I have seen plenty of contracts with ‘anti-poaching’ clauses in them.   How 
enforceable they are is beyond my pay grade.

And no - I generally won’t consider hiring someone from a contractor or 
competitor unless the employee approaches me first.   Even then I’m going to 
tell them that they need to go discuss it with the current employer first.
