I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (Minot, ND) in Apr 2016
Interview
You go to the website and follow the instructions on how to apply. After filling out the online application form, you application is then sent to the recruiter in charge of the region you are applying for. This takes about 2-3 weeks so apply well in advance. After all clarifications has been made, your application is then forwarded to the chief scribe of the facility running the scribeamerica program. He/she will then schedule an interview appointment with you. Depending on what kind of person interviews you, the questions can range from very simple basic knowledge of the organization to technical and in-depth knowledge of the organization (scribeamerica)
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.
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.
