Yes, they can require anyone working for them--whether as employees, through a staffing agency, or as contractors--sign a non-disclosure agreeement. Employers may set the rules for employment--for working for or with them. Those rules can include having to sign NDA (or also non-competition or non-solicitation) agreements. Anyone who will not sign may be terminated.
