Odds are, if you were recruiting for [promotional ] work 90% would be outgoing and attractive young women, just like recruiting programmers will get you 90% geeky white males.
Absolutely not true. There is no shortage of male actors and models. Whatsoever. And the prettier they are, the bigger the pay delta vis-a-vis the female actors and models. Whoever is hiring booth babes is actively excluding men, and paying through the nose to do it.
- zoidb 14y agoThink you are missing the point, the women in question are not "booth babes" but women dressed in street clothes doing promotional work. My gut tells me that the pool of applicants for these jobs skews attractive female.
- rada 14y agoAnd my several years of experience that involved hiring actors and models tell me that there is an endless supply of pretty people of either gender happy to wear a variety of outfits.
- jlgreco 14y agoSure attractive males are cheaper to hire, but how does their ROR compare? I find it hard to believe they are not cheaper for a reason.
- rada 14y agoOh I agree on the ROR. I was addressing the silly notion that there is anything remotely hard about finding he-babes to do promotional work. If you are going to say, screw any moral considerations, I am just going to do what's best for my bottom line, that's fine... it's the dishonesty that I find distasteful.
