quote:Right, I understand that. I'm not going from one recruiting firm to another in the same market... I'm wondering if the jobs aren't similar in scope, would a non-compete come into play?
I've litigated non-competes for recruiting companies and they have been enforced by the court
From what I understand, it's to protect a company from firing someone or someone quitting and taking all their clients with them?

You have a little problem - if you ask your current employer for a copy of their non-compete, they are certainly going to figure out what is going on.
If you have a co-worker similarly situated and you trust that co-worker, you could ask him or her for a copy of their non-compete. It is likely they are the same.
The farther away you are from your current market, the less likely the court will enforce them (but bear in mind that some recruiting companies have specialized national markets),
If, for example, you are recruiting in Baton Rouge and all of your employer clients and placements are in BR or NOLA, then I doubt a court would enforce a non-compete that would extend into Shreveport or Dallas.
Of course, I haven't seen your non-compete and I cannot provide you with specific legal advice on a message board.
