And supposedly they are hiring me because they are getting a huge account with 6 hospitals. Any more info on them - I need to let them know tomorrow and don't know what to do. It sounded good, but now I'm worried.

I was told by their recruiter that they outsource off-shore.

I was told they did NOT outsource during a job interview.
o
They have told us they absolutely do not outsource or offshore

E-mail came from big boss explaining trying to clear up rumors saying they do not do this.  I have no reason not to believe them.  They are great people to work for.  No job is perfect, but TT makes me very happy.


They told me upfront they outsource. They rooked me around sm
They asked for a test and I don't normally get asked for a test. After all these years, it is a bit of an insult. Then, they asked me for 3 references and they called THEM ALL. I tested for an acute care QA position, but after several days, they said would like to put me in for the outsourced, Indian MT editing. Okay...

Then they email and say the give the job to another candidate! I was pissed. This entire process took 2 weeks and time I'll never get back again. You'd think 15 years of experience would get you something, but no, not at DSG.
Here is what the recruiter told me
A few weeks ago I was offered a position with the Baltimore office for their "big" oncology account. The recruiter told me they start all transcriptionists at 7.5 cpl but after 90 days you would be moved up to 8 cpl. She also said that they now have a production pay plan that would pay 7.5-8 for the first (I think it was 700 lines); then 8.5 for for 701-1200; 9 for 1201-?; and it would go on up to as high as 9.75 cpl depending on lines produced. I turned them down because I thought that 7.5 or even 8 was low for someone with a lot of experience in oncology. I was very disappointed to say the least...especially after going through talking to them on the phone, then testing, then waiting for them to get back to me (which took forever) to see if I even passed. I thought I hadn't made it through the test and was really down and out...then after all that I turned them down anyway.
The recruiter for KS told me I
Lanier Voicewriter.  Haven't heard back from the recruiter lately.  She must be busy doing other things, trying to make ends meet. 
That is what the recruiter told me.
I talked with 2 MTs that told me they were making 10/5 cpl for night shift. They were hired as new grads straight from Career Step back when they had the Focus on the Future program. I asked the recruiter about it, who confirmed that is what they pay for night shift. I have also seen others on this forum post that that is what they are making. I would be inquiring about why you are not getting the night differential when others are. Sounds like you are getting screwed.
another thing, recruiter told me about this
wonderful account that rarely had an opening because the MTs loved it so much.   I had worked on this account when I was at YOG so I knew how horrible it was.  After talking to the TL she told me they constantly have openings because the account is so difficult that they can't keep anyone on it.   I'd only believe half of what the recruiter tells you.  The recruiter is the one who denied the offshoring, the TL was the one who told me they did and also told me they offshored the good stuff.
I was told by recruiter that about 80% were now internet nm

The recruiter for Axolotl told me
nm
ITA. The recruiter told me how lucky I
was that they had an opening on this wonderful account.  Said the MTs just loved it and there was rarely an opening (A.V. in CA).  I had worked on the account at YOG and it was HORRIBLE!  When I talked to the team leader she told me that it was a very difficult account, that they couldn't keep MTs on it.  Fortunately for me I already knew how horrible it was and turned them down.  I wouldn't work for a company where they lie to you before you even get your foot in the door. 
Recruiter told me they do pay for spaces...sm
The black and white line did confuse me a bit though.
I was told by recruiter they pay gross line
nm
No but just talked to a recruiter who told me VR jobs pay

Recent info told to me by recruiter...
Requiring minimum 700 lines a day, 5 days a week, and the weeks must be either or Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat. Past workers only had to commit to 2 weekend days a month but new hires must take a weekend day each week.

This seemed to be as low as a person could go for weekly commitment, unless I misunderstood.
S/l Precyse. The recruiter told me how lucky I

was that there was an opening on a particular account because all the MTs just loved the account and there was rarely an opening, it was a great account, yada, yada, yada.  They mentioned the name of the account and I had worked on it several years earlier with another company and it was a horrendous account with the absolute worst ESLs I've ever countered and I like doing ESLs usually.   I then talked to the team leader and she told me it was an extremely difficult account and that the MTs hated it and they couldn't keep anyone on the account.  She accidently let slip too that they offshored and that the best dictation went offshore and the garbage stayed here for the US MTs. 


It was fortunate for me that I knew about the account and I turned down the position.  I don't know why they coudldn't be up front about it, because no way would I have stayed past day 1 with that account. 


Dunno. Recruiter told me 8 cpl w/sp. for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl if you do 1400 lpd. nm
f
No, I am not paid any flat rate and I told that recruiter
I gave my notice, but he continues to ask me. Of course, I have not given my notice and will see how this job plays out. One thing to note is the recruiter claims I have a great account that many would be happy to have. May be he is worried about fabrication.
I spoke with recruiter 3-4 wks ago and was told mixed acute care & clinic, no ops exclusively. Low

Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

JLG outsource???
Anyone know if JLG outsources? I asked their HR person and so far have received no response. Very suspicious about that.
JLG Outsource???
They have advertised on boards using their "Vianeta or Arrendale" software. If you search Google for Arrendale software, you will see that Arrendale and CBAY formed a partnership.... Check past posts on CBAY. What do you think?
Do they outsource?
nm
MDI does not outsource but they do
overhire. Not a bad company overall, just have to fight for work a lot of the time.
Outsource

Do they outsource now? If not, they're planning it, big time. Companies need excuses to outsource, main one being they can't meet demand. Yeah, drop that line req down, that'll do it! Care to divulge company name?


they outsource and their pay is low nm
.
Outsource
MDI does not outsource but they were bought by Transcend who has been sending work to Florida. Just an FYI.
Not an outsource
No everyone there worked from home.  They also used Transcend for overflows.  It was a good place to work, but dayshift was years away.

I am 99.9% sure they do not outsource. nm

Boy do they outsource
The offshores get preference for the work.  Some of the managers are just awful, especially one in particular.   I mean downright nasty and not even available for questions. Big shakeups lately.
if they did HAVE to outsource all, tho,
or even a ton, it would be a QA nightmare and clients would finally have to ask - WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH YOU PEOPLE?

sweeeet
They do more than outsource, as they have

an office in India. 


No, they do not outsource.

They do outsource, don't let them kid you
nm
no no NO! TT does NOT outsource sm

There is, however, an Indian company with a similar name that IS doing business in India.


I know it gets slammed on here for doing all kinds of things and I have never heard a word of truth about Transtech spoken here.


I did not say that they don't outsource
I said that not all of the team leads are in India.
Yes, Medware does outsource....sm
and they make no bones about it. However, they are not the only company to do so and more and more companies will likely be doing the same in the future. Like it or not, this is the future of medical transcription...to get the transcription done offshore and then have it edited by more qualified egocentric jerks like myself in the USA.

I think you have overstepped the boundaries of common decency in categorizing people who work for Medware or any other company who chooses to outsource their work. If you don't like it, you don't have to work there and don't have to associate with us, but it is a low blow to attack fellow members of your profession in such an unprofessional manner.
MDI does NOT outsource.. all work is done
on-shore. Transcend does outsource though (minimal).
Does Transolutions outsource?
nm
They outsource heavily and
make no bones about it.  They are located in suburban Nashville, TN and generally make no bones about their ties with Indian transcriptionists.
Most of the companies out there outsource now.
.
companies who outsource
Do you consider Canadians being outsourcing? With all the Americans out of work does it bother you that companies hire Canadians?
SPI information? Do they outsource?
Any info appreciated.
They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
They outsource to India and..
when the recruiter was asked, she said she didn't know that for sure even though it is posted on their website.  When this was pointed out, I still couldn't get her to admit it.  I turned them down because I prefer straight answers and dont' work for companies who outsource to India.
