No, this is not legal. This practice of gender-based discrimination in the hiring process is prohibited by many countries’ antidiscrimination laws.

No, this is not legal. This policy violates the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, which prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of gender when making hiring decisions.
