> Another clause to watch out for […] is the "I agree not to cause any other employees to get hired," which prohibits you from hiring directly or allowing any current employees to get hired by the company to which you went. This clause protects the company from the unlikely event of a manager leaving and taking their team with them.
I had a previous employer threaten to sue me for this after a couple friends followed me to a new job on their own accord and despite having signed nothing of the sort. One strongly worded letter from a lawyer though and they dropped the whole affair.
- j33zusjuice 4y agoI wonder how these hold up, and what the clause “I agree not to cause any other employees to get hired” means in a legal sense. Like, if you and I work at Company A, and you go to Company B and I want to go there because it’s amazing. If you recommend me, is that causal? I have to interview and all that still. If you leave for a managerial role, can you hire me if I make first contact with your new company? That seems causal, but also easily circumvented.
