Witch hunting is an attempt to find and punish a particular group of people who are being blamed for something, often simply because of their opinions and not because they have actually done anything wrong. Head hunting is a process of recruitment of a prospective employee with relevant experience suitable for a particular job profile, who is working elsewhere. The objective is to get the best person for the organisation. In poaching, the intention is not only to get the talented person but also to kill the competitor by offering more pay.
