    Sorry had to give you a bad time.   All you are paying extra as an IC is 7.5% of the social security and you should be able to write off part of that.  You need to look at both, see if the IC offers something to make up the 7.5% you will be paying.  You also have to know that you have the capability of putting aside your own taxes and paying them if you do not have a husband that can overwithold them for you.  But again if it boils down to the scare of the taxes -- you only pay 7.5% more as an IC for the social security.  As an employee they withhold the taxes for you -- you still pay them. 
    They'd just blow smoke in our faces if we did.

    that's just sickening
    Of course you should matter. What is wrong with people who think no one matters but themselves???
    sickening and unbelievable...
    Hope you find a better job soon!
    feet
    Totally don't get what youre talkin about here. I have my instructions, my employee handbook and my supervisor or contact person. What else do you want them to organize? Can you be more specific about this foot thing?

    I am with SL MQ -- i suggest you take the plunge.  I have a good main account.  When i wanted a different secondary, it was given to me.  There have been great bonuses, and i am FT emp.  Sometimes up to a flat $50/day for very attainable line counts. I LOVE the DQS system -- don't ever want to type anything else again.  I didn't even have to ask for my last raise.  There is plenty of work 99% of the time.  They have been very flexible.  yes, i am happy here.  Got nervous early on with the lawsuits, but after much looking into things and thought, settled down and don't worry about it now. Unlike one poster below, i don't have trouble making my line counts (and don't consider myself fast),  feel i live the 'good life'  working for MQ at home.  I support our family as the sole money-earner, including a daughter in college...Feel free to e/m me.
    And people with big feet ;)

    BEAT FEET!
    I agree with everyone. If this is an example of how they treat you in the beginning, just think of what it will be like after a few months!
    No. Podiatry is just about feet. Orthopedics covers sm
    all the other limbs, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc.  A HUGE difference. 
    When they "link" multiple job numbers for one report, like Four View Of The Feet And Ankles.&#

    MDI recruiting
    I applied for a position with MDI, received an email the next day stating that the recruiter would like to interview me and wanted to know the best time to call over the next few days.  I replied to the email and several days went by without a phone call or email from them.  So I sent another email asking if they were still interested in me.  I received an email that stated interviews had been pushed back until the weekend and I would receive a call then.  It's is now Monday and still have not received a phone call or email.  Is the the way MDI does business?  If so, I want no part of it.  Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
    recruiting
    What are the requirements of a being a medical transcription recruiter ? How many years of acutual MT is required ?  Do you need any MT experience at all ?   
    One of them did recruiting for another
    company while she was *sick* or *without internet* for our company. What a joke and nobody in management was the wiser.
    I believe this is a recruiting company...

    Years ago, I worked for a company here in Georgia by the same name.  They hired for physician and dentist's offices at that time, different types of medical fields/specialties.  They only had in-house positions at that time, but I guess they have changed since most transcription is done via the internet now.  I also had a girlfriend who was a dental assistant who worked with them.  She stayed pretty busy and never had any complaints either.  Hope this helps.


    Supervisor/Recruiting

    Are there ever any supervisory/recruiter positions


    posted here?


    They all will be. Do they even bother recruiting in US
    xx
    No need for a Recruiting Board here.

    It was a guy recruiting wasn't it?
     
    Perhaps recruiting has been offshored?

    SharpHearing Recruiting
    I heard SharpHearing Technologies is hiring newbies for home based medical transcription positions. I only have their email address sharphearing@gmail.com Please provide more details here if available.
    Hard to believe they are recruiting. The newest sm
    radiology MTs just ran out of work because they lost a major account.  We also lost a couple of other major acute care accounts.  They don't tell us what is going on, and it is really a slap in the face to see them recruiting. 
    Here they are, recruiting again, when we are running out of work AGAIN. sm
    What is wrong with these people at Webmedx?
    I thought they were just a recruiting firm. nm
     
    Recruiting expectation question

    I've read quite a few posts about recruiting lately, and I have a question.


    I have three teens, myself, and my husband in the house. When any of us have applied for a job we don't expect a response if we don't meet the employers needs. From applications to Starbuck's, to Abercrombie, to the Department of Energy, to private research and develoment firms, to major and minor MTSOs, none of us feel slighted if our responses aren't responded to EVER, much less immediately. So, I'm having trouble understanding the sense of entitlement that some MTs seem to have regarding what they are owed from recruiters. Have these people never applied for any other jobs? Do the same people complain if the corner Quik-Mart doesn't respond to them promptly regarding a cashier position? Is there something wrong with companies simply deciding not to hire on the MTSOs timeline, or hiring ever? I just don't get the sense of they owe me that seems to run through the thought processes.


    My husband makes well over $100,000 a year, my kids make well under $3000 a year, and none of them (nor me) expect a response if we don't fit the needs of the company. So, what gives with  these MTs, and why is a response demanded by them in this industry, but seemingly no other? 


    They are not talking about KS. There is no "he" in recruiting there. nm
    I don't think that there are any males at all except accounting.
    Nothing on their website about MT recruiting. Keep us posted! :) nm

    Oh goody another TT recruiting hoopla!!
    This is what I saw right around Xmas about these amex checks along with other positive yeays and hoorays for this company. Thought it all sounded too good to be true but I was optimistic Long story short, went to work for them based on this BS, it was too good to be true.
    Been there, done that - this is management or recruiting talking.. nm

    I believe a recruiting co. has been hired for this MTSO.
    I've contacted thet MTSO to find out more information.
    Possibly trying to get a recruiting bonus. nm

    Has anyone used a recruiting company to find a job?
    If so, how did that go? I need a new MT job (been out of it for about a year) and am having little luck finding anything reputable. I have over 5 years experience and seem to be coming to a lot of dead ends. I am getting seriously frustrated!
    I went through a recruiting company, thinking they

    would have leads on companies who might not want to post an ad for some reason and that I could find something paying better, etc.   They represented 2 companies I think, one of which I had already tested for, been offered a position, and rejected it.  They knew this but wanted me to go through the process again.  I did and they offere me the same thing that I was offered before and I again turned down the position and then never heard from the recruiting company again.  It was the same company mentioned by someone else.


    I recommend posting your resume on all the free job boards and also applying to any company that meets your needs, as far as employee/IC and hours, etc.  


    I have posted my resume before and got probably a dozen responses, most of which I weeded out right away due to low offers.  I tested for a few and was offered positions with all of them and even took one of the offers, but that company eventually went out of business.  I posted my resume again and months went by with not even 1 offer, and then several months later I got a few offers.  You just never know what the response will be. 


    Anyone wonder why Transcend is always hiring and recruiting? Also Webmedx? Do they sm
    have trouble keeping people?
    didn't mean to stir up anything - how do you get into recruiting and what are the requirments an

    how do you find jobs ?  Do not see a lot of postings for recruiters.  Thanks.


    Anyone know which company Denise Williams is recruiting for?

    for the Editor position?


    The one recruiting is "friends" with the synthescribe person sm
    and has a full time job making good money. i miss your point??
    Not informed Professional MT Recruiting Service
    As a student in a business law class and working on my AA in business administration, I can tell you this strange poster by Professional MT Recruiting Services is not well informed and smells of a troublemaker. Recently my law professor and another professor who is also a vice- president of a bank and deals with employees both discussed this topic a few months back. The current temperament and laws in most state make it very, very difficult for a former employer to say anything bad about a former employee because it makes that former employer open to big law suits. One would have to have committed a serious crime such as major theft from a company, and been convicted for a former employer to say anything negative about a former employee. In fact, both professors tell us that it is not worth the time or trouble to say negative things about a former employee for fear of law suits. Our law professor is a practicing attorney and a CPA who runs his own business, and if he is telling us he would not take the chance of saying something bad about a former employee who was less than an idea candidate, I am going to go with their expert advice. Both professors tell us it is better to be neutral and keep law suits at bay.
    Transcend false recruiting/low work
    I was hired two weeks ago to do Cardiology, but hardly any Cardiology. I am stuck voice-editing the leftover clinic notes!! Potential Transcend employees, beware!! Recruiters will say anything to snare you.
    Isn't that job post from doctor recruiting work and not MTs? nm

    MD IT recruiting methods are time consuming sm

    I took a test that took an hour.  A recruiter contacted me to interview on the phone.  Another 35 minutes.  Then I was told that I would take another specialty test.  Then after that the people at a specific MD IT location would like to talk to me.  I spent one hour and 35 minutes.  I cannot see spending more time than that without being able to ask some dang questions like what the pay is... recruiter did not know, only that it was by the audio hour!!!???  No info about scheduling.


    Are we so desperate that we will give a company 2 hours of our time without knowing what is in it for the slave?


     


    This is crap!


    I wasn't rude. All I said was that if I was trying to profit from recruiting people, I would
    have left contact information. I didn't get called out and was never rude. How is stating FACTS rude? I'm also not offended because your logic makes no sense to me. I speak the truth. But it doesn't matter. If we have anything negative or positive to say about ANY company whatsoever, we're either recruiters or disgruntled ex-employees. I didn't get called out because there was nothing to call out on. Please, take your senseless accusations elsewhere. The board administrators know exactly who I am, so they can back me up when I say that I'm not a recruiter. I'm (GASP!) a happy employee FINALLY after ages of searching for the right company!!!!
    Does TransHealth have a sign-on bonus? It seems like there are people recruiting for them on these
    boards.  Are they really that great to work for?  I have heard mixed reports.
    Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
    and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too. 
    Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

    MDI Maryland HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
    THIS IS NOT MDI IN NY OR FL!!

    I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!

    I do not work for them, but I have done recruiting for companies of their type of work
    It is A LOT different than regular medical transcription. The pay is a little less (unless you are proficient and fast), but the work is harder in that there are multiple people speaking and the nature of the medical advisory boards are quite detailed. I receive quite a few resumes of medical transcriptionists wanting to do this type of work, but when you test them, it is a whole different ballgame.

    Good luck and let me know how you do on the test!

    happy here
    Positive experience for me. Two years later, still happy, still busy, still meeting 300+ lines an hour. To each his own... guess it's jump on Diskriter is crap band wagon again day. On any given day, one company or another is being ripped a new one on these sites.
    Probably one of the best. I'm happy there.

    Happy with QT and FCM!!! nm

    Happy there......
    I am very, very happy at OSi. I left a company where I had been a IC for over 8 years and went with OSi as an employee. I have had no regrets. I think some people say QA is snooty because they expect a job to be done right and often times it isn't. We have access to all reports typed on our accounts and to tell you the truth, it's amazing how some of these MTs got hired.

    I love the platform, pay is always on time and often incentives create huge paychecks. They are very professional and very flexible. No cons as far as I can see.
