Hi Frnds,
I want to know whether poaching is unethical.
I know of 2 organizations from where people in bulk are quitting. There may be many reasons to it but if they are not being offered good projects or are not happy with night shifts, is poaching wrong? I know someday I might face the same situation wherein a loop may be formed for my company and poaching wud be done. But, then it is the HR's responsibility to look after the employee.
We can offer a tremendous exposure on the same working technologies. Can somebody let me how can we do this ? I have my own network and this works well. Apart from this, are there any other aspects to take care of ?

Thanks (Cite Contribution) for sharing across the link. That was helpful. I may have used the incorrect word "Poaching".
My concern was how to tap those who are looking for a job change. Your forwarded link has covered pretty few things I'm looking for.

Dear Ashlesha,
Poaching is a huge concern. The escalating salaries used as a ploy to attract talent , affect the industry immensely. If you have noticed the shift from India to Malaysia or any other South-East Asian countries is happening due to escalating cost of hire other than the technological or infrastructural factors.
More importantly, many a times the talent who did not perform well and may have fared badly in the PMA would use this poaching nexus to land a better opportunity and higher pay. This affects the industry further.
That’s a point which we all would agree, yet resort to such tactics whenever we have a huge target to be met in hiring. Restrictive practise or rewards and loyalty program are steps to resolve the effect and not focus on the cause.
The awareness and the decision by a company not to poach is the first step. Followed by the environment within the company which focuses on the holistic growth of a talent. Finally, the will of the talent to generate value in a job rather than monetise at the speed of light!
Please do share your views. I invite others to share how they have been combating this issue.
Regards,

I definitely agree with your views (Cite Contribution). Even when we do hire, we also sign a non-poaching agreement. I am in with your views of poaching by showing high pay and getting in people.
But what I'am facing here is not with pay issue. We are a small organization with 30 people. Inspite of having huge exposure and providing expertise in IT technologies, people refrain from joining us because of our company strength. We have proven egs. on records to compare ourselves with mid-tier key players in market. But when joining comes, people back out.
Firstly, because we do not afford to pay as biggies, what we can promise is a career and not a job.
Secondly, because of our org. size.
Definitely when a reknowned org. A is willing to pay X amount and we can pay only 3/4 th of that amount, there is no looking back for resources.
What my concern is how to get these people in place ? We know we are doing much better in terms of expertise and the level of work we offer and we get.
I am thinking of making are limitations as our strengths and working upon it.
So, poaching is not what I am looking for; but knowing that people are leaving orgs. and we can do sumthing for them, how do I get to them.
