I applied for a medical scribe position with ScribeAmerica and completed several steps in the hiring process, including an application, typing assessment, and a virtual interview.
The process is largely automated, with little to no opportunity to speak with a recruiter or ask questions before receiving an offer. After I received the offer, I learned that the role involved traveling between four different locations, which was not specified in the job description or application.
As someone new to scribing and relying on public transportation, this raised concerns about consistency and reliability. Managing multiple locations with different routes and commute times seems like it could be challenging, even for someone with prior experience.
I followed up via email to ask whether scheduling could be more consistent or primarily at one location, but I did not receive a response.
Given the time and effort required to complete the hiring process, the lack of communication at that stage was disappointing. The pay rate was also quite low for the Boston area, especially considering the expectation to travel between multiple sites.
