Also is the word here really "illegal" or more like a breach of contract? I am not saying doing the opposite of what you signed is legal per-se, my point is that I am not sure if there are actual written laws saying you can't poach. At least in my experience people agree to that, and it's usually when exiting a company, not when joining. As in "you agree not to initiate poaching up until 12 months after leaving the company".

> As in "you agree not to initiate poaching up until 12 months after leaving the company". Where I live that can be legal with the following caveat (same for non-compete): - They have to pay you (a consideration) when signing such agreement - It must be for a definite period of time. (Unsure about how much time is legal though) - The only penalty for breach would be to return the consideration. Where I live most non-competes/non-poaching agreements would be unenforceable since they don't meet the previous criteria. (Unenforceable clauses are normally refereed to as illegal though)
