As a hiring manager, why would I hire people who advertise themselves to be poached? In a couple of months, I'm not really sure if they will still be interested, or if they are already on the site again.

I guess that depends if you can keep them interested first.

Doesn't that logic apply to every potential hire who comes to you while employed somewhere else?

Isn't it normal to hire people who are already employed but looking for work? How would someone is who looking to get poached any different than someone looking for a job the "normal" way?

I suppose there are hiring managers who prefer to hire unemployed people but I suspect they prefer desperate job applicants.
