Google Violates "NO Poach" Agreement; Hires Apple's Senior Director
Bangalore: Google has apparently violated the secret “no-poach” agreement with Apple by hiring Simon Prakash, Apple’s Senior Director of product integrity.
Venture Beat reported that Prakash will be working on a secret project, presumably run by Google co founder Sergery Brin, who is responsible for a variety of secret research and development projects. With the recent acquisition of Motorola Mobility, Google has a wide number of hardware projects going on.
Prakash has more than 8 years of experience at Apple and was responsible for quality assurance across Apple’s various products from iPods to Macs. This is for the first time that Google is hiring such a senior person from Apple.
With this hiring Google made it clear that if there really was a “no-poach” agreement between Apple, it no longer exists. Google and Apple, along with Pixar, Intel, Lucasfilm and Intuit are accused of secretly entering into agreements for not poaching each other’s employs and the companies are also in the fear of facing law suit.
Google had earlier defended itself on Anti-trust lawsuit over secret no-poaching agreements saying that it has “always actively and aggressively recruited top talent.”
