Hiring from IBM’s Business Partners: We do not directly recruit individuals employed
by our customers/business partners, as such employment could affect our business
relationships and create embarrassing situations. Prior to issuing an offer to applicants, IST
Rec notifies the IBM Business Partner Representative based within IBM and obtains
2. approval from.
Remember: IBM must respect the confidentiality of applicants at all times.
Should the IBM BP Representative assess that the client needs to be notified
about the pending appointment, permission must be obtained from the
applicant in writing prior to contact being made.
Rehires: In exceptional circumstances, where there is a significant business need, former
3. IBM staff may be reemployed. (Expectation: Any former employee, who has left IBM as
part of a Resource Action or Management Initiated Separation.)
Non-Compete Clause: All Candidates are required to indicate on their IBM Application for
Employment if they have a non-compete clause related to a previous employer. In further
4.
steps of the hiring process IBM checks to what extent it is exposed to this non-compete
clause, by hiring the candidate. If needed IBM Legal must review and approve.
