Wait, it doesn't seem like a no poach contract with a recruiter would fall under the same laws. In California an employee is almost always free to quit and work for a direct competitor if that's what they want. However, if a recruiter signs a no poach contract stating they won't contact employees with other job opportunities for 18 months that's an entirely separate issue and doesn't seem like it would be covered by the same law.
