Hiring Practices

Posted By: Alice on 2008-10-06
In Reply to:

Well, I thought I found a company that was going to be different from the rest.  The recruiter was ever so efficient and responded to my resume and tests very quickly.  She answered my emails almost instantly.  However, it seems that once I submitted my acceptance, the communication has come to a standstill.  Is this just the way it is?  This same scenario has repeated for me a few times in the past.  Maybe I'm still very naive in expecting something new and different this time.  I wonder, do the recruiters get a commission once the recruit says yes, or is this a far-fetched notion?

unfair practices
I would like people to be aware of a company called Advantec MT, to let people know that at least at the beginning they pay 1/2 cent per line but don't let you know until your first paycheck is due and then you find out and you have to pay for their equipemnt which I believe is very deceptive.  Thought everyone should know.
Shady practices
If an MTSO were late with my pay, I would refuse to transcribe another word until I had the check. This just plain old doesn't work and I would not accept such tratment.
i have no idea how their practices are now s/m
But when I was there they required you to work overtime all of the time but would not pay overtime pay, and checks were not always accurate amounts. I guess the department of labor stepped in regarding previous practices
Well, maybe you should change your billing practices.
I have a hospital account that I bill every week and am paid the following week - never late!

As an IC or MTSO you have the right to bill whatever way fits into your accounting/bookkeeping techniques.

Just a thought!
TAT and staffing practices (do they overhire to make TAT?) Also...
is the work routed to you or is it first in/first out. You should be able to plug in and have at it, as much of it as you can do at your own pace, and whatever doctor (ESL or not) comes up, rather than have someone select for you and decide when your 'Q' will run out. Those practices will hold you back from making and working at your full potential.
Maybe...maybe not...but they have sure lost A LOT of good MTs because of bad business practices

Small MTSO and bad business practices

I think the reason for late/bounced checks is exactly due to a lot of small MTSOs not keeping business and personal money separate and they do not have a reserve to fall back on in case something happens.


I had one that did not keep her personal finances separate from business and some government agency (she was having legal problems) went in and wiped out her bank account...she still owes me big bucks and that was several years ago. Unfortunately, I kept working (2 months with no pay, stupid) believing things would get better and believed the excuses and lies before I found out what was going on and quit, but could not collect because she had no money left and then she just dropped out of sight (rumor has it she changed her name and moved to a different state).


Another one had the same situation as far as not separating business from personal money and bounced payroll checks (I quit when the first check bounced, lesson learned from the first time). I finally got my money from that one after months of waiting. Needless to say, I will no longer work as IC for small MTSOs. They will lie to you when you ask if they have a separate business account and a line of credit or reserve to ensure payroll is on time even if client does not pay on time or they themselves get into financial trouble.


BEWARE THE CONTRACT THAT SAYS YOU GET PAID WHEN I GET PAID because it means just that and you will have no legal recourse of getting your hard-earned money, definite red flag. 


 


Since we work over the internet who do you report bad labor practices to...sm

I know one of the MTs that had their job eliminated at Medware last week.  The problem is this person's job was not eliminated, they gave it to someone else, but in the generic email it stated that there was no more job.  Seems like this should go against some labor law, but since we work over the internet who would you ask or report this to?  The job that was eliminated was the day person's job and the day person was given the evening person's job - the job that was supposedly eliminated.  We are trying to figure out if there is something that can be done about this or if this person should just say the heck with it and move on.  Thanks for any advice. 


 


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.

are they hiring right now ? -
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,
nm
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.
Seems like they are ALL always hiring, sm

complaining that there are no good U.S. mts, available, and using it as an excuse for voice recognition and hiring off shore.


If you are good, and can prove it by testing and experience, they are always hiring.  Maybe not posting ads, but they are hiring.


saw they were hiring 40 MTS

for big new account.  Anyone here work there.  How do you like it.  Pluses and minuses welcomed and appreciated.


 


Maybe that is why they are hiring.
employees, so they are in need of some help.  Hmmmm, very interesting.  They are not the first, and I bet they won't be the last.  This board is supposed to be informative, good or bad, so why worry what is being posted?  There would be no posts if everyone took everything up with the actual company they work for.  No one seems to have a problem when good things are posted, so why when there are bad things posted or a suspicion, someone says take it up with the company?  Just curious. 
Hiring?
Are a bunch quitting?
why are they hiring again?
Just quit because there was no work and now they are hiring?  What a stoopid move.
They are hiring
I got a job offer from them yesterday. I just wanted to know if anybody works for them now.

Thanks
over hiring
their usual practice and thinning out what they have.....like many others only concerned about themselves. 
well, maybe they are not hiring now, i don't know.
I think for many of their accts you need the unlimited LD. They also have some accts that do not require that. I will be out today, but if you e/m me, later i will try to send some contact info for you, to try again.
For those just hiring on, it might not be too bad for you right now. (sm)
Those of us that have been there fore a couple of years have had nothing but perks/benefits/money taken away from us on a regular basis.

If you hire on expecting no communication, reduced wages for ASR, only the challenging stuff that our ILPs don't want to do, working a combination of 2-20 different accounts on a daily basis, and plan on having perks and benefits reduced periodically you might just be happy there.

Don't forget to watch the videos, it is all part of the brain washing we get to make us think we are lucky.

Lots of us are leaving, but it is a big company and there are plenty of newbies or just newcomers who will hire on. They will take a learning curve, the customer will be unhappy with the constant training/mistakes that occur and more of them will leave. Of course new ones come on so you get, once again, to learn new client profiles.

Good luck. Perhaps whoever buys MQ next will do things differently. Then again, perhaps the income taxation system will be more fair and equal, Santa Claus will be real in the minds of children and pick up the tab for holiday gift giving the parents do in his name.
qt hiring

QT help wanted ad OMG! How funny is that?.  I heard they let all the good MTs go.  They offshore like there's no tomorrow and they are asking no offshore entities need apply?  Good luck to any sucker who applies for that position. Also heard that particular radiology software is so bad there's no way you can make any money  Hope you like empty promises, no benefits and Indian overloads for bosses.


 


 


and hiring, and hiring, and hiring.......

They are hiring for.......
Consults, Discharges, H&Ps, and Admissions, no OPs were noted on their ad that I could see. 
Yes...believe they are still hiring (nm)
.
Yep, they are hiring. If you want to sm
email me with any specific questions, feel free. It is a smaller company, but we are so overloaded with work its not even funny due to new accounts. The only time I have been out of work is for a couple of hours here and there after holidays--just like anywhere else.

I've been there for a little over a year and am VERY happy with them. I've been an MT for almost 10 years and I have to say this is the best company I have ever worked for.
hiring
They only hire for accounts that need help so the accounts stay balanced right and not overstaffed. Some accounts will hire people who specifically just want to do ops. Some accounts need you to do a mix of everything, so it really depends on what account they are hiring for.
No NJ hiring either
I had an interview scheduled with them last year and then they called me back to apologize for the mix up. Seems they don't hire people who live in NJ.
