, you are keeping 100% of the money paid to you for that report and the MT who typed it is not paid a cent?  I am trying to work this out in my head and this is the conclusion I have come to.  If it is correct, there is something very wrong with this arrangement.  You may not have to pay someone by law, but morally that wouldn't sit right with me at all. 


Horrible company, they are legit though.

There is a reason they are always hiring.   Lots in the archives.


all legit companies withhold for taxes but...
when you say I found it difficult enough just paying my regular bills with the very low rate of pay this company offered, and it was impossible for me to also put aside extra money to pay for the taxes they refused to take out That can't be true. one way or another the money comes out, either they do it before you get the check or you do it after you get the check. If you could afford it if they took it out, then your take home pay would be less. So it's absolutely equal that you could afford it by setting it aside yourself. At least you got to earn a little interest on it!

i have worked for west.com - made $12 - $14 per hour, paid every 2 weeks


hope this will help


Since when does any legit company call us "transcribers"?
That throws up a red flag for me. Legitimate US-based companies would never say they are looking for transcribers.
Anyone heard of Career Step program?..cost?..legit?
I checked out the Spheris website and I don't have enough experience to apply...but they directed me to Career Step kind of as a prerequisite to get your foot in the door for employment....there's gotta be a some kind of cost, but I didn't stick around to find out....link, after link, after link..yada yada...anyone have any comments on this setup?
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
Hiring
Don't know anything about escribe, but my company, Cy med, hiring.
Hiring
Anyone know of TM Transcription in Oregon?
Hiring
Since I have been hiring for Keystrokes, I have ALWAYS followed thru with providing the proper paperwork to the office, and the AA gets the paperwork out the same day within hours of when I submit the new hire information, and then when the signed paperwork is not received usually we give someone about 72 hours, which on many occasions, people do not fax the paperwork back to the office, the AA in turns either sends out a FU e-mail asking where the paperwork is and/or I will call and send out an e-mail if there is an issue. I HAVE NEVER let anyone SLIP thru the Cracks with Keystrokes after I have offered them a position. Please get your facts straight before you post on here and use my name!

I have a note on the resume the date of hire, and the date the e-mail was sent to the office, and also have a new hire folder, where I put the e-mail that the office sends to me that the paperwork has been returned and faxed back, to the office. Keystrokes does FU on hiring of all new hires, so who ever is posting that needs to contact me and allow me to find out what the problem is so I can find a solution.
Are they hiring? (nm)

Are they hiring?
They said they passed me up because someone else wanted a full-time position, and I only wanted a part-time position. Then I had to contact them, which took 3 weeks to get a response. If I did well on the test and they need help, then why not hire me? What a waste of my time.
They are ALWAYS hiring because
All of the smart MTs leave and only the extreme desperate stay. They do SUK.
as far as I know they are still hiring
I don't know about if it is specifically for ortho or not though.
They are always hiring...
and just as hard to get ahold of when you are working there.  lol.  Try e-mailing the recruiter.  Thats your best bet. 
I just saw an ad where they are hiring for
someone to go overseas to train/teach classes. Wondering what's up with that. If it's true, kind of bold of them to advertise on an MT job site to promote taking American jobs away. Guess it all comes down to the almighty buck and how these companies continue to screw US MTs over.
are they still hiring for Onc MT?

Hi SM!


I have more than 2 yrs experience transcribing onc reports.  I would like to ask if they are still hiring as far doing oncology transcription? What is their website?  Can I have their email address?  THank you


Hiring
I'm wondering too...my QA is consistently over 99%, I rarely leave blanks and have 12+ years experience.
Are they hiring?
I am looking for a good IC job. Do you know if Sten-Tel is hiring for IC? Thank you so much!!
i think they are not hiring
thank you, but I went to GIMT website and it seems they are not hiring right now.  There wasn't any info where to mail the resume.
Are they currently hiring?
What is their website?  Thanks!
I think they are always hiring

Who's Hiring for ONC?

Does anyone have any experience with any of the companies hiring for ONC now?  Positive experience with the companies and the accounts, or negative? Which companies would you recommend for ONC?  TIA.


Yep, they are still hiring

I cannot understand why they do not understand this.  I hope you have another job.  One problem they have...on one account, they had overseas MTs doing the typing, they allowed these people to go off of QA...next couple of weeks, the account was gone.  Nobody said it was gone, but there was never any work on the account and still isn't any. Zip activity.


Who, in their right mind, would allow overseas MTs to submit work directly to a facility?


hiring
I just e-mailed you. Thank you for information.
Do you know if they are hiring ICs? TIA.

Applied a week ago, waiting to hear from them. Thanks. Not sure if they are hiring right now or not.
Are they hiring right now? Thanks,

are they hiring right now ? -
I sent a resume and haven't heard anything in over a month.
Are they hiring?

Have you heard if it's a good company to work for?  IC or employee?  I think I have a contact email that I can send you if no one else has already done it.


What is with all the hiring at
Are they expanding that much?
They better not be hiring..

Don't know if they are hiring PT . . .
I am working PT, and I chose to work a pretty fixed schedule. It's busy now and I have work, so I'm doing my hours. It's employee status, and I'm required to work one weekend a month and then rotate either T-giving or Christmas each year. If a holiday lands on one of your regularly scheduled days, you are required to work. I think this is all pretty much standard throughout the industry.
