A company handed me a (client constrained) non-compete + non-hire and said the same before they would talk to me about a consulting gig. The first thing to surprise them was that I actually read it. You should have seen their eyes when I started redlining it in front of them. Agency: "We never enforce this, we are really cool, we even let one of our employees go work for one of our clients" Me: "That's not what the paper says though. If you want to initial where I crossed that part out I can sign." They dropped the issue and gave me the gig.
