in the battle field, I suppose, theories are customized to adopt to the local situation. That is, if we are talking about disputable matters and not provisions of the law.

Sometimes, i wonder if truly the real hr is practiced, many attimes one discovered that what is being thougths or provided for in theory difers in practice. How do one reconcile the two?

I guess the article pointed out a possiblity of success and maybe they did succeed when they employed such a tactic. I agree that solo stars have distinct advantages as well. I believe such formidable teams started with solo stars as well. I experienced both scenarios in my previous companies and I’d defienitely say that both have their own pros and cons.

@ Lazarus – It’s a challenge to get the best if your offer is not as competitive. But salary is not the only thing to offer. I remembered back in college, a good number of my contemporaries chose to apply in a consulting which overworks and underpays their employees in exchange for growth.

Hi Lazarus,

as they say, competitive salary is relative to the talent and the industry. however, in the Philippine context, where supply is greater than the demand (or mismatch of available supply against the need), would be employees just accept what is available.

With a not-so-competitive salary structure, how can we hire the best talent out there?
Specially now that we’re competing with call centers for the fresh graduates market.

@ Landinn– you provided a better alternative. Pirating the entire team does not only pulverize the competition, it may also be detrimental to the organization, i.e. a power block to contend with.

@ Sarat– first and foremost, you have to be registered to operate legally in your area. An office to serve as your recruitment area, and of course the network to start with as your initial clients. Hope this help a little.

As a recruiter at a Fortune 100 Technology Company, I can tell you that sometimes we don’t WANT the whole team. If we should, by chance, feel that a whole team or even a company is worthy of our regard, sometimes either forging a strategic alliance or even a full acquisition is the answer.

Please also note that recruiting talent is the first step in the HR lifecycle, and often a predictor of a company’s success in the market.
