I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (New Brunswick, NJ) in Nov 2014
Interview
Require to submit a quick test about typing speed. They ask you to look over a document with few medical abbrev and names(memorize it as it will be tested). I first applied online, and I got an email from them within a week and then was able to meet the people. They were friendly and very willing to adapt if certain times did not work out. They asked pretty basic interview questions. After the interview, you would hear back within 1-2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are some good qualities when meeting someone for the first time.
ScribeAmerica provided excellent training, supportive leadership, and invaluable exposure to clinical medicine. The role sharpened my documentation skills, improved my clinical knowledge, and connected me with inspiring physicians in diverse specialties.
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.
