say. How many newbies can you hire that cant do these big hospitals before the quality goes through the roof. You can break jobs on DQS to get rid of them.

hiring newbies
Hello,

I just read your post and I do not agree with you. I am a newbie who was hired by MQ to do the big hospitals and I am good. I just quit MQ because the QA was lousy and I had to jump from account to account. Then, on many ocassions I had no work available when I logged onto my shift. I respect your experience, but I know my quality is good because I graduated from the TOP school in the industry that demands it. Please don't lump all newbies together and do not blame it on JUST newbies. Thank goodness I took my NEW self and sloppy QA some where else.
Hiring newbies?
Are there any companies out there that hire newbies? Looking for an acquaintance.
Hiring Newbies
There's a couple out there right now considering newbies. There's one on this board, job seeker's, and another one at the other popular board. Good luck. I was fortunate to go to Rodeer in Atlanta fresh out of community college. That was the best decision I made. It was tough, but the experience was worth it.
Good luck.
Any clue who the company is hiring the Newbies/nonNewbies sm
on the job seekers board? 
If we get dumped by this new company,

Well, it's always possible Spheris will get dumped by them, as

I don't think all the newbies are getting thee good work
When I started there, I didn't get all the good work. I had just as many ESLs as I did good dictators, so I don't think your argument holds water.
not sure who hires newbies...don't work for etranz, though (see thread below)

We dumped regular landline and got Vonage
HUMUNGUS savings!  You can get unlimited long distance for $25.00, and if you call other people who have Vonage, no charge at all.
You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.

I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.

I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.

I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
Why are they hiring when we run out of work every day?

I work for TTS and they are hiring.

Why do these placed keep hiring if work is low.
I have been working with OSi for a week, and have already run out of work even though the recruiter told me there was plenty. Talked to a few people online, and everybody says they are always low. I feel manipulated, and I turned down several offers to take this job. I am going to see if any of the offers are still open.
R they hiring where you work?
NM
Not sure if they are hiring, but there is no shortage of work.

maybe not over hiring, maybe no work being given to them from the client

Thanks.. Helped a ton. I have already been through that. No work yet they are always hiring. That is
ridiculous..
Any companies hiring for M-F work
I have 10+ years of experience as an MT and need to have a Monday through Friday schedule because that is what works with my kids, school, and their summer sports.  Are there any companies hiring experienced MTs for M-F work? Thanks
Yes they are hiring and great to work for

We're not hiring because work is low. Nothing to do
 with what goes to Precyse International. 
QT Medial is hiring and is GREAT to work for! Try them, you will not be sorry! nm

Why is OSi hiring new people when I have been out of work for 6 weeks?

I am statutory (or IC, whatever they are calling it now).  I have a main account and 2 -- count them 2 -- back up accounts.  I have been out/short of work for over 6 weeks.


Unless you are a full time employee, you get no benefits, no hourly, NOTHING.  I am amazed that they are hiring when they have people already trained and begging for work!!!


Don't they realize that it costs a WHOLE lot more in turnover to train a new employee than to keep an already-trained one happy?


I'm looking at other nationals now.  I've never been one to job hop, but I just can't take the time off any more!!!


is the lack of work related to hiring new MTs?

It is interesting that there was an ad to hire with a hiring bonus in the summer and suddenly the work got low and now agree a couple of weeks after another hiring ad the work gets low.


I left due to no work for 2 months and they were STILL hiring
when that was going on.  I would stay clear for a while unless you can survive off of 200 lines per day and want to work 24/7 and fight over the lines as they come in.
Why is TransTech hiring when I have no work this morning? sm
Why do these companies do this?  Hire, hire, hire while I am sitting here waiting for work for the past 3 hours.
NEMT is currently hiring for clinic work...nm
nm
I know they have been hiring on that account awhile so there is probably work. But,
I did refer a friend and they put her on that program to which she did not stay long and was very unhappy with her line count. She said it was a third of what she normally made so she quit. Honestly, I have never worked on that platform so I am not sure if she had a valid complaint or not or what else she was comparing it to. I say if the work is there, which I would think if they are offering a bonus, I would try it out and see if it works for you. It sounds like with your experience you would know the difference in line counts.
Webmedx hiring - work plentiful? nm
,
Yep, hiring again. Are people quitting or what? There never seems to be a lot of work to me. nm

Not hiring because they send most their work to India
 
GIMT is hiring - Ortho and Onc clinic work - sm

So does anyone work on the acct that DiskRiter is hiring for now? It's in Florida

Because of the shortage of work, we don't want our companies hiring more people. nm

I saw they were hiring but there is no way I'd work for them. Their ad sure sounds good with shif
differential and good pay etc.. but it means nothing if they dont pay their people and you had to fight to get it. No thanks.
Good companies hiring for clinic work

Know any good companies hiring for clinic work? I'd rather get lower pay for clinic and have a higher line count than stress out over acute care at this point.


There's a difference between over hiring and the occasional work slow down. sm
Every company has some times that are busier than others. That doesn't make the recruiter a liar.
Not a lot of work right now; kind of disturbing that they're hiring
..
First Choice Medical is a great company to work for, and I think they are hiring too.
I have been there for over 4 years now. They use WP51 too if you want. Good luck to you.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Is Lee Perfect hiring, and how much do they pay? How is the work load. I'm tired of running out o
work with the present company. It's getting old and I cant survive on low work.
I can do that as I expect a lot of places are holding off hiring now because work does tend to get a
little slow at this time of the year.  I can manage with what I have until January. 
MD-IT hiring - looks like a really cool company to work for... any advice/information?
I sure would love to know more about the company - a search of this forum turned up zilch.  I was with Medquist for 8 years, and the company I went to did not deliver on the acute care account I was hired for..... 
I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services
and always have work. I have only run out a work a handful of times. It is a very busy account. It is a very good company to work for.
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
I work for them and sure there are hiring again, but here I sit all day with NO work and yes I have

MQ newbies
Sorry, dear, no matter what you say, you lack experience. Therefore you may have been good in school, but how do you rate in the real world?
Newbies
I'm currently teaching a MT class at a local community college and was wondering what companies hire newbies.  Thanks.
Hey, Newbies at TT...

I got a call from TT yesterday.  Was working and will call back today.  Just wanted to touch base with some of yall to see how you all are doing and if you felt your decision was a good one.


Take care, will keep you posted.

OSi is for newbies
OSi has a mentor program for newbies because that is basically what their company is made up of. Unless you wanted to be spied on with their very own instant message program - where they will call you if they don't see you on line - and also they record Keystrokes and treat you like you are 2 years old, you don't want to work for OSi. They also call you on your days off to work but you aren't allowed to claim it on your time sheet. In other words they want you to work OT but not record your hours to do so. Also a very demeaning QA department. QA is very inconsistent because QA consists of newbies itself and half the time their edits are wrong. You will get emails from QA audits with stupid graphics with (good job) and stuff for toddlers and all of this coming from newbie MTs who happened to end up in QA dept. Mature people would not put junk like that in a business email or any email for that matter. Very poorly run company who recently partnered with a company with multiple offshore interests. OSi already offshored the easy work and with the new partner it is likely to offshore even more. Bad news unless you are just starting out MT'ing. Also they have just stopped paying any extra cents per line on holidays unless you meet almost impossible requirements. That was the last straw for me. I could not make it to even 1 year with OSi and because I saw the light I can actually spend the holidays with my family now because I got out in time. Never have I seen a company run in such a horrible manner as OSi. They offer a ridiculous sign on bonus because most people don't last long enough to even receive it. Go elsewhere, almost anyplace is better.
M-TEC Newbies On the Way?
So what will happen when they guarantee those people coming out of M-Tec a job at lower rates?
newbies and QA....sm
You have to differ between work done by US newbies and Indian newbies. If the QAing of the work your newbies are producing and you have to QA is so bad, I am sure that you are QAing work that has been done by offshored MTs.
