How to Hire Top Medical Transcriptionists

How to hire medical transcriptionists

From voice-recorded medical reports to medical lectures, medical transcriptionists make recorded information easier to access by transcribing it into text form.  

So how do you hire medical transcriptionists? What follows are some tips for finding top medical transcriptionists on Upwork.

How to shortlist medical transcription professionals

As you’re browsing available medical transcription consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Language. If your project requires transcribing medical information from one language to another, be sure to screen transcriptionists for this skill. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., experience transcribing mixed Spanish/English audio into an English medical report).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular medical transcriptionist.

How to write an effective medical transcription job post

With a clear picture of your ideal medical transcriptionist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective medical transcription job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From generating medical reports to data entry, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain languages or medical applications, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
