My partner works for a big accounting firm and when a member of staff wants to leave their people-manager, will if they wish, actively help them find a secondment to another firm (not a competitor).
People sometimes want to leave a job and it's in everyones interest for that process to be smooth and pleasant. The leaver has a good final impression of the firm so they recomend it in the future to potential clients or employees, they get support in finding and trialing a new job, and the company to whihc they are seconded gets a low risk trial of a new memeber of staff.
It just seems so grown up compared to the ineffectual thrashing about of tech recruiting.
