What exactly is involved in the Austin hiring process? Why is it difficult?
Austin EMS wants to drop dual Medics.
- Thread starter Harvey
- Start date
Figured it out, the hourly is about the same. Wilco earns more because they work a 56hr week and Austin works a 48.
100 Question written test that is based on National Standards, but in no way as easy as the National Registry.
Skills/Scenarios structured and based on National Standards
Interviews/Physical Ability Test/ Personality Profile or Psych test if you will
Drug Test, Physical from MD
Unless something changed, Wilco EMS does not get paid overtime rates. There's a lawsuit in progress about this.
People don't study and think that because they passed the NREMT-P or have worked at a smaller, more laid-back service that they don't have to study. We lose a lot of people through the written examination and the scenarios. The rest are lost to poor interviewing skills.
Wilco started paying overtime almost a year ago now I believe
Gotcha. That's a big chunk of change that's gonna be paid out.
