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 2 weeks. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (Las Vegas, NV) in Sept 2017
Interview
Sat down at an informal table for a 30 -40 min interview. It was pretty simple, and it seemed like they were mostly interested in current availability / busyness. I didn't make it pass the interview earlier in the year when I had a more hectic schedule despite having the same resume. Be aware that the onboarding can be lengthy for the job; almost ~2 months of training with several stages where you can "fail" and be let go. SA should work on improving this by easing new hires in more and improving training material. There was excessive threatening that you could be let go despite the lackluster training modules. Perhaps introduce scribe shadowing way earlier in the onboarding pipeline so scribes can visualize specific hospital practices during classroom training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Here are our 4 core values (I forget what they were). Tell us a story about how you demonstrated one of the core values.
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.
