Employee Non-Solicit Clause Samples
An Employee Non-Solicit clause prohibits a departing employee from attempting to recruit or hire current employees of their former employer for a specified period after leaving the company. Typically, this restriction applies regardless of whether the solicitation is direct or indirect, and may cover both employees and independent contractors associated with the business. The core purpose of this clause is to protect the employer’s workforce stability and prevent disruption or loss of talent that could result from former employees enticing colleagues to join a competitor or new venture.
