For avoidance of doubt, a general advertisement or notice of a job listing or opening or other similar general publication of a job search or availability to fill employment positions, including on the Internet, shall not be construed as a solicitation or inducement for the purposes of this Section 6, and the hiring or engagement of any such person who freely responds thereto shall not be a breach of this Section 6.
