Genesis Staffing

I’ve dealt with my fair share of recruiters so I am familiar with the process. But, something about the way Genesis handled everything from the get-​go left me with an unsettling feeling. Now, I don’t usually care to write reviews but I’ll consider this my PSA to fellow job hunters, just as the other Unilocalers have done by sharing their story. Let me walk you through my personal experience with Joe Brown.
Day 1: I received 4 phone calls, 3 voice mails in a matter of 3 hours (which I discovered later that day and couldn’t answer because I was in the middle of something). Each message progressively increased in urgency about a imminent job placement set for 2 days (from referenced date). The weird thing was, the deadline was a moving target in each of the voice mail messages.
Hmmm?
Hold on, I don’t even know where you got my contact info from? Does Genesis have a real office? Why are they asking for sensitive information (i.e., DOB, SSN) already and they have not confirmed an legitimate offer on paper??! Oh and there were 2 emails (on top of the phone calls and VMs). Still same day, 3 hours time frame. And you want me to email a profile photo too?
No thanks dude.
Looking for a job is stressful enough and your time is valuable. Do yourself a favor and keep trucking on because you will land the right job, minus the games and BS. Good luck on your job search!

**Update 05/​09/​2013** Joe successfully requested his nasty gram email to me be taken down from their Unilocal page that I uploaded as a photo of his business. Buyer beware, do business with them and you are asking to be ripped off.

To date this has to be my worst experience with any sort of business that holds itself out to be a professional recruiting firm. I was contacted by the CEO/​President Joe Brown on a cold call since I had never submitted my resume to this service nor had any prior communications with this company in the past. I politely informed Joe I was not looking for a new position to which Joe slammed the phone down and hung up on me. Apparently he had sent me a listing of positions he was looking to fill, which I noticed were all very low paying positions relative to the job titles and descriptions when I got around to checking my email. When I contacted him via email to see where he had gotten my information so I could inform the related parties to cease and desist from sharing my personal information, I received rude and nasty responses telling me to «GET LOST LOSER» among other nasty responses. I would avoid this place at all costs. I did some research and found that Joe is very inexperienced in the recruiting field with only a few years of experience at Robert Half. Further, when I looked into the Genesis Staffing website I don’t know if I would ever want to work with this guy in finding a position if the company holds him out to be a «visionary in expanding the core business by being innovative, suggesting effective cost saving staffing solutions to Employers.» Kind of sounds like he wants his clients to do all the work and get paid less money so he can make a living. Avoid at all costs. See posted pictures for copies of the emails from Joe.
