Tomorrow, I have the privilege of speaking to the Executive Search Owners Association. Over the years I have had the privilege of representing placement professionals in a number of circumstances. Some tips:

  1. Make sure your engagement agreements/contracts make sense and are enforceable;
  2. Remember that non-competes and non-solicitation agreements in Texas can be enforceable;
  3. Screen your candidates to determine if they have entered into a non-compete or non-solicit;
  4. Remember that if someone you placed is sued it is likely that their new employer will be as well;
  5. Protect your candidate and client information – that information can be a trade secret;
  6. Make sure you are in compliance with the Texas Occupations Code;
  7. A little money spent on an attorney up front can save a lot of money down the road;
  8. Be factual when you talk about a potential employer;
  9. Don’t give legal advice; and
  10. If you sign an agreement prepare to have to comply with it.

Below are some resources and previous writings placement professionals might find of use:

  • Texas Occupations Code Section 2501 (Related to Placement Professionals)
  • Previous entries related to placement professionals including discussion of the Texas Occupations Code; and
  • Previous entries related to Social Networking.

Some COVID-19 Links for employers:

  • Department of Labor Covid-19 Resource Page
  • Department of Labor CARE ACT FAQ
  • Texas Workforce Commission Shared Work Program
