The term "talent acquisition" has been applied to a number of startup successes over the past few years.
I question whether that is in part due to anti competitive agreements between Intel, Google etc.
If they can't poach each other's engineers, they must go somewhere else for talent. What better place than the most ambitious, intelligent group?
- mseebach 15y agoUhm, why wouldn't they want to approach "the most ambitious, intelligent group" even without anti-poaching agreements? As anti-competitive and illegal as the anti-poaching agreements are, they contain an important insight: These companies need to grow the total pool of people working for them to keep growing the sector. At the macro-level, it is perfectly in Googles interest that Apple grows, and vice-verse.
- wtvanhest 15y agoThe anti-competitive agreements pose a restriction on HR departments and there for the markets which force companies to look at startups for talent. In order to get such talent companies must offer large payouts to founders since the next source for talent is a highly fragmented group and there for hard to target.
