So let's put together some assumptions:

1. Company X is smart enough to never record this illegal policy in documents/email/etc.

2. The policy is verbally communicated to all recruiters and many upper managers.

3. Company X is growing and employs hundreds of recruiters.

If the recruiter turn-over at company X is similar to other companies (i.e. it's pretty high), it's only a matter of time before a recently fired recruiter talks to a lawyer or the press.

The simpler thing to do is only advertise very low-level positions and pay new hires poorly enough that only new grads will apply in the first place. Of course, then you've got to develop the folks that you hire or have a model that is predicated on just throwing large numbers of people at problems.
