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. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica in May 2016
Interview
First, I got an email on a Friday saying the interviews would be held that Sunday (1 day after that email was sent) at 7pm. How can you notify people one day before the interviews are being held????? Then they canceled the interview for that weekend for whatever reasons, then emailed us all on that following Tuesday that the interviews would be held that Saturday at 7pm. Went and along with 13 other people sat through a PowerPoint presentation until 8pm. Then went to another room and had to wait for them to individually call us for an individual interview. Literally sat there until almost 10:30 waiting and then the two interviewers decided to come out and each take one of us to interview last. If there were two people doing interviews why couldn't they have each taken one person to interview the whole time, instead of making everyone wait on a Saturday night and doing one at a time. My interview lasted 5 minutes, as opposed to everyone else who got to interview two hours before me whose interviews were 15-20 minutes each. Kind of an unfair advantage.This is a minimum wage job and after 90 days you make $10 an hour, which is still terrible pay. I have never in my life experienced an interview that lasted over three hours- especially a minimum wage job. I even interned at the hospital I applied at. I actually have scribe experience and they didn't offer me a position.Terrible experience and I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Gave us four sheets of medical terms and definitions and asked us two of 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.
