Can't you sue the companies in question if there is any evidence they're doing that?

  Sure, if you have the resources. In my case, it was far more feasible to change careers. Edit: I did speak with a few attorneys. But they all wanted cash up front. And told me that I had little chance of success.

    Can you give an example of an industry like this?

      Saying more about my case would reveal too much about my identity. Sorry. Perhaps others can share.

      Software engineering? Like, two years ago? How are you on HN, but missed this? https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-google-others-settle-anti-poaching-lawsuit-for-415-million/ https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-google-others-settle-anti-po...

        I'm aware of that. I was asking about a smaller industry with more specialized skills where that would be commonplace.
