Fascinating. Isn't this what Dr. Sullivan has been saying for a long, long time?
It is indeed. The interesting thing is that when he says all the HR compliance weenies scream that actively poaching talent would violate anti-trust. Just goes to show you shouldn't be listening to the HR compliance weenies!
