It is not illegal. Companies can agree to not recruit - an activity initiated by recruiters - from each other. Now, if they agreed to not hire each other's employees, that would be a violation of right-to-work.
He nowhere says he has a rule to not hire Adobe employees; he's saying he has a rule that his recruiters can't use Adobe's employee org chart as a shopping menu. That's completely legal.
I don't think that is accurate. I am not a lawyer but I believe that it is collusion between competitors with the intent to manipulate the labor market.
I feel like that's the exact sort of loophole the U.S government would choose not to address for convenience, of course.
Oh! Enforcement is a joke, no doubt, but that doesn't mean it is legal, just makes the government work hard for it and since they were strapped (now scrapped), they don't pursue action against these fuckers.
