wow. I talked to one of their recruiters a couple of weeks ago, and she was awesome.
My experience was completely different from yours. Maybe we talked to different people.
that's too bad..maybe it's the recruiters accusing others of being recruiters...

Now the recruiters have gotten
Take it to the job seekers board and post away.  I don't believe you are a happy MT.  It sounds like you want to recruit some happy MTs.
Those recruiters will say anything SM
to keep you talking to them.  Come back after you've spoken with the supervisor because I am willing to bet they aren't going to be flexible other than 30 minutes either way on a shift and definitely no 12-hour window.
Think what you wish? I know several recruiters
and they make much more than $35000.
MTs for recruiters
Maybe instead of overworking the recruiters, those of us who want jobs should be hired as recruiters, MTs and QA people. At least we would know what NOT to do!!
MT RECRUITERS, INC.
Anyone know anything about these people? 
What's up with TT recruiters?
I emailed a resume with an immediate response.  Emailed back with question and then received a reply but now that I have emailed back, nothing for days and days. Makes me wonder.......
was it one of those RECRUITERS? lol

The recruiters for SS are just as bad!

All around smarmy situation here, worse than anything I've ever seen.  And I've been in this biz a long time... 


I loved when they sent around the memo to nominate them for MTSO of the year.    Were they serious or just rubbing in their nastiness? 


Exactly! Get rid of the recruiters, the
secretaries to the secretaries, the assitants to the assistant manager/supervisor, etc., most of the human resources personnel, even some of the so-called techs who don't know as much about computers as I do! Trim the fat in other places besides the ones who are actually producing the document which earns the company money! Why cut the ones generate actual REVENUE rather than the office fluff & executive-type positions?
You initials might be SD then, right?

Why not initials? No one knows just by initials

why not initials
Supervisor at Spheris
Wish you had different initials
Okay, DK, I wish you would use different initials, they are too close to mine and I don't want anybody getting the wrong info!!!
my initials too
It is interesting that you mentioned a poster's initials. My initials are CLK and I have never posted anything on this board - good or bad. It makes me nervous when I see my initials attached to something I didn't write. I can only hope my employer doesn't see it.
Initials
Initials aren't allowed either. My post was pulled again.
Initials plz?
nm
Her initials are not AR
Why would someone do business that cuts the finances that close that they can't pay people?

I'm the OP. Initials are BH and, is the SM
person you are referring to initials of SL?

If they have both of those people the results should be quite good.
Their old initials were really more appropriate than

what they are using now - and every time I look at it it reminds of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - but the old one definitely fit the anti-American medical transcriptionist. 


Of course, if you are one of the 'in-crowd' you can get certified after 1 year of home training and doing clinic notes but no acute care, but after that we change the rules, right?   And of course that vast knowledge qualifies you to be one of the management staff with your all frills attached and allowed travel benefits.


 


What do initials mean?
Sorry to sound so dumb but what do those letters mean?
Could it have the initials
CSSH or CSMH?
Recruiters and their Styles

It seems the more telephone interviews I go through the stranger they become.  You really have to wonder how a lot of so-called MT recruiters ever got hired to recruit.  Where on this planet did these companies dig them up from?!!!  Sometimes you are asked the strangest questions.  It is usually like they don't even have your resume in front of them, never saw your test results, etc.  Ask them questions and try to get straight answers...What a nightmare...Any funny stories to tell???


I think the job of recruiters is to get people to

work for the company.  If you are qualified and past testing they want you.  Some recruiters get paid a bonus for each hire, others just need to have new hires to show they are doing their job.   I have had dealings with one recruiter who told me what a wonderful account they wanted me to work on, that people on it just loved it and there was rarely an opening so I should count my blessings.  I talked to the team leader and she told me about the account and how hard it was and that they couldn't keep MTs on it.  I had worked on that account at a different company and I knew for a fact how hard it was.   Fortunately for me the team leader was honest, because had I taken the job based on the recruiter I would have quit the next day.


I think a recruiter should be as honest as they can be because it costs money to hire and train and if the MT isn't going to stay because what she was told and what IS was to different things it doesn't look good.   I have had recruiters who are not/have never been MTs and they haven't a clue what you are talking about half the time.


I have adopted Oprah's advice - doubt means don't.   If I don't have a good feeling about a company I won't take the job.  


Have you asked their recruiters? -nm

Clique/recruiters
Maybe it is one recruiter who works for several companies. A clique of one!
There are recruiters who work for more than sm
one company and they could play an obstacle game with an applicant who refused an offer from one company and applied to the other. People can be fickle and mean.
I see some QA/MT folks do become recruiters from

thread below.  Does anyone know how to break into this?  I believe I would be very good at this and I don't believe I have ever seen any ads for recruiters.


If I have never seen any ads, how do some of the recruiters who have been/are MTs/QA manage to find the positions that they do in order to allow them to change companies when some of us have never seen an ad to allow us to even enter that end of the field?


I would love to know because I think it would be very interesting.


Would you recommend just to start emailing all companies or calling them, or do you think it would be a waste of time?


 


 


 


 


Dear Recruiters: I would like to sm
know why you don't state in your job ad what kind of internet connection is needed.  Mainly, I would like to know if satellite is acceptable so I know whether or not to even pursue it.  Some do say so, but many do not.  I really just wonder why.  It wastes the time of the recruiter with useless email questions and the MT's time trying to find out. 
Recruiters: Thank you for sharing sm
I am really embarrassed for those people, but I am also having a good laugh. I bet you all really need to vent.  Do you have a network of recruiters where you can go?  I am glad to have a glimpse of your world.  Now I know why some of those ads are in caps - YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO DO THIS OR DO NOT APPLY!   Honestly, they sound hostile, and I skip by them, but at least now I know why. 
aren't we ALL recruiters for the
company we work for. Obviously we like where we work since we are employed there....and don't we all then recruit others who are in the job market....
I think most recruiters are full of HOT AIR, and -
during the recruiting/testing/hiring process, they promise a heckuva lot more than the company ever actually delivers. There are already too many 'suits' lurking on this board, as it is.
More Ditsy recruiters
A few weeks ago a recruiter from a company whose initials are SGS called me. She was not ditzy, just had no knowledge of business etiquette at all. I thought to myself that if it was this much of a pain to deal with them in a telephone conversation, what would it be like to work for them? I think a lot of these companies do not realize that the people they put on the phone are often the only chance they will get to make a good impression. This woman needed to go to charm school.
Actually, all the MTSO recruiters have been sm
at multiple companies over their careers, I don't think she is the only one.  I remember there was a Gary at Medscribe in Jacksonville who ended up at 3 other services over the years.
What are the initials of these 2 women. I think I know but not sure. Why do they keep them.
:
Let's give initials only. sm
ET and SS
I will not give initials because
and I don't want the person hiring me to hate me

It must be good. It has the same initials as me.
:}
Hmm, is this all the same poster using different initials?
x
The initials stand for
TTS- Transcription Technology and Support out of New Hampshire.
What account was this for (initials?)
I would hope this is not going on here.
I know the initials were AAMT, so it
was probably All American, can't remember what the name of the other company is/was though. 
Can you post initials here?
.
No initials or names. (nm)

Oh sure. And your initials stand for
,
If her initials are A.R. you won't get paid at all. nm

Says below the initials for the company are PT
The only company I know with those initials doesn't do VR.
I can't remember what the initials FOB sm
stand for but its a little thing that looks like a key chain. It has numbers that change every 30 seconds or so and you have to have those numbers to sign in to the system.

Far as the UPS label goes, they said they sent it by e-mail and yes I would have to print it out. I didn't get it. I told them to send another or have one brought to the house (that is how they use to do it anyway) and I would send the pedal back. These people are a piece of work. I am tired of the hassle. Why I messed with them a month is beyond me!
Gee, the initials wouldn't be TT, would they?

Yep, something is definitely up there...
