About this listen

Recruiter Adam Klug knows what really happens when non-competes enter the hiring conversation.

Adam has seen four-year restrictions kill otherwise perfect job offers and he's learned that most people who sign these agreements never actually read them.

Our conversation gets into the mechanics of non-competes: what courts actually enforce, why geography clauses written in the 1980s don't make sense in a remote work world, and how one three-way negotiation between an old employer, new employer, and the employee caught in the middle actually worked out.

I break down the legal side of non-competes: → The "blue pencil doctrine" that lets judges rewrite your agreement. → The difference between non-competes, non-solicits, and non-poaching clauses. → Why continued employment counts as legal consideration even when it feels like coercion.

We also talk about what most business owners never do: dust off their employment documents and ask whether they still make sense. ~~~ This episode is brought to you by Fausone & Grysko, PLC https://www.thefgfirm.law/
