No.  What is ethical to you, is not necessarily ethical to the rest of the 
world.  Legality doesn't necessarily have anything to do with ethics 
either.  Also, just because it is 'tolerated' doesn't make it either 
ethical or legal.

That makes no sense.  A head hunter is not an employee of the company.  If 
an employee induced another colleague from a previous employment to come to 
his new place of employment, why would a head hunter be involved?

Of course, but that is a different issue.
