AllTranscript.com an online audio transcription company has recently
announced their plans for opening a new office at Chicago Business
district. The NY based company will be hiring an office space suitable
for a workforce of 12 to 15 transcribers. Currently the company offers general
transcription and legal transcription as a part of their service portfolio.
The
plan to venture out in Chicago business space came from Melvin Wong, one of the
senior typist. Melvin throws some light on the business move, “Our company
primarily NY based, hence most of our customers are very localized. We are
constantly striving to grow and expanding into other American states is a way
that I think we could venture into. Chicago being the third populous city after
NY and LA, many of our target clienteles are present in strong numbers.
Currently we are looking at capturing the therapists segment as we begin to
introduce our services. Later on, depending upon our foothold we will be
targeting academicians and the legal segment transcription here at Chicago.”
The company hires experienced and fresh
transcriptionists for their backend work. With the new office, some of the more
experienced transcribers will be moving to the Chicago office in the coming few
months. Also, part of the hiring will be done in Chicago for local home-based
transcribers. Melissa McDonald, hiring manager says “For transcription hiring
we are following a 40-60 rule where 40 percent of our transcriber will be
experienced and probably will be our current NY office. The rest 60 percent
will be fresh recruits from local Chicago area.
We are also looking at
home-based transcribers as a business strategy to offset costs. Home
based transcription jobs help us to save on personnel costs, office space and
it cost and travel expenses that are partly borne by the company. It also gives
an opportunity to moms who possess the necessary transcription skills and
experience but otherwise may not be able to take up a job due to home life
commitments.”

psychiatrists. In addition to the medical sector, Chicago has a strong
