Hey, I did this ~5 years ago! I was working as a consultant in client company's office (4 days a week) and they opened a position similar to mine there.

I contacted our legal team to ask about the no-compete cause but they told me that the client is not a competitor to my employer so no problem there. No mention about recruiting from supplier either.

Luckily all went well and the client company negotiated things with my employer. I have no idea what kind of compensatory deals they made behind my back as my employer was asking for an yearly fee for my service.

Getting the employers to negotiate about transferring a specialist worked for me, hope you find a solution too.

I've been really happy working for a client, handling multiple different clients was stressing me out.
