" What should you do - if a Recruiter Is trying to poach One of Your Employees ? "
If you have smart, talented people on your team, chances are they’ll get calls from recruiters ! It is inevitable, now or in future .
How should you respond when a competitor is wooing one of your employees?
First, watch for signs that someone is thinking of leaving.
If a team member is turned down for a promotion or has a project postponed, he might be more receptive to recruiters.
If you learn that a valuable employee is considering her options, take action.
What to do :
Have a frank conversation about what the person is thinking, and ask if there are simple things you can do to help her reconsider.
(Offering new challenges? Helping her join a board?).
What not to do : counter offer and its counter effects
And DON'T jump to a counteroffer !
People leave because they’re unhappy, so a counteroffer means you’re paying more , to keep an unhappy worker !
But even if someone does leave the company, keep it in perspective. For, sometimes people just need to move on ! "
