Instant Technology LLC v. Elizabeth DeFazio

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

Instant Technology LLC is an information-technology staffing firm. It helps organizations looking to hire tech workers find tech workers looking for jobs. Instant’s employees work in either “recruiting” or “sales”: the first group finds qualified candidates and the second group pitches them to the hiring organizations. Both sets of employees sign agreements in which they promise not to solicit business from Instant’s clients, not to recruit Instant’s employees to other jobs, and not to disclose the firm’s sensitive information to outsiders.
