There are downsides to informal "no poaching" agreements. After I left one e-company, I applied at another, and later learned I wouldn't be interviewed because of the previous company on my resume. The first company was major client of the second, and they didn't want to have even the appearance of "poaching."

- alttag 15y agoNo, the company's representatives did not formally/explicitly say it. My resume just went into a black hole, where I couldn't get a response from anyone. Later, some colleagues who worked there mentioned (after I'd found a job elsewhere) that it's something of an unspoken policy between the two companies, and was likely the cause of my experience.
