Did I just open myself up to a lawsuit for employee poaching? A former colleague of mine (I was their mentor & project lead, not her boss) has been wanting to leave since around the time I left. In conversations as friends I’ve told them about my job and how I miss working with them and that no matter where they went next I’d be a reference and stay a mentor. I said things like the minute I can hire someone, you’ll be my first call… (continued in comments)

No. Its called networking.

@Associate: I’d ask your former place for a copy / copies of any paperwork you signed. And then speak to a lawyer.

So the person's current job is at risk of being cut anyway, you have no hiring authority for this decision, and all you did was share a job post with someone?

I don't think you should be worried about this.

Recently, they’ve learned that there are likely staffing cuts to the client they works on so I told them to apply where I work now because my boss was lamenting how much she is struggling to hire people with talent & experience. So I sent them the job link.

Well, my boss is interviewing them tomorrow. I’m sure they’ll get an offer because they are amazing. I have no role in the decision making process and while we’d have the same boss, our roles won’t work together. Have I put myself or anyone else at risk?

How are they gonna prove anything?

I’m not OP.

Pretty sure a good lawyer would look into the same question I asked.

So yeah, if you actually know, I’d love to find out how. From OP’s post it seems like it would be based on hearsay.

Only if you display their tusks / antlers in your office otherwise think you’re good

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Advertising

I've been through three rounds of interviews at a FAAANG-adjacent (I know, I know) company for a big role. Essentially my dream job. My last round was to submit an assignment, which I did on Wednesday night. On Thursday the internal recruiter responded and shared that "they'll be in touch about next steps very soon...no later than Tuesday!" Well, it's now EOD Wednesday and I haven't heard anything despite following up this morning. Is this a bad sign?
