Posting Policy
Last updated September 30, 2026
Every Job and Project Work post on Foam Genius Network follows these rules. Companies agree to them each time they post. They are on top of our Terms of Use. Version 2026-09-30.
1. Workers never pay
Never ask a worker to pay you, or anyone else, to apply, get hired, train, or start work. That includes:
- Application, training, or processing fees.
- Paying for a starter kit, uniform, or equipment before they're hired.
- Paying for a background check or drug test.
- Depositing a check, buying gift cards, or sending money by wire, payment app, or crypto.
2. No bank or ID details before hire
Don't ask for bank account or routing numbers, card numbers, Social Security or SIN numbers, or photos of a driver's license or passport in a post or a message. Once you've hired someone, collect the paperwork the law requires through your own hiring process, not through Foam Genius Network.
3. Real work, real pay
- Post only real openings at your company, or real projects you're hiring for. No fake posts to collect contact details, and no business opportunities or sales recruiting.
- The pay you show is what the work pays. Don't show a rate you won't pay.
- Staffing companies say so: pick "Contract through a staffing company" as the employment type.
4. An honest employment type
Pick the employment type that is true for the work: W-2 employee, 1099 contractor, or contract through a staffing company. Don't describe the work one way and hire another way.
5. Fair requirements
Ask only for what the work needs: experience, skills, equipment, certifications, a valid license to drive if the job requires it. Don't limit who can apply because of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or anything else the law protects. The one age rule is ours: everyone on Foam Genius Network is 18 or older.
6. Keep the first talks on Foam Genius Network
Don't send workers to WhatsApp, Telegram, or other apps to apply or interview. Use messages on Foam Genius Network until you've talked and both sides are ready to share contact details.
How we check posts
- A new company's first posts are reviewed by our team before they go live, even after the company page is approved.
- Posts with words that often show up in scams (like "gift card" or "training fee") are held for review too.
- Workers can report any post as "Scam or fake job". Every report is read by a person.
- We may hide or remove posts that break this policy, and suspend the accounts behind them.
Our checks lower the risk. They don't prove that a post or a company is legitimate, so always use your own judgment.
For workers: signs of a scam
- They ask you to pay for anything before you start.
- They send you a check and ask you to send some of the money back or buy something with it.
- They ask for your bank details or ID before you're hired.
- They want to move to another app right away, or offer a job without talking to you.
If you see any of these, stop and use Report on the post or conversation.
