I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (New York, NY) in Jul 2016
Interview
Received an email from a chief scribe (people who manage the scribes). Had a quick interview with him in-person at a Starbucks location. The interview was rather informal, with the first half consisting of him explaining what Scribe America is all about and its myriad of policies and expectations. The second half was me answering his questions about my background, goals, past work experience, hypothetical scenarios, etc. Straightforward questions, nothing tricky. Was offered the position a few days later via email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked basic questions about myself, why I want to become a scribe, my long-term goals, etc
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.
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.

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.
