[normalized]

I am a co-founder of a startup. My takeaways from this article are:

1) Get a recruiter in-house.

2) Treasure the recruiter as much as the tech talent.

3) External Recruiters will violate non-poaching agreements.

4) It is still useful to have a non-poaching agreement, as it helps as a mild deterrent.

5) Dread thy fellow startup more than a large company.
