When you work somewhere it is understood that you will not recruit amongst your colleagues.
You may not like that but it is to everybody's mutual advancement that this is the way it is.
I'm saying that as a one-time employee and one time business owner.
Poaching and recruitment are not the same thing. Poaching is recruiting from a business that you have a beneficial relationship with.
The OP has also burned the bridges for the guy he intends to employ and that was less than classy.
- chrisbennet 15y agoI repectfully disagree. I would expect an employer to take that stance. IMO, it's a little like DeBeers telling you how many months salary you should spend on an engagement ring. :-) Employees aren't chattle; they are independant agents who have learned that their employers won't hesitate to lay them off when it is advantagous for the business to do so. Nobody can "steal" an employee away who wants to be there and/or is being paid what he's worth in the marketplace. If an employer wants to keep his employees he can treat them right or not be surprised if they leave to work for someone else who will. On the contrary, former colleagues are just the sort of battle tested people you want working with you.
