If he wants to go forward, best plan would be to tell his friend that

he cannot get involved, but that he should reach out to HR to ask them if there are any opportunities. He should then tell HR that he has a nonsolicit and should not be involved in the recruiting/interviewing process, and should not be asked for info about the candidate. All of this is best done in writing, of course.

Anyone here dealt with a non-solicitation agreement? -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 08:53AM

I've seen people break those several times without detriment. ** -- MikeVT85 07/18/2018 6:15PM

To me it depends somewhat on what is at stake -- North Main Hokie 07/18/2018 5:58PM

Tell him to quit, hire on at McDonald's for a day, then call you back. -- MP4VT2004 07/18/2018 12:39PM

You didn't solicit him, and you can't hire him. -- 48zip 07/18/2018 10:20AM

The issue here is all that is very decentralized. Our locations are so -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 10:23AM

So this guy would work directly for you (or in your chain of command)? -- ModerateHokie 07/18/2018 1:34PM

But Elberto didn't solicit him. He solicited Elberto...for some reason. -- 48zip 07/18/2018 1:49PM

You shut up I'm grate. ** -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 2:08PM

Refer him to HR or your jobs web page. ** -- 81_Hokie 07/18/2018 10:11AM

IT'S OKAY EVERYONE. The lawyers have exited their coffins and are now -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 09:49AM

Last time I give you any advice ** -- ModerateHokie 07/18/2018 10:02AM

Aw come on. Lawyer jokes are standard. ** -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 10:03AM

Video of ElbertoHokie meeting with his lawyers... -- Hokie CPA 07/18/2018 09:53AM

Or he didn't contact you and you have no knowledge about his job search -- HokieAl 07/18/2018 09:38AM

Oh.....that kind of solicitation. i thought we were talking street walkers** -- squarerootofone 07/18/2018 09:27AM

SHUN. -- Hokie CPA 07/18/2018 09:30AM

I think that this version was made for streets -- Late 80s Hokie 07/18/2018 09:35AM

Anti-Shun: -- squarerootofone 07/18/2018 09:35AM

I would politely decline. Depending on importance of that employee to the -- ModerateHokie 07/18/2018 09:04AM

Yeah, I'm leaning that way. Just stinks. It just isn't worth the -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 09:08AM

So tell him you are interested but can't do anything until (date) -- DonHo-kieHi 07/18/2018 10:13AM

Not a lawyer, but it sounds like you were solicited, not the solicitor. -- Hokie CPA 07/18/2018 08:55AM

Very dangerous rationalization, IMO ** -- ModerateHokie 07/18/2018 09:04AM

That's why I prefaced the thought with "Not a lawyer." I should never be -- Hokie CPA 07/18/2018 09:22AM

It specifically says in the language that I can't "hire" or solicit. -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 08:58AM

Have him contact your HR directly -- TomTurkey 07/18/2018 09:16AM

If he wants to go forward, best plan would be to tell his friend that -- ModerateHokie 07/18/2018 09:30AM

Yes, my overall thought if the initial contact didn't overshadow it ** -- TomTurkey 07/18/2018 09:33AM

I have the non-solicit. He does not. ** -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 09:50AM

So your company can "hire" ** -- TomTurkey 07/18/2018 10:00AM

Yes. Company can hire. ** -- ElbertoHokie 07/18/2018 10:01AM

The geographic boundary issue is standard. Noncompetes must have them.... -- ModerateHokie 07/18/2018 09:16AM
