So I recently changed my job, and have been given a req for a new hire reporting to me. I may be able to announce the position on Linked In. For ethical reasons, I will NOT be approaching anyone at my former company about this, but what if someone from that company approaches me after seeing it on Linked In? Would it be ethical to allow them to apply for the job?
