company called Transcription Matchmaker to help with hiring, so while they may not be advertising themselves, they are still hiring.   I don't think they are still offering the sign-on bonus, but if they are you need to read the fine print.  The majority of the companies that offer sign-on bonuses only pay a percentage over a years' time - so in the long run a decent line rate is better than a sign-on bonus and an average line rate.

A couple hundred U.S. Constantly hiring, but i bet constantly losing them, too. sm

Who knows how many offshore MTs they have at their training center.


Why are they constantly hiring?
NM
Some companies are constantly hiring and training; therefore

the old faithful MT's are left with the yuk so that the new MT's can be training on the not-so-yuky dictators, then comes along another MT to train, and on and on the cycle goes.


The company I am with stated 35 percent ESL's, but that is totally impossible, unless I am getting the whole 65 percent ESL's. There just does not seem to be any consistency with regards to work flow in pools. That is what I have observed. I guess I should get my own doctors/accounts in order to make that happen, right?


We post frequently for a couple of reasons. Not only are we constantly hiring for new business, but
regularly keeps your ad near the top of the list. In my experience, we get far more responses when our ad is in the first ten. Hope that helps explain it.
I Don't know why you constantly
get on her and bash Axolotl.  You must have some sort of personal grudge.
OMG you crack me up constantly

Thanks for the laugh!


i am constantly amazed

at how MW can make such a good impression on new employees, but then they are good at doing that. you have not worked for these people long enough to see how they really are, obviously!



Please tell me where I have constantly bashed
Axolotl.  Do you have me confused with someone else?
They constantly run out of work and
the platform is horrible.  You type an 11 minute report and end up with maybe 30-35 lines.  The dictators are bottom of the barrel and the voice quality is the worst.  I signed on because they were very friendly and seemed nice.  I found out the ones in position of authority have no transcription experience.  The rules change constantly.  QA is alright I suppose but I have to admit I've had some strange reports back recently that I find myself questioning.  I asked for a finished copy and I get the blanks I left still blanked and other things that make no sense at all are changed.  Overall I'd probably rate them a 2 on a scale of 1-10.  I've applied elsewhere and am waiting back to hear and will be leaving soon.  I've been there a couple of weeks and already I see the workflow is not steady.  I don't know what happened to their claim of lots of work.  It's sure not the case.   Are you thinking of applying or have you accepted a position with them?   
Exactly what I was thinking....constantly on

constantly over-hire run don't walk nm

I mean nothing by it but everyone knows this is a constantly changing industry! nm

I left after one month. I was constantly
switched between accounts (three times on one Saturday because there was no work). The pay scale is convoluted and low. The staff was nice. Interestingly, I learned that my supervisor quit a few weeks later.
That happened to me constantly at Spheris

Constantly for the past month or more!!!!!

Those who have work probably work other than a day shift and M-F.  There are definitely too MT's on day shift and weekdays.  I hate working weekends and nights, too, but sometimes that is when the work is there at Transtech.


This profession is just going down, down, down hill . . .


They called constantly on my days off
Work volumes were so low last year they knew we were desperate - so they called at all hours summoning us for an hour here or there, totally ruined the possibility of having a life.  I was full time and was working 7 days a week for less than 30 hours, they took all my PTO to round out my paychecks until it was gone, then expected me to sit by the phone and go bankrupt.  Supe was not surprised when I bailed, after 2 months of blowing sunshine about how it would get better soon and it only got worse.
They overhire constantly, worse when they get a new
account.  There are some accounts that have tons of work and are frequently on OT, but then there are lots of accounts that run out of work several times a day.  Definitely ask for another account, but it might take you several accounts to get your lines and then you've got all those different account specifcis to deal with. 
Don't do it. Pay is low. They overhire and work is low constantly.

DSG constantly runs out of work.

I agree, who wants to constantly nit-pick with the QA, tit-for-tat!...
'The less contact one has with the QA person the better, believe me, stay 'invisible' as much as you can.
That is why I am looking now for a second job. The place I work for constantly
runs us out of work and of course it is because things are slow but the fact is they overhired so they dont have to worry about TAT and be bothered with it.  We dont count I guess.
They are constantly advertising because they are GROWING! They have brought on
two new accounts that I know just since Christmastime and more to come.
I do the same. I am constantly looking at the screen while listening and transcribing. sm
I can't even imagine having to go over every single word again.  It is easy to proof while you transcribe.  If there was something particularly difficult or troubling, I would go over that portion again, but never the entire thing. 
I check the line counts constantly.-sm
Believe it or not, they're accurate.  I have a program that counts these.  I wouldn't work for anybody any other way.
Good point - companies that constantly run ads

Is there any company that does not constantly switch you around on accounts?
I am worn out with working my fingers to the bone typing endless ESLs with thick accents, but just when I get the hang of them, BOOM, I am switched off these accounts and have to start all over again with a new work pool.  I am talking about hundreds of docs here and a half dozen different hospitals. 
I think that a lot of companies hire constantly for different reasons and you need to sm
look at the variables. I plan on applying with KS when their next ad comes out for several reasons. I was hesitant because it seems they are always hiring, but if a company has a lot of new accounts, they need a lot of new MTs. I talked to them about a year ago, and they had 200 MTs. Now I have heard 300 and then recently 500. Obviously, they are hiring for growth reasons.

On the other hand, the company I am with now has fewer accounts and fewer MTs than a year ago. They lost a huge account to KS (I called a friend of my at the hospital and asked) but have not told us yet. I hope to be able to get in to work on the account with them. I was told that the account left XXX because of poor TAT and quality (not me, I asked that too!) and that KS is actually more expensive but that another hospital in their group is very happy.

I worked at Diskriter for 6 weeks, constantly

Is this the same office as Amherst. Why do they constantly run you out of work at Buffalo with no
explanation. Well, a lot of offices that are closing are shifting to Buffalo so I will be very unhappy if I lose my accounts and I will be long gone. Are you losing a lot of MTs at Buffalo because of this.
Does anybody know of a company that does not constantly overhire so that we have to wait endlessly
for work each day?  I am finding I have to be available 12 hours a day to perhaps work 7.  Getting old.
Forget it. We're constantly running out of work now. sm
Some accounts have work, many really slim.
Sten-Tel runs out of work constantly and bad communication there. nm

I agree, whoever you are, you deserve to be happy with any job, not constantly struggling.
The reason we have these boards is we need each other, that is my reason. It is a God given right that we deserve to be happy and not be taken advantage of, be kind to other people, and PASS IT ON!
they are constantly out of work. Will show 40 jobs and a minute later none.

Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

that pays late constantly - lost many good MTs.

After about a 2-day period of more work, back to running out constantly.
Maybe they should streamline, get rid of some dead weight, but mostly they should STOP OVERHIRING as they have constantly done in the years I have been there.

This is NOT a seasonal slowdown. They treat us like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.
outsource to India; not enough work, ran out of constantly; some really nice people, though (nm)

I am working to support myself so running out of work constantly, is not an option.
I realize there are slow times, but a lot of places offer backup accounts. Why put all of your eggs in one basket. I'd starve.
What lack of work? My STMs group of accounts is constantly offering OT. sm
Maybe you should talk to someone about getting more work? It's out there, within Webmedx, but you need to ask.
Newbie friend found them to be very critical and constantly changed the account specifics on her.

I find it interesting that this owner is constantly exposed as a slow to nonpayer with previous
bankruptcy issues and people still go to work for her.. Things that make you go hmmmm. I mean if this were a single incident with a disgruntled worker I could understand, but when GROVES of people complain, she is still able to recruit people. I do not get that. I personally turned her out because the pay was too low for me, but apparently for some, ANY payment on time or at all would be acceptable. People need to take a stand and quit. When she is unable to fulfill her obligations as she leaves her employees struggling to do, maybe she'd get her stuff together.  
Maybe MQ is over hiring now in preparation for something. Must be some reason they keep hiring when
some people have not work.
I find this post funny. If a company advertises constantly, posters question if they are losing peo
3 weeks, since 5/24, there are posts that question if they are growing. Who cares if a company is growing or not as long as they have enough work for their MTs. I started PT with KS two weeks ago and will be going FT 7/10 after my long-awaited and much-needed vacation. They have treated me very well and have plenty of work if the account I work on is any indication. I also came to them on the recommendation of several MT friends who work there, all of whom are very happy and have been for a while.

If you want to work for a particular company, your best bet is to contact them. I have read in several publications that more jobs are filled before advertising than after the fact.

Give them a call, especially if you like/love radiology!
I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run

Anyone know of TM Transcription in Oregon?
Hiring
Since I have been hiring for Keystrokes, I have ALWAYS followed thru with providing the proper paperwork to the office, and the AA gets the paperwork out the same day within hours of when I submit the new hire information, and then when the signed paperwork is not received usually we give someone about 72 hours, which on many occasions, people do not fax the paperwork back to the office, the AA in turns either sends out a FU e-mail asking where the paperwork is and/or I will call and send out an e-mail if there is an issue. I HAVE NEVER let anyone SLIP thru the Cracks with Keystrokes after I have offered them a position. Please get your facts straight before you post on here and use my name!

I have a note on the resume the date of hire, and the date the e-mail was sent to the office, and also have a new hire folder, where I put the e-mail that the office sends to me that the paperwork has been returned and faxed back, to the office. Keystrokes does FU on hiring of all new hires, so who ever is posting that needs to contact me and allow me to find out what the problem is so I can find a solution.

Are they hiring?
They said they passed me up because someone else wanted a full-time position, and I only wanted a part-time position. Then I had to contact them, which took 3 weeks to get a response. If I did well on the test and they need help, then why not hire me? What a waste of my time.
They are ALWAYS hiring because
All of the smart MTs leave and only the extreme desperate stay. They do SUK.
