Not really. Before Naxx my guild have recruited a lot of good players in pretty sub-par equip and geared them. You see, the problem is that person in anything worse than T2 is almost worthless in Naxx. This is very much obvious for tanks and dps classes, less for healers, but poor geared healer still won't be able to sustain 7 minute healing on Patch for example. And if the guild is serios about Naxx and not uber hardcore (like DnT with 7 raids a week), they will have very litle time to dedicate for anything else (1 raid day for non-progression raids).
On the other hand, the problem of top guilds feeding on lesser guild is indeed exists. However i wouldn't say that person willing to quit an old guild is not a quality member.
Ill give an example of my server - my guild is top guild, Cthun/Ouro killed and 5 bosses in Naxx. There is one runner up - Ouro killed, 3 bosses in Naxx. 4 other guilds have killed Twins and shitloads have killed Nef. There is even more lesser guilds that have killed Rag recently and started to progress in BWL.
Our potenial recruit is somebody from the guilds that have killed Nef. They can't advance further because either their management is shitty (one guild is a running joke for this, since GM and all officers are relatives in RL, thus getting called "a family"), or because they have a dead weight of shitty players. If they have T2 quality gear they probably spent enough time in the guild to realize that there is little to no potential in a guild (some guilds have been stuck on Huhu for 4 months).
