    Very much illegal. It’s a form of labor wage control

    Imagine once you get a FAANG job you cant get another job offer from a different FAANG company, now your stuck, no price bidding, no ladder hopping, no finding a new job when your unhappy

      It is not illegal. Companies can agree to not recruit - an activity initiated by recruiters - from each other. Now, if they agreed to not hire each other’s employees, that would be a violation of right-to-work.

      He nowhere says he has a rule to not hire Adobe employees; he’s saying he has a rule that his recruiters can’t use Adobe’s employee org chart as a shopping menu. That’s completely legal.

        I don’t think that is accurate. I am not a lawyer but I believe that it is collusion between competitors with the intent to manipulate the labor market.

          I feel like that’s the exact sort of loophole the U.S government would choose not to address for convenience, of course.
