yes I wondered about that too, isn't it illegal? The website is a jobs website aimed at mums who are looking for part time work to fit around their kids but even so, surely the job should still be advertised as being open to anyone who's interested

Over the years, most of my jobs have been commission only. I like it. Granted, it can sometimes be stressful, and it takes a particular mindset, but if you can get the transactions required the money can be good.

Not going to mention the discriminatory requirements in this job ad though lol

Hi All,

I think there has been some confusion here we are not looking to recruit just mothers we will recruit anyone who can do the work regardless of gender or race. We did an advert with 2 to 3 days for commission only. However that advert was not successful and I can see why now! We were never looking to recruit a set number of people either so I do not know where that came from.

I can tell you now we are looking to recruit people who can work from home at rate of £9 per hour if this is something of interest please feel free to drop a cv over to sales@spitfirealternativesolutions.co.uk.

Kindest Regards

Spitfire

No you can't as it would fall foul of the sex discrimination legislation.
