Apple poaching employees from Samsung: Report

It appears that Apple is poaching talent from Samsung including technicians and engineers in signal- and visual-processing management, as per a new report.

South Korean publication The Korea Times, cites unnamed Samsung officials as saying that Apple is poaching Samsung's experienced technicians and engineers in fields like signal- and visual-processing management. The experts are lured by 'highly-competitive benefits and large annual paychecks' besides greater independence, as per the officials.

Apple is also hiring Samsung employees from the field of battery technology as the company is reportedly working on an electric car, as per the report.

"As the electric vehicle business is a new one, Apple needs patents and experts in battery technology. Top human resources firms have been approaching Samsung's battery experts, individually, and I think such human exchange moves are a win-win for both," said the Samsung official.
Although Apple and Samsung are rivals, the Cupertino giant relies on Samsung for displays, processors and DRAM chips.
