“No Hire” is a term commonly used in the context of employment contracts or agreements to refer to a clause that restricts one party, typically a company or organization, from employing individuals who are currently employed by the other party.

When should I use a “No Hire” clause?
A “No Hire” clause should be used when two or more organizations are entering into a contractual relationship and there is a concern about the potential poaching of employees. It is particularly common in:
Collaborative projects where different companies work closely together and have access to each other’s staff.
Consulting agreements that involve temporary partnerships or contracted services.
Mergers and acquisitions to protect the workforce during transition periods.
Vendor-client relationships to prevent clients from hiring the vendor’s employees.
How do I write a “No Hire” clause?
When drafting a “No Hire” clause, it is important to ensure clarity and legality. Generally, the clause should include:
Scope: Define which employees are covered by the clause, specifying departments or roles if necessary.
Duration: State the period during which the “No Hire” clause is applicable.
Geographical location: Specify if the clause is relevant to certain regions or is universally applicable.
Exceptions: Clearly outline any exceptions or situations where the clause would not be enforceable.
Example of a “No Hire” clause:
The Client agrees not to hire, solicit, or employ any staff member or contractor of the Company involved in the performance of this agreement for a period of two years following the termination of this agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company.
Which contracts typically contain a “No Hire” clause?
“No Hire” clauses are often found in the following types of contracts:
Consulting contracts: To protect consultants’ workforce while they provide specialized services.
Service agreements: Between vendors and clients, especially in the tech or engineering sectors.
Partnership agreements: Where companies form alliances and risks of employee poaching are present.
