HI,I AM SHILPA,
PLEASE TELL ME ANSWER OF THE QUESTION?
IS HEADHUNTING ETHICAL OR UNETHICAL?

We are in a competitive market where supply of talent is less than the demand of talent. We are in “War of Talent” and hence all the ways and modes to acquire the talent is acceptable, legal and ethical. My ethic says that I should get best of people working for my company...I do not care how and from where that talent comes from.
Headhunting is ethical and it is since long time. I think you question should be, “if talent poaching is ethical or not?” Are you sure that you wanted to ask this question only??

In todays world you have to be a wolf in sheeps clothing,
when someone asks about HEADHUNTING, specify it as unethical and not supported, demotivate them from HEADHUNTING.
but when ur in need of manpower, think it as ethical and do it.
Then only u can survive in this competitive world.
THANKS AND REGARDS, and NO COMMENTS PLEASE.
Ravi

Ravi...sometimes I pity on you, not only for your thought process and thinking level but also for your knowledge level.
I wish you more maturity and good luck. With this type of mind set, I do not see you heading anywhere in your professional life...
Change the way you look at the world and everything else will change...
All the best to you...
“Headhunting is universally accepted and encouraged. This is the only way that you can hire Senior Employees in your Organization, because people with good experience and knowledge do not post their resumes on ANY Jobsite. However, “Talent Poaching” in some sectors, is considered as unethical. Be sure, what you are talking...are you refering to "Headhunting" or "Talent Poaching"...
All the best...

Dear Shilpa,
I started my career in a placement agency way back in 1992.At that time we used to do lot of Head Hunting. During that time we were many times abused as non-ethical , dacoiting or following bad standards. Today when i see placement agencies calling themselves as Head Hunters, taking pride in doing these jobs I wonder whether the Industry has accepted these things gracefully or by compulsion. May be tomorrow or after some years Hacking would become ethical & great Hackers would be in great demand. It is all about time.Hence Head hunting i can say is neither ethical nor unethical.
Regards,

Head Hunting is definitely not unethical. It becomes ethical when you do the same from your client place having an MoU signed. Till then nothing stops you to do so, its a fast and a competitive world we are in. . so lets go on!!

Just for your information...there are IT companies and institutes...which give training (Certified Training) in Ethical Hacking.

I do not know why you people are not able to distinguish between HeadHunting and Talent Poaching. Headhunting was never unethical and can never be unethical...Talent Poaching is. You cannot have any agreement or any contract with any company to not to headhunt but you can have agreements to not to poach the talent.

Talent Poaching is at any level. Headhunting is associated with hiring of Senior Professionals. Members in the Senior Management Team. In case of Talent Poaching, the profiles of people are available on job-sites and with consultants...but you target a particular compnay to poach their "Trained and experienced employees".

In case of headhunting...the profiles of these people are not available on jobsites. They do not reply to any job advertisement. They market their resumes through well know consultants and their friends.

Keep Learning. Keep Shariang. Keep Growing.

Well, different people can have different perception and view points.
Talent Poaching and Headhunting are two different things and one should have dofferent skills to perform both the activities. One is ethical and another one is unethical.
You do not headhunt a fresher. You do not headhunt a process associate or an executive. You only headhunt Managers, Vice-Presidents, Directors etc.
Here is a distinction between the two:

Hi,
In my company down here in Nigeria , i have oftentimes resorted to this technique; albeit its ethical status. In a hugely competititive marketplace as we see it today, the end -result is the crucial determinant not always the process,so far there is no policy or legal compromise.
I have attached a doc. on headhunting to further illuminate this issue. Kindly peruse and revert.
Thanks
