There are a few basic pathways to hiring qualified a TypeWell transcriber:
- Recruit, hire, and train a new transcriber
- Hire an already-trained transcriber
- Contract with an independent service provider (a freelance transcriber or a company/agency that provides qualified transcribers who have already graduated from the TypeWell course)
[TypeWell is no longer accepting candidates for our Train-to-Hire program.]
Despite the initial expenses, hiring your own transcriber is usually the most cost effective route. If you’re hiring new transcribers, we’ll help you find capable candidates to complete our online training.
However, if you have fewer than 2 hours of transcribing services a week, or if you prefer not to hire your own transcribers, then you can contract with an outside party for hourly on-site or remote services.
We can post your open job position to our TypeWell Job Board for a $10 fee. Fill out this form to get started! (Need help drafting your job post? Here's a sample job description to get you started.)
We are also happy to search our internal database and connect you with qualified freelancers or agencies in your area.
Finally, our professional association maintains a Directory of qualified providers on its website:
