Must not prefer attractive women
London recruitment firm Matching Models under fire over jobs for 'attractive' women and specifying bra size
A high-end London recruitment firm serving the wealthy was under fire today for advertising jobs only for “attractive” women - and even specifying what their bra size should be.
Matching Models specialises in providing companies and private clients with candidates for jobs including “hospitality staff, receptionists, flight attendants, as well as sales and promotional staff worldwide.”
In a statement on its website, it says: “It is almost politically incorrect to request someone to work for you that is both attractive as well as professionally equipped with the right set of skills.
“However, our company understands the importance of having the right people representing your company, because after all, first impressions count.”
A job for a PA advertised on the company’s website, insists candidates have “a classic look” and “brown long hair with b-c cup.”
The position, working for “a well known flamboyant aristocratic figure,” says applicants should have a “a bubbly personality and flexible approach” and “classy and immaculate presentation.”
It commands a salary of between £110,000 and £140,000 and also involves working on a private Learjet as a flight attendant.
But Sam Smethers, chief executive of leading women’s equality campaign group the Fawcett Society, criticised the approach. She said: “It is advisable and also makes good business sense to seek the best person for the job.
“Employers can take positive action measures to recruit under-represented groups, but targeting ‘beautiful and attractive’ just stereotypes women.”

So instead, not mention attractive or cup size and just reject anyone not meeting the standards as "not a good fit". Doesn't that just waste the time of the persons interviewing? It's better to be up front about what the employer wants.
P.C. nonsense is getting out of hand the sniveling little snowflakes need to melt away
When you pay enough you get to choose exactly what you want. It does not take much to meet the maximum qualifications as a flight attendant on a private Learjet so the "most highly qualified" argument is specious.

They ARE seeking the best person for the job. THEIR job.
"Employers can take positive action measures to recruit under-represented groups, but targeting ‘beautiful and attractive’ just stereotypes women."
They stereotype themselves and each other constantly with makeup, push-up bras and jeans, bra and pants pushup filling, breast and lip augmentation, facelifts, tummy tucks and - labia reduction surgery, presumably for those going for the casting couch.
If a man simply stuffs a sock in his pants he's laughed at. Need I say more?
Typical that liberal pantiwastes are always finding something to whine about their never ever satisfied
Fact is that modelling agencies, for example, don't hire fuglies or downs' syndrome people. The "Fawcett" Society - AKA Farrah Fawcett (Millennials please look her up) should know better.
