I work as a Shop Manager at a multinational clothing retail company. Our Regional Sales Director, my boss, sat down with me and my managerial colleagues. She suspects that some employees got poached from our store, and asked us if we knew anything. We all said no. Then she reminded us just to contact her if we see anything cagey. I asked if she had any tips, but she said no special skills were required. We just needed to "keep our eyes peeled".
I'm boggled by the Reddit comments under. Obviously the scout wouldn't wear her own company's uniform. But how can she slip her business card without worrying about other employees in the competitor's store noticing? Or worrying if her business card will be forwarded to the competitor's store's legal counsel who may sue her?
And how can she speak in person to ask if this competitor's employee will switch? Other employees in the store can overhear.
Do these scouters have other tactics?

I’ve seen the Lowes store manager come into our store. He has told me if I’m ever interested, to let him know

I've scouted Lowe's fairly regularly and have poached a few associates. Don't see how this is a surprise

My old SM used to go to the local Menard's to try to poach people from there.

One of my old SM's used to try to poach from the Lowes across the road. He would hand his card out to anyone who gave him a glimmer of good customer service.

Often times employees in these positions feel undervalued and overlooked. So having someone else say “wow you’re doing an awesome job. I’d love for you to come work for me at XYZ” sounds good because it’s a change and the person seems nice.

The operations manager walked up to me to say how bad he felt that I have been working 60 hour weeks because they can't find anyone decent to hire. Sometimes the manager brings me an ice cream or a gift card. I told him that was like when a man beats his wife and takes her out to dinner the next day.
