Why not just forget to mention you've worked with FJ. State you were employed by IBM. Your resource hiring manager isn't going to have a clue.

Hard luck these restrictive practises are a real bind.
At GE, they now restrict you to a one year contract and you can't come back for a year I think. If you do come back later for a scond year contract, suppposedly once that is over you can't contract there again.Comment

Until they check the HR database (either directly or via HR). After which the candidate will be considered a timewaster and a liar and won't be considered for any further roles with Fujitsu or by the agency.Originally posted by Incognito View PostIf your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

I've had a similar restriction put on me but only because I left a permie job at a blue chip company with a massive (partly tax free) pay off. One of the conditions was that I couldn't return to the same employer within 2 years but this was down to HMRC rules regarding the tax free part of the pay off, not the company. This didn't stop people doing a Friday permie to Monday contractor to the company they outsourced us to though.Originally posted by gingerjedi View Post
Did you take a tax free pay off when you left or did you just resign? You are right to double check with Fujitsu, it may be that they are over-reacting and hopefully this rule doesn't apply to you.

I think you'll find that, given your sector, geography and the circumstances you find yourself in, you can definitely argue its a restraint of trade.
I would take the contract with whomever is offering it and just see what happens. Let the other party make a big deal out of it and come after you. What's the worst that can happen ? You get it in front of some arbitrator or judge or something and he sees your issues and rules in your favour ? or you have to leave ? I'd chance it.....
Alternately, just approach the one who just gave you notice and agree some sort of 'fee' to allow you go ahead (don't offer it up front) but just ask them if they have any objection.....you might find they won't under the circumstances.....Comment
