That's probably most of them except for the top 5-7 that advertise over and

Yes, we DO advertise for MT's!
Why do you thik it's so? It's because we are getting new accounts each and every week. How do you like them apples? It's because we have very high standards and have to replace those who can't cut it. Its because we LOVE giving people work when they are in need of work to earn a living for their families, and we have plenty for them to make a very good living. We have a huge recruiting team because we are always in search of the best, the brightest, the most ethical, the most honest, the hardest working and the most successful of all the MT's around. We are NOT interested in those who spend hours chating in various gripe boards when you should be typing. It clearly explains why either you are NO longer here, or why you couldn't get here in the first place.  
They sure advertise like crazy!
Hope its cuz they have lots 'O work?
They advertise they start at 8 cpl
and go to 10, so you know this one has a few wires crossed upstairs. n
Trying to Advertise my letter...
in the Toledo Blade myself. They told me that the advertising managers will have to review my article and decide if they will let me do it. I don't know what it will cost to do it, but I am sure going to try!!!!

I will send it to Lou Dobbs now.
They seem to advertise a good bit .... SM
often on MTJobs.com which is where their current ad is.
They used to advertise they pay scale as -
9-11 cpl.  PRN status is 7.5 cpl.  From what I heard recently, they are trying to lower their MT pay expense (not investment), so if you ever were to get off 9 cpl it would surprise me.
The good ones don’t advertise? Then why, tell me
when I looked at the listings for jobs at only the 10th one down I found an ad from Transcend? I guess they have to go over to the bad companies, right for advertising?
Email the website where they advertise for MTs - sm

They will remove them from future advertising as they are reputable website.


I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I have never heard anything negative about them to my recollection though.
I have not seen them advertise in a long time.
I know their recruiter left and I really have not seen any ads. They do have a banner on this site though.
When I advertise, I give all that information as
well as all information related to the job.

I worked for one company once that had their pre-canned ads. I hated them because they told nothing. They did give their website, but it was way old.

I agree that all companies that advertise for MTs need to give their website
How did you come to apply with them? I have never heard of them or seen them advertise.
Wish you the best though
Could someone please explain to me how Focus can advertise for a QC
when they just laid off a bunch of people and told them they had nothing to offer them but transcription?
P.S. - I don't even know why they are allowed to advertise on this board because....sm
their US QA gets audited by guess who???  The team leaders which are not from the US and are based overseas....lovely, eh?
We want companies to advertise - not drive them away.
Please do not mock their offers.

They will advertise and talk hourly, but sm
when the actual offer comes, it is BY LINE ONLY.  M.L. is posting on any web site that will have him about his job openings and they are now so desperate they will take an MT with only 8 months experience.
does Amphion advertise that they now offshore?
nm

Was I dreaming or did a certain company advertise for ESL MTs at 15 to 20 cpl a week or so ago and

now it's suddenly 9 to 13 cpl?  I tried to take their test and one of the questions they asked was what you were making. 


 


Maybe I was dreaming.  I copied the ads I applied to and that one seems to be missing.


Instead of only applying with companies that advertise heavily,
try Googling for transcription companies, perhaps in your home state, and go to their websites. They usually have a way to apply on their website, and they won't be receiving 300 resumes the same day yours arrives. Send your resume to several and you might hit the timing right with one or two, or perhaps they will keep your resume for when they do have an opening.
Did you see that they want 9 test files done??!! And they advertise as a Global
s
I though offshore companies could not advertise on this site?
Guess I am wrong about that.
I never see any postings about Accuscribe of SC. They evidently don't advertise (sm)
for help much, that could be a good thing.

Any info?
http://www.ustranscription.com/....they advertise on a different job board...nm
;o)
I personally don't advertise in the Yellow Pages because I was getting a lot of sm
calls from housewives who know how to type *real good*. Or people who wanted to do this because they saw in a magazine that you can make a lot of money in your free time!
Why do companies advertise for jobs if they have no work?

I lost my job with a big offshoring company a couple of months ago.  I knew it was coming so I started applying for jobs and sending my resume for posted jobs.  The company that hired me responded to my resume submission within 2 HOURS and I was hired the next day.  They had an immediate need, speciality I love, good pay.  Now, a couple of months later I am getting calls and e mails from companies that I applied to months ago.  One recruiter said, I don't know when we received your application, it was probably 90 days ago.  During this same time period I have seen the Q advertise twice, claiming they have steady work (????)  Of course, after reading posts here I would not even consider any offer from them.  A lady from Spheris e mailed and ask that I let her know a time I could interview some time in the next several weeks.


I don't get it.  If you do not have work, why are you posting jobs?  I would consider this a big red flag.


Transcend does. If you look, they advertise on the Jobs board but they admit that
they send work overseas.
They advertise on the "other" jobs board. Lots of posts about them here. nm

Just curious why Focus Infomatics is being allowed to advertise here. Totally Indian-ran.

Transhealth LLC
Any good or bad on this company?  Appreciate any info.
Transhealth
I worked for them for a month and a half.  Very regimental about scheduling and time off.  My dad had cancer and I took 3 days off to be with him and they griped.  Also, very big brother.  If you don't get up to speed within a week, they limit how many reports you can type to 10 a day (no matter what the length of report, long or short) until you get up to speed with quality and quantity.  You work the schedule they want with no variations and if you are not in the chair when they think you should be will get e-mail from them asking where you are (even if it is something like you need to be in the bathroom a little longer because you don't feel well).  Very particular on QA (as should be) and always checking on you.  Go very strictly by AAMT book of Style and expect you to know it.  will even send you a copy.  Insurance is Blue Cross/Blue Shield out of Tennessee.  They offer full benefit package of medical/dental/vision and do take out taxes.  Dental is Delta Dental.  The account they had me on out of east Tennessee was a hospital account that had a lot of very thick foreign dialects.  I was not happy with them because I needed more flexible scheduling and they are set and that is it.  If they tell you you work 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., you better have your butt in that chair the entire time between then.  Another fact that my brother later pointed out to me is that they are an LLC company which is limited liability corporation, so if they close their doors for any reason, they are by law not liable to pay you anything of back wages and you just lose if they owe you anything when they close the doors.  So, I am not real sure how long they have been around, but I think may be a young company of a few years, so that is something also to consider.  If you like acute care and hospital dictation they have a lot of it.  Not sure if all of their hospitals are like the one I had with a lot of foreigners, but that is the one they gave me.  The day supervisor Kristin that I was training with to start with was very nice but I did not care for the evening supervisor, Teresa, who I thought was very harsh and like working under a drill sargent.  So, that is what I can tell you.  I am not trying to influence you only stating the facts as I know them from my experience with them.  Someone else may have a different view than mine, but this is all the information I can give you.

Thanks for the recommendation on TransHealth. I am specifically looking for a company who pays both headers and spaces so will check them out. So far I have been told by the companies who do not pay for headers that everything loads right in - NOT! Between looking for correct data or verifying what is automatically loaded in, I just feel it is a lot of time I am not getting paid for. Thanks again!

Is there anybody out there who worked for TransHealth, quit, and then went back?  How did it go?


 


What is TransHealth's Rad pay?...

A whopping 8cpl like everyone else?


TransHealth Rad Pay- sm
When I was hired back in June, it was 8 cpl, and I trained for HALF a day...they have the most horrible system for radiology, although they rave about how great it is. I never saw such a cumbersome system just to get into the report took about 5 minutes. No wonder they offer 8 cpl. I quit after a few hours of that. Look elsewhere if you want to make any kind of decent production.
TransHealth
TransHealth-Any info appreciated as I am considering taking employment with them.
Don't know about TransHealth but...
If your main account is a teaching hospital with long reports being paid by line would probably be a good thing - if its not a teaching hospital with mainly short reports it would probably NOT be a good thing. I'd make sure I knew what kind of a hospital it was B4 being paid by line or not...
TransHealth
I was also offered a Radiology job by TransHealth but am afraid to give up my hourly job.  What do you think?
TransHealth is the one. NM

Full-time:  work a 40-hour week or average 12,500 lines per pay period.  Part-time:  work <40 hours a week with a minimum of 6,000 lines per pay period.  Pay periods are 1st through the 15th and 16th to the end of the month.  Hope this helps.


Transhealth

I was told they expect 150-175 lines per hour.  Their Policy, Procedures, and Benefits Handbood says 40-hour week OR average 12,500 lines per pay period.  Part-time is a minimum line requirement of 6,000 lines per pay period.  I just started with them and, yes, I have a set schedule, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.


Yes, definitely at TransHealth. nm

I believe TransHealth had an ad recently indicating they would pay 10 for experienced MTs, but it might have been for those willing to do heavy ESL dictators. Check them out, I tested and have to call them back today as they called yesterday and left a message. Seem pretty good and I believe I read mostly favorable comments on them here. Others paying that high are IC.
TransHealth
You can do M-F with rotating weekends.
TransHealth
You are right, the company I am talking about is TransHealth.  I also started there a few weeks ago and am having a hard time hitting line count due to the constant low work volumes on the accounts I have been placed on.  Talk about frustrating!  The staff is very nice, however, they are disorganized.
I had a very bad exp with TransHealth
A certain lady was very rude and locked me out of work when I had a medical emergency, even though they knew the situation. Awful place to work.
Actually it was Transhealth! nm

Transhealth?

I am wondering why TransHealth is still looking -- are they not  a good company to work for? They have had that posting for editors for quite some time?


In general - wondering - what is average pay for QA/editing positions?


SE only at Transhealth nm

TransHealth Rad
You are paid by the report.  It is all internet based so unlimited LD is not needed.  They were a decent company to work for, unfortunately there was never enough work to keep me busy.
Transhealth

From my experience, TransHealth is a waste of time.  They have absolutely no regard for their applicants.  Let's just say if you are lucky or I should say unlucky, you will hear from them.  First you take a miserable transcription test, then you take a written test, and if you pass both of those, you will be scheduled for a mini-test over the phone.  The test is a definition test.  They ask you words, you need to know the meaning.  They catch you totally off guard.  If you don't do well on the mini-test, it doesn't matter if you passed the two other tests, which means they are more concerned with definitions than your transcription ability.


Their process is very time consuming and in my opinion, not worth the effort especially from a company that is afraid to post their compensation.  So I say thumbs down to Transhealth.  It's a waste of time.
