Speak with someone in WPP talent. I think those rules may be in the process of being revised.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
IPG has a similar rule but I think only once an offer has been extended
Thanks for the input. After further research, I found a handbook with this, among many other ridiculous rules. (E.g. limits to salary increases, required evaluation of candidate’s performance with current agency, steep penalties for non-compliance, etc.). And my sources tell me that candidates have not only missed out on opportunities due to non-compliance, some have even been fired from their current jobs. How any of this doesn’t violate antitrust laws is beyond me.
It is crazy because there is a lot of benefit for the employee to stay within their holding company (tenure toward vacation, 401k, etc). But they really make it hard/undesirable.
They do. Technically before you interview but I just went for it and waited to get it once at the offer stage. I’d rather ask for forgiveness than permission. I wouldn’t inform HR.
