Company A receives a inquire about a VP position from an employee from Company B.
Employee is highly qualified and HR of company A wants to bring him in for an interview. However, HR has a directive that no person employed at company B will be considered for the position even if employee from Company B initiates inquire about job or even if employee resigns and then applies to job.
One other fact. Company A has hired a CEO from company B 4 months ago which means policy was put in place AFTER this hire.
Apart from clearly been discriminatory to exclude a large number of people with no basis, is it legal to discriminate on these basis?
