Employee poaching or job poaching are other names for job poaching. Employing workers from rival companies is a deliberate strategy used by businesses. Job poaching generally happens when a position calls for a highly sought-after set of abilities. While illegal hunting is referred to as “poaching,” job poaching is not.
Job poaching is a prevalent practice in fields like software development, programming, data analysis, etc. where businesses want highly trained workers. A recruiter from a reputable company may phone a highly trained and skilled engineer or software development with an offer of increased pay or other benefits.
