Need info on The Perfect Word Inc. Has anyone heard of them? TIA

I applied and heard nothing.
So it's indifferent, I guess.

Who knows.

Applied with them 2 weeks ago; nothing heard so far...sm
Didnt see much on their website either, and can't find anything in the archives.
I had applied for PT work and never heard from them. nm

I applied and heard back (sm)
They responded almost instantly with an e-mail that said to send a Yahoo IM (instant message) to their address. I e-mailed back that I did not have an IM account, and could we just discuss via e-mail, and then I never heard anything again. Really makes me wonder how legit they are...
I applied there and just heard back

I don't know a whole lot because I am waiting to start but pay is 9 cpl (even though the ads say 9-10) and they use ChartScript.  You also must be incorporated because they are only hiring for contract work at this time.  No set schedule.  Hope this helps a little.


I have applied a few time, but have not heard anything.
Maybe if the poster will take the time to read the emails they have already received and actually hire from them, they would not have to keep posting over and over again.
Applied too and never heard a word.. sm

I applied the last time they had an ad and heard nothing...nm

I heard from Medware an hour after I applied
Talked to the recruiter, received an offer later that day and in less than a week I had my equipment and started.  They even call you and help you load the software and your expander, very professional.  I am very happy, I use EXText so that was a plus to see Medware uses that software.  They are a good company.
Haven't heard for a month since I applied

Friend of mine applied and she has not heard yet either - sm
It is legit as far as i know. It is an SBC global job, and they are known for hiring at-home people.
applied and haven't heard a word......nm

I wish TT would hire me. Applied and took test, but not heard from. NM
 I guess I suck.
I applied but haven't heard back
Do any of these companies let you take time off without pay if you haven't earned your PTO yet?  Any other good companies out there?  Anyone pay more than 8.5 cpl?
I applied there, took their test and have not heard anything. I guess I failed. nm

Anyone heard back from TransHealth? I've applied
I have 25 years of acute care experience and great references.  Maybe it's my breath? LOL.
I applied for other positions when they've had them and never heard back. nm

In NY or Georgia? I never heard back from the NY one when I applied last year. nm

Anyone heard of or applied for work at WRU Transcription in Illinois?


Has anyone applied and heard back from "Editors Needed" on the job board? sm
The ad said, Want to break into editing? I may have the job for you. Just wondering if anyone applied and has heard back. Mainly curious to find out what company this is. Thanks!
I don't work for Transtech but applied w/them, haven't heard back

Yep, I applied there, took test, passed it, and I was to be contacted, but never heard a thing from

Medware..Anyone know what they pay their speech editors. I have applied but havent heard back. I
was just curious if it was worth my time or not.
Beg to differ. It is not perfect and is a long way from being perfect. A LOT of hospitals
are moving away from voice recognition after trying it and failing. The good news is that once burned, it is hard to convince a board of directors to put out money like that for a second try.

I think that it has its place and does work if done right in certain facilities, but it is a VERY small percentage and will not hurt us for many, many years to come.

I am not hiding my head in the sand; I am actually seeing the trend reverse.
This round is QA
The original story was that they were just getting rid of smaller accounts, which would supposedly explain getting rid of American MTs.  They told the QA people first that some shifts were being done away with then changed it to being based on production.  There was one Editor yesterday called to work OT and when she tried to call in she couldn't, so she called tech support and when she did, she found out she had been terminated!!
Still going round and round with this
Why? Does anybody read this board before they accept a position? This subject has gone round and round and round and many people quitting and then another round of people and the same thing over and over again. However, you cannot blame it all on one company. It just so happens these are the ones that happen to recruit heavily from this board that are mentioned here. Check the archives, go back a few pages and do your research before you make a decision. Granted there may be some sour grapes out there but if you see the same thing repeatedly beware!
ROUND 2 - This is getting fun now! SM
So, if we DID have a recruiting board and I was a recruiter (or an MTSO owner, IC that needed help part-time or short-term, had a temporary position, or say I even was a hospital HR person and I said hey guys, I have the need for somebody to type some Radiology for 30 minutes a day for a week or I have a full-time opening for 10c a line for cardiology, how many of you skeptics WOULDN'T respond?  I think otherwise. I think we could use it our advantage.  We don't have to believe evreything they say; we're not looking for facts on how many of their MTs like their job, etc., we're just looking for an environment that is two-way instead of them just posting an open job and all of us expecting that they can respond in a timely manner to the 500 of us who send our resume in at one time. 
SPI in another round of layoffs
Last week they announced they were dropping the smaller hospital accounts that used domestic MTs, today they emailed QA staff and had them call in on a conference call just to tell them they no longer had jobs.  So this nice big foreign company who came in and assured everyone how the company would be bigger and better only took 6 months to start weaning out all domestic staff. I wish the facilities knew this.
Well that is just silly, unless you are getting round the clock pay.
And I highly doubt that. I was a recruiter, doesn't pay all that great.
They're hiring for the next round
of MTs.
Um, yes. Gather round and let me tell you a story...

I was hired by Focus in QA, paid hourly.  I sat around for three weeks and no one contacted me about loading software, training, etc.  I emailed the person who was supposed to do my training and was told I haven't forgot about you.  I promise we will get together tomorrow.  Tomorrow would come and she wouldn't call.  Meanwhile, I'm not getting paid.  Finally, I emailed the head of HR and cc'd one of the VPs in the U.S. office.  I was told my supervisor was very sweet, but she didn't know what she was talking about when she said I would start immediately.  My supervisor then told me that she would sign off on any hours I put in the timeclock system.  For three months, I timed in and sat at my PC and waited for training that never came.  At the end of the third month, I took matters into my own hands and called the IT department directly, bugged them with email after email, and they installed the software on my PC.  I then emailed the tech department a list of accounts I wanted access to and it was given to me.  I started training myself only to be called up and fired.


Fired from a job I never actually started!  It was the most infuriating experience I have ever had with an MTSO.  I have never seen so much disorganization, outright lying, and complete disregard for their employees than I have seen with Focus.  I am not just talking about myself here.  I am also talking about a number of employees that had been with them much longer than I who had been unceremoniously fired after being hired to build a U.S. based QA dream team.


I won't go into all the empty promises that were made.  That's another bedtime story for another night.


My advice, if you have another job, hang on to it.  If you don't, starting looking.


It is on the JobSeekers board in a little round button
There are 3 and the one on teh far right is the Job Bank.
You deserve a round of applause for your post!! sm
I have been at this for almost 20 years. I work a mid size company and it is a company that is bashed quite regularly on here. However, it works for me and I love it!

I have the opportunity to work with MTs with all types of experience. I have some older MTs that I wonder what have they been doing on all these years! and I have new MTs that try their hardest, but even some of them that are trying so hard are just never going to make it.

I agree with all the whining on this board. I don't mind it (as I don't bother to read the actual post most of the time), but I hope when people read these posts that they take what is said as a grain of salt. Form your own opinion of companies, etc.

Also when you say when you are going to work, then actually DO work those hours.

Hats off to the original poster!
Other than the obvious MQ and Spheris, what companies round out the top 10 in terms of size? sm

Which offshore out of those?  I want to go with a big company for a few reasons, but I do not want MQ or Spheris.  I'm also just curious.  It seems like they are very big and the rest are much smaller.  Am I right or just assuming?  Which company or companies do you think are growing and will catch them or close?  Are there any out there that have that potential?  I would love to get in for chance for advancement but not ground level because I want stability.  Easy to know what I want, hard to articulate it clearly.  I have read previous posts, tried to research other sources and want to put together a good list for myself.


Axolotl- Are you eligible to retest if you didnt make it the first round?
It's embarrassing to have 15 years experience and not pass. I really feel it was a sound quality issue but that is just my opinion. I wondered if they gave second chances.
Typical year round. They overhire. I left due to lack of
work.  About 6 other MTs left when I did, that I am aware of, due to lack of work.  There are accounts with a lot of work and frequent OT, but I was told they couldn't be worked on as a secondary account.  Made no sense at all to me. 
NO paid holidays for us all year round. If there is any work on the holiday, you get

lines and a half, but usually there is no work.  They usually clear out the work before the holiday so there is no 1-1/2 line pay remaining.  Transtech names 6 holidays each year, but the MT takes those holidays off WITHOUT pay.    I am sure the office staff and all other non-MT staff take off WITHOUT pay, too, aren't you????   LOL


Which MT companies DO pay an MT for holidays.  I don't consider a day a HOLIDAY unless it is PAID.  They can call it 6 holdays, but have to take off without pay . . . . just another day, i.e, get sick -- NO PAY.

Job openings

Hi am from Canada, and am looking for a MT job from home.  Currently I work for 20 doctors in Edmonton Alberta and am wanting to work from home so bad. I want to start part time, gradually into full time so I can quit my 9 to 5 job at the clinic.  Any ideas>>>Anyone heard of Superior Global Inc.  I received a phone call from them, it is a 1-800 number I cannot access from Canada.  Go figure!!


Desperate here.


 


 


MT openings
This is just a guess, but there have been so many posts in the last 6 months or so about low work at multiple companies that it's possible that they are just slowing down their hiring and that's why you aren't getting any responses. Also, if you really want to leave your present company you may have to be willing to compromise a bit on what you are looking for and open up your job search to companies you had not considered before.
Is this a rad acct and do they have openings? (nm)
xx
I would apply right away. I know there are only 2 openings right now. sm
I think any company would love to have someone with stability apply, and a resume can be informal.
