Firstly: Are you saying that it is unfair or clandestine to offer someone a job?

Secondly: Connotation matters. Poaching is clearly a pejorative term.

Clandestine, very often, certainly. Admittedly this use principally reflects the employers' perspective, and maybe a better (more accurate, more neutral) term could be used, but this is a separate issue from any association with hunting.
