Genesis 10

I was contacted about my experience by the head of human resources at Genesis. She apologized multiple times and asked for any additional information I could provide her, and I saved the inflammatory emails Shane sent me and sent those her way. Five minutes later she replied that it had become an internal matter and that was all I needed to do. I appreciate their follow up; I really hope some lessons were learned.

Genesis 10 are really polite and friendly until the nanosecond when they no longer have a need for you. If receive no offer, or turn one down, they cannot wait to hustle you out the door. And forget about getting your expenses reimbursed.
They seem to only have one client, Bloomberg, for whom they are pretty much a sock puppet. Perhaps it’s cheaper this way, perhaps it protects them from negative publicity, I do not know.
But do not be fooled by how nice they are to you when they want something. Recruiters are scum, and Genesis 10 are the slimiest of the bunch.

Run, don’t walk, away from Genesis 10. This company has dishonest policies. I will provide one example of why, but there are many reasons to not trust this company.
So, I get a job interview and they decide that I need to pay for the flight into NY from California as a good faith gesture which I can understand. They assure me that they will pay me back after the interview. A few days later, there is a change of plans; they will pay for the flight (they got it for a song) and I will pay or everything else. Strange, but I will be reimbursed.
When I get to the Genesis 10 office, some guy in a dressed like a car salesman shows up and there’s a secretary: no one else. Seems a bit strange, but alright. They send me on the interview which was a cluster: I was supposed to meet with people and instead spent roughly ¹⁄₃ of my interview time in a room by myself. I ended up turning down the job apparently because I never knew that I had a job offer. Bloomberg made me an offer, but Genesis 10 never said anything… for 3 months. I did not have the offer or even a hint of the offer and Genesis 10 refused to provide details after multiple emails, I took a local job. As a result of me not taking their offer, they refused to pay my reimbursement expenses stating that because of the fine print in a doc attached to the flight info: I was ‘informed’ (which was hidden in a wall of text) that they would not reimburse me … after the fact that they had already booked my flight.
After the hurricane, I didn’t really expect to receive reimbursement, partly because Genesis 10 drug their feet for 3 months on paying me for this, but I am out over $ 300 and these guys are just untrustworthy.
So, in short, if you go on an interview with them and you don’t like Bloomberg (or whomever you are interviewing for) then you pay for almost everything yourself. Again, there are many other reasons to find Genesis 10 dubious and those include full-​disclosure, hidden attachments to emails (didn’t you see the fine print), general honesty, help finding a place to stay at a reasonable price, etc.
