Special Agreement Hiring Policy
Protocol for "Restricted Hiring," "Do Not Cold Call," and
"Sensitive" Companies

""

...

Due to our partnerships, the following companies (and by association, their subsidiaries listed in
Appendix B) fall under the "Sensitive" companies list:
Parent Companies:
• AOL,Inc.
• Ask.com
• Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
• Dell,lnc.
• Earthlink, Inc.
• Virgin Media, Inc. (Formerly NTL, Inc.)
For each of these "Sensitive" companies we agreed to the following protocol:

1. Executive Recruiting: Inform EMG of any Director level or above candidate who we have
engaged and who is starting the interview process at Google

2. Executive Recruiting: If we go to offer with a Director or above candidate, Staffing should
inform EMG and EMG will designate a senior exec to place a courtesy call into the Sensitive
company to let them know we have made an offer;
a. And by exception, when EMG deems necessary, calling into a Sensitive company to
indicate we will be making an offer.
3. General Recruiting: For any non-exec position, we should be aware the company is on the
Sensitive Company list but there are no restrictions to our recruiting from these companies at
junior levels.

Please be cautious when recruiting teams from any company to keep our candidates and potential
employees safe from legal action. Most companies have non-solicit agreements which would limit or
prohibit a candidate from asking a coworker to interview with us as well.

Recruiting from Staffing Agencies I Partners

As a general rule, we should not be recruiting staffing talent from any of our approved staffing
partners. The lists on the following page outline these partners for both U.S. and International staffing.
