Business and Management: Hiring Employees with Non-Compete Agreements

Hiring an HVACR engineer who has previously signed a covenant not to compete can be dangerous. Such a covenant is a contract whereby the promisor (such as an engineer) agrees not to compete with a promisee (such as a past employer, past client, or purchaser of a business) in areas related to the promisees business.
