The communication prior to the interview primarily took place through email, which made the process straightforward and easy to follow. The interview itself was conducted virtually, and the interviewers were friendly, professional, and made the experience comfortable.
I applied online. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (Dallas, TX)
Interview
Very short Skype interview. They went over what was to come, such as online classes. Upon completion of the online work, they send you a list of hospitals and you need to chose which ones you are able to go to. Then they select on for you and you meet the chief scribe at the location. The pay is terrible, minimum wage. Hours are not good. They were not very flexible with school they want you to work until 6:00 a.m. regardless of having school that day at 9:00 a.m. it’s clear the company does not care about its employees. You see just another number to them.
The interview process included an intuitive pre-recorded video interview as part of the initial application. Responses have multiple submission attempts, and you could watch your video back before submitting. I heard back from a hiring ambassador within 2 days of submitting to confirm my work availability and ability to commute to the proposed site. I received an offer within 1 week of applying. Response time may depend on the site and current needs. After accepting the offer, you will undergo additional steps depending on your site, including but not limited to a background check, e-consent forms, the credentialing process (paperwork, medical testing (UDS + QFT and mask fit), medical terminology exam, onboarding call, ScribeU courses, EHR training, bridge/floor training). Onboarding steps are very clear to follow, prepare you well for the role, and are paid.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What are your long-term career goals, and how will working with ScribeAmerica help you achieve them?
One behavioral interview with a lead scribe who asked about my experiences working with patients and doctors. Although I had none, they still accepted me because of my previous experience in the STEM field and interest to go into medicine.
