I have no issues with companies courting employees from other companies; it shifts the power balance a bit back towards the individual for a change.
I am, however, a little put off by the term "poached", which BigCommerce is actively using in their campaign. It implies the sentiment that these people are simply a quarry being hunted as a prize rather people, of their own free will, deciding that the grass is greener elsewhere. Language matters.
