THE US IS INVESTIGATING the recruitment policies of technology giants to see if they violate antitrust laws.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the US Justice Department has opened an inquiry to explore the hiring practices of companies like Intel, Google, Apple and IBM.
The investigation stems from allegations that the companies have policies not to recruit each others' skilled staff. So a Google engineer, for example, can't get a better job at Apple. This is tantamount to agreeing to price fixing because, if true, it has the effect of keeping labour costs down.
