this is absolutely not my experience with MDI-MD. Quality is absolutely #1. You submit your schedule of how many lines you plan to do and then do them plus or minus some. I was specifically told by my liasion that if there is not sufficient work, OF COURSE you are not expected to meet your projected count. I have fallen short for other reasons and no one has bothered me about it or wanted to know why and certainly not cut my status to prn. This board is great for sharing ideas, but there is no guarantee they are all accurate!! Feel free to e/m me with more questions.

look on job seekers board on MTstars. They had an ad in there last week - TransTech. You can apply right from the ad.
THANK YOU AMANDA!!
Very, very well said!
Amanda
It appears to be misinformation. The IRS has a good website. I always advise people to discuss their particular situations with their own CPAs so they can get the best information for their own situation. Good luck!
Amanda
seems to be Etransplus' cheerleader, she is the only one who ever responds to these querries, wonder why. I hope things go well for you new hires, but I would definately not put all your eggs in the eTransPlus basket, I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but a tiger does not change it's stripes.
Amanda
Thanks for correcting me. I am sorry for misunderstanding. I was just worried that she (or he) could get caught up in some nasty IRS business. Glad I was wrong.
Amanda, do you know, if there is no
length of time specified in the contract, how long would the noncompete clause remain in effect? Thank you.
Hey Amanda - keep us posted

Amanda - you're right- sm
This is not unique to US MTs. MTSOs, you better believe that folks in other countries wouldn't think twice if a better offer were on the table. If you think that they are loyal to you, you're in complete and total denial!
Amanda - can you email me?
Will you email me? I have some questions for you.
Amanda - I would like some answers
Yes, Amanda was the recruiter's name. The test site said I passed, Amanda said you failed, good luck in your job search. Their loss. Don't want to work for them anyway. The end. :)
Amanda, I am the one you were talking to ...... SM

and I apologize for not writing back.  Your last note is still in my inbox to be answered!  Anyway, the name of that company is Echo Transcription.  I know they have benefits (remember, MTA didn't) and that they used Docuscribe (?sp) and have part of a large hospital in Atlanta.  Good luck!



MagicJack (Amanda's post)

I ordered it, but haven't been able to get it to work right.  I'm thinking it's something dumb on my part, as a friend of mine says her daughter has it (in NY) and does fine.  The location should make no difference, of course.  I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong.


Just so you know, there's no 800# to call, contrary to what my friend told me.  I've surfed around to find out what others have said about it, and the vast majority like the thing, so at some point I hope to get it to work. 


Maybe when you get it you'll post an update on it.  It arrived here really fast.  Good luck to ya. 


Amanda, you can use the live-chat (sm)
and they will help you trouble shoot.  If you go to the screen for billing, you will see information there on how to live chat for technical issues.  Hope this helps.
Amanda, why are you leaving EtransPlus?
x
Amanda is one that dont return emails
Was told she's new and still hot a lot to learn.

I emailed Amanda re; some questions about working for them.
Haven't heard back yet. Guess I'll look for a different part-time company. Can't afford to hang around waiting.
Amanda, does e TransPlus hire part-time IC? (nm)

Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're
s
Does background check include credit check?

"You can check my credit if I can check yours"
x
Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

Not a recruiter...

In fact, no longer work for Spheris, but only because working 20 hours PT in addition to my FT job became too much. I cannot compare it to other nationals as I haven't worked for any others, but it was a good experience for me in many ways; good accounts, good supervisor, pay always on time.


Not every company is going to be a good fit for everyone.


Recruiter
damage control at its finest
recruiter-can't believe she said that. SM
I had one recruiter say to me, because I worked for a big national: "You must not be a very good Transcriptionist if you're working for them!" I said "EXCUSE ME! I have almost 30 years experience and have outstanding quality and can back that up." I told her straight out that her comment really offended me. Needless to say, that turned me completely off on that company and I did not pursue employment there. Too bad. They missed out on a great transcriptionist. Their loss.
Recruiter said they will
I was hired a few weeks ago and the recruiter said that they pay headers, footers and spaces. I don't know if it counting them or not. The platform is terrible and the sound quality is even worse.

recruiter
what recruiter quit?
As a recruiter
I would like to tell you that I look for blanks on tests. I do not count that against an applicant, nor should anybody else. It is always better to blank a word than to guess at it. A blank says I don't know for sure and do not want to guess. It basically lets a recruiter know that you know when to ask for help.
OR their new recruiter. LOL!!!
LMAO
Are you a recruiter?

are you a recruiter?

Not a recruiter either
Just a plain ole MT.  Check out their website for recruiting info.  Don't think we're allowed to post names and numbers here.
What does it take to become a recruiter?sm
Boy some of these recruiters!!! Just what does it require to be a recruiter.Just got an email from one and my goodness at the grammar!!! Hard to believe.
That too. It is not a sin to tell a recruiter that you are not
sure. Being honest is the best way. Recruiters are trained in knowing how to evaluate what knowledge you have. The trained ones can tell.
Ask the recruiter
nm
The recruiter won't tell you
The recruiter won't tell you it is difficult to get a linecount. Also, not sure who the new recruiter is. They lost a lot of people when making the decision to train in Trinidad. The company used to say they would never offshore and they had a decent reputation and were a good company to work for until the owner got money hungry. The company had been started by his late wife and obviously her ideals of keeping the work here became unimportant to him after awhile.
Was this recruiter's...sm
 I had a similar thing happen to me recently.
Ex-recruiter is exactly right (sm)
If you are an organized recruiter all of this can be accomplished in a short period of time. All it takes is good organization, attention to detail and professionalism. Anyone who expresses an interest in your company deserves a response.


Recruiter ads
I have seen 1 ad on the boards for recruiters wanted. You could always just send in a resume to the nationals with that information on your resume - that you are applying for recruiter position.
Recruiter

Hi,


The company I am working for now is actually looking for 2 recruiters.  Please email me if you are interested.

Not a recruiter
I have worked there for 3+ years on the Merit side. No real complaints here. We have an occasional work slowdown on my team, but that is infrequent and only lasted for part of a day in the cases I recall. The benefits package there is one of the best I have heard of in MT also.
As a recruiter, someone who actually has done
wonderful things in transcription does not get a test! People get nervous, PARTICULARLY if they have accomplished high achievements in this industry. If the person had proven herself in the field, then waive the test. She knows her stuff! It would be one thing if she just told you, but I know one woman who has done marvelous things in the industry that actually helped make the industry better for the MT and was given a test and flunked. She knows her stuff more than the MTTest site where she took the test.

No other field would test someone who has proven themselves 100 times over.

You may talk this way yourself, but are you an MT and can you pass a test? I know one recruiter that couldn't pass a simple QA test and told me so. I waived it but I did her no favors by doing so as she was an awful QA person, but that was really not her expertise. To tell you the truth, the only thing she was good at was running her mouth and gossiping. she might make a good professional gossip. I still hired her though and all I heard was how horrible everyone was at the company and this person said this, that person said that and I knew the love life of everyone there, then she complained to me as to what was expected of the QA staff (numbers) during the day. When you spend your time on the phone talking to everyone in the company, you won't make the numbers.

Recruiters need to relax on testing everyone in the field that have a PROVEN TRACK RECORD WITH MT COMPANIES...not hospitals, but MT companies. If they have worked successfully for MT companies and done well, held their job, made a decent line rate, they can do the job for the most part.
Their recruiter is probably one of the two
that I have ever spoken to that are pleasant to deal with. I have spoken to many recruiters and to say that there are just TWO is saying something. This lady will get back to you if she said she would. I have found her to be professional and up front with everything. If she said she had to take care of some things, perhaps something came up in her life that she had to handle. Recruiters are human too. I am sure she will get back with you as soon as she can. She's a nice lady.
Are you a recruiter?
How may someone apply with your company?
Or maybe you are the recruiter.

They used to have the best recruiter
but I can't remember who it was. She was so sweet and would work with you.
the recruiter
was Leslie if memory serves. I used to work for AllType and resigned when I noticed things were going down hill.
The recruiter probably is -

recruiter
The recruiter made a claim of an extremely high line rate, something like 500-600 lines per hour as I recall.
Recruiter? TTS has no recruiter
