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. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica in Apr 2017
Interview
It was a decent interview at a local Starbucks. I was there early and so was the chief scribe, when we finally met each other we started the interview right away. She told me a little bit about what it would be like in the ED and the hours that i am required to work. Most of her questions were about my availability. After she finished asking me questions she then handed me a small packet with a little over 60 questions and she told me i had 30 minutes to complete my initial exam. It consisted of medical terms and abbreviations (spelling counts), from the review packet that she sent me via email when setting up the interview. Later that evening i received an email from her stating that i had been offered the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was the last time you were given constructive criticism, and how did you handle it?
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.
