The best thing your friend must have done long back is sign a 'non-poaching of employees' OR 'A non hiring of each others employees' bond with all your clients. Let me know if you need more help

The Agreement/Contract between the client and the service provider is a mutual understanding and not shared withemployees even during rejection in interviews in case.
I have noticed many MNC companies in India and US taking up such measures.

Dear ,
You can get contract with employee stating about there should not be joining at client'sorganisation within six months time at the time of leaving our organisation.
Try to avoid direct contact with clients and there should be code for your client to avoide exposure and you need regular monitoring on this.
Please alert your HR dept.

Hi All,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
He already have a anti poaching agreement with the client, but he cannot proceed legally with the client because the client is too big and this guy will be a nothing for him. Its a small co. of 15 employees
And the reason for the employees to leave his co. is, they are lured by brand image, pay...of the client co...
Despite of paying bonuses to the employees after every project, awarding the best employees, employee engagement activities like get togethers, birth day parties...
This is happening
I also advised him to engage employees in making some decisions, generating new ideas....awarding the best ideas..
But of no use

As others have suggested, some things your friend could do:
1) Sign a separate non-poaching agreement with his clients.
2) Include a non-poaching clause in every agreement.
3) Talk to the clients and request them to refrain from hiring your employees because it would impact the completion of the work you are doing for them. One of the large ITES companies (a banking BPO) in Vizag has agreed not to hire anyone from smaller local BPOs until and unless the candidate has received a relieving letter from them (local BPOs). They did not need to and could have just ignored the troubles of the small companies but they were nice enough to understand.
In addition, another alternative your friend could do try is to talk to the client(s) and reach an agreement with them...he/she trains his employees and when they are found to be good enough to be hired by his/her client(s), they (client) pays him a recruitment fee.
Maybe your friend is good enough that this can become a second line of business - turn the competition for resources into an opportunity to make money.
Good luck to you and your friend.
