In terms of talent pool, I agree that there is competition in the market for talent, however it is not the "revolving door" that one might think.  As the head of Human Resources for KEEN and formerly in HR with adidas and Salomon Sports (I have been in the industry for 10+ years), I believe each organizaton has a unique organizational culture, that becomes the most important factor for people in choosing an employer.  Overall, compensation between the companies is level, so that is not a major motivator, unless the job seeker is experiencing a significant promotion in the move.  Which brings up another point.  It can be a challenge for smaller companies entering the market because they need to keep up with the big companies to hire the best talent.  I am happy to comment on air...
