I like the idea, +1 for originality. Just some thoughts though: Not that I have much experience from the employer standpoint, but the fact that I have to keep paying (even if it's $50) each time, will always leave a constant reminder that I'm spending money. That, coupled with the fact that I'm not sure what quality of candidates you'll be showing me (and I KNOW how bad headhunters can be trying to cram someone where…
One idea: Offer a "honey pot" service to companies to see if their employees are trying to be poached.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Cool idea! The biggest risk of volunteering yourself to get poached is that your company finds out BEFORE you get poached. Everyone loses :-( If you block people at the same company, that could be a good way around it for sure. Do you think salary is the only thing that motivates people wanting to leave? Ancillary benefits to the job may be greater motivators for current employees to switch jobs, no?
Since the emails are anonymous (e.g. q8XR1BB2TokDXslewseDlGc9E@pleasepoach.me) and your name isn't provided, there's no way your company can find out if you're on the site--unless it's just you and your co-founder :(

$50 is really nothing for recruiting.

How do I know if this site is active or not? This site looks to me like a proof of concept. I mean the creators are testing out if it would work based on the number of registrations. May be they would be working on the actual promise now. This could be a classic launch first and iterate example.
Great idea. Filtering linkedin contacts who'd like to be poached. I'd like to sign up but I can't work out how! The login link doesn't take me to a register link. The big red poach button seems to do nothing.
We built this with the hope that people will find the jobs they truly want. Let us know what your thoughts are. Most importantly, have fun with it ;)
clever idea, but it sort of sounds like a way to find bad apples who any company would be glad to have poached. One idea: Offer a "honey pot" service to companies to see if their employees are trying to be poached.
