Part of every formal job application process that I've completed is to disclose any applicable non-competes. All of those companies will not risk violating a non-compete due to the substantial legal risk, placing the employee in another area, or more likely, declining to hire.
I haven't seen this yet in NY, although I have been contracting for several years.
In the case of my ex-boss, he told New Company right away as he was being hired, and they had already the legal setup to watch his back. Lawyers came after New Company, and then eventually it went quiet.
