I provided my employment agreement to the new company when they asked for it.

Often it's just that the two companies are aware of each other's policies. If they've heard of Company B and know it has a non-compete they just reject you.

Kind of weakens the argument for negotiating the non-compete clause(s) out of the contract. You might get screwed anyway if the hiring company assumes you had to sign one.
