English term or phrase: POACH
Solicito sua ajuda para traduzir o termo 'poach' no contexto abaixo.

Industry cannot “poach” its way out of the talent shortage.

"roubar" talento
Explanation:
O termo "poach" neste context se refere à prática de identificar bons empregados em outras empresas e atraí-los com propostas boas. "to poach" é caçar ilicitamente. Esta maneira de conseguir empregados é considerada, no mínimo, anti-ética.
