A “no‑hire” (or “no‑poach”) agreement is a contract term between firms not to solicit or hire each other’s employees. Economists and antitrust agencies say such agreements reduce worker mobility and competition for labor, which tends to suppress wages, reduce bargaining leverage, and limit career opportunities.
The FTC’s order covers Adamas Amenity Services LLC and affiliated entities named in the FTC case: Adamas Building Services LLC; Adamas Concierge LLC; Adamas Parking Services LLC; and Adamas Security LLC (all Adamas affiliates listed by the FTC).
The final consent order requires Adamas and its affiliates to immediately stop enforcing all no‑hire agreements and to notify affected customers and employees that prior no‑hire agreements are null and void. The order also contains additional provisions including a ten‑year compliance program and monitoring obligations (FTC summary and press release describe these principal terms; the Decision & Order and Agreement contain the full, detailed obligations).
Yes. The FTC said the order “employs robust compliance and monitoring obligations over the ten‑year term.” The press release and case page describe monitoring/compliance obligations; the Decision & Order (linked on the FTC case page) contains the specific reporting, recordkeeping and enforcement provisions.
The FTC’s public materials say the agency alleged Adamas used anticompetitive no‑hire agreements that restricted building owners/management companies in New Jersey and New York City from hiring Adamas workers without a significant penalty, and that those agreements limited workers’ ability to negotiate higher wages, benefits, and conditions. The Complaint and the FTC’s Analysis of the Agreement (available on the FTC/legal library and Federal Register entries) set out the agency’s factual allegations and legal theory.
