Hello Amit,
I do not know much about you but from the post I believe you working as HR Consultants focusing on Recruitment / Head Hunting.
Normally recruiters have tie-ups with many companies. So there are lots of vacancies that you work for. You know lots of people. You know some internal talent as well.
Basically poaching is the term used when a recruitment agency is trying to recruit the person/employee of one of it's client at another client's request. People also call it head hunting.
The client companies usually ask for no-poaching agreement with the recruiters to ensure that the time and money that they've invested in hiring, training and making a person effective and performable should not be wasted by they simply being head-hunted / poached by some of their competitors.
I hope this clears your doubt.

It is no-poach agreement. Let's assume 'X' is your client and you sign no-poach agreement with them. Now if your other clients need candidates, you cannot recommend any employees working in 'X' to this offer.
I too have signed no-poach with few of my clients. I don't have this no-poach agreement with few other companies, still I don't recommend candidates working with my existing clients to another client, irrespective of whether no-poach exist or not.
In case a candidate resigns on his own from a company, who happen to be my client, what I used to do is to write a mail to HR and get their NoC before putting the said candidate to other offers. (This again only if atleast 2 months has passed since last working day). If candidate approaches before expiry of 2 months, I straight away tell them No.

No-poaching agreement is, presently, a contract between the recruiting agency and the firm. Soon, hopefully (but improbable), there will be a 'gentlemen' agreement between two companies who will not poach into the other company. This is when the companies are doing the similar business. If one goes through the IT industry HR retention, one sees maximum attrition!
Many years back, in the airline industry in India, there was lots of poaching between airlines - this was when many airlines started up (2005-06 - SpiceJet, Kingfisher, Go, Indigo, Paramount) and the market was deficient with skilled manpower (including Pilots). There was lots of poaching till the regulator (DGCA) stepped in and issued a rule that Pilots should give a six month notice before leaving an airline for joining another.

There exists this no-poach between 2 companies operating in same industry. Few of my clients, while sharing the JD, also give names of 2 or 3 companies from where, we cannot pull candidates.
On the other hand, I have also seen organizations who are open to hire candidates working in other companies part of the same group. They don't even ask for NoC from the HR
