I'd be interested to know what "anti-poaching" actually means. It could mean several things, which I'm listing from most reasonable to least reasonable: * Don't try to sabotage the other company's projects by explicitly recruiting key people at crucial times for the project; but it's fine to hire for your own company's productivity. * Don't use the competing company as just a pool of candidates (e.g. stand outside their door asking people to apply to your company); but if you happen to find them through other means (e.g. they come to you, you find them at a conference, etc.), then hire them. * Don't ever hire directly from the other company. * Don't hire someone from a competitor even if they already left. * Don't hire someone that ever worked for a competitor. So, how far do the actual agreements go? Did I miss a potential level of "anti-poaching"?
