this is pretty standard business practice for two companies to have a no-poaching agreement. not sure what you're looking for.

what about your inside connection, what do they say? they're not getting you the job anymore? is comp A pissed if you interview at comp B?

This is a one sided agreement, Company B is a non-profit, and our CEO has been very careful to leave no paper trail. I.e. this is not a formal no-poaching agreement.

Yes Company B people cannot interivew me now and CEO probably know I have application in there.

I doubt the board members have a list of what resumes are on file.

Most boards just meet maybe a couple of times a year and talk about the company direction/strategy/blah.

Best bet is to look for company C.

no offense but it's pretty obvious you have no idea what either of those things are.

Yeah this is probably what will end up happening. It's tough though because my son will be needing a $70K operation next year and getting approved takes time. I don't want to be in the middle of a job jump when it's time.

Not having two weeks of living expenses saved up is pretty poor financial planning.

You are correct. Anti-trust usually deals with price fixing and other types of collusion. I believe right to work usually means that you don't have to join a union as prerequisite to get a job. I don't know if certian states have ever tried to tie the two together when it come to anti-poaching agreements.

The fact that these agreements are not in writing and not publicized leads me to doubt their legality. If something is legal and common business practice, why go through all the trouble to hide it? I'm not talking about agreements between companies and contractors where these agreements are common (company hires the consultant instead of paying the consulting firm), but situations like Ford and GM agreeing not to hire each others employees.

There is nothing you can do. The directive not to hire anyone from your company might violatessome sort of restraint of trade law, depending on the circumstances, but it would not be worth your time to fight it and you would have a hell of a time proving it.

Yeah your a douchebag. First I have a family of 4, one with medical condition that requires therapy 3x a week. I am not quitting a job with no "absolute" guaruntee of the other period!

That would be poor planning.

Nice assumption jackass.

[jba]

what trouble are they going to to hide it?

a company can choose not to hire you for any damn reason they want as long as it isn't discriminatory wrt race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sometimes sexual orientation or other reasons.

what do you think the difference is between company B having this policy, and just not hiring people from company A cause they're usually dumb? not much really.

Not having adequate insurance is also pretty poor financial planning.
