Do employment agencies discriminate against men?

Most are run by women for women I think. And what about "Office Angels" How blatant does it have to be to be illegal.

1) perhaps I should have stipulated admin work (which is where most new jobs are now)

2) I dont think many men would go into "office Angels"

It is just as you suspect... AND they discriminate by AGE and RACE. It is so fekking blatant but they are untouchable. I have been in Operations Management for 35 years and even spent 15 years as a customer service DIRECTOR

I lost my job and had 1 problem after another with these bitches. I took a test for one place that was hiring 36 cust services REPS. and the told me I FAILED THE TEST!!! yeah right.

maybe because women are the better communicator. im my view most office jobs are designated to women, especially when it involves one to one interviews etc. Males are more comfortable with women, and women are comfortable with women. thats why. i wouldnt call it discriminate against men.

just apply to be a policeman , fireman or male stripper that should work

whinger.

Much discrimination continues to happen because it goes unchallenged. Of course it is discriminatory to refer to office workers as 'office angels'.

To say that one gender is more suited to a type of work is also discriminatory whether it is intended or not. Another amazing fact is that something cannot be made non discriminatory just by saying it isn't!!! LOL

If it favours anyone more than others ....it is discriminatory...end of story!

No.
Its a colour issue and always has been.

Its not the employment agencies that discriminate its the clients - the agencies are only acting on a supply and demand basis

Since when were 'angels' just female?

I don't think the angels at the pearly gates would welcome your comments.

can't men be angels??

Don't discriminate against angels.

In fact most of the Angels in Judeo-Christian lore are men.

I don't think it is discrimination on the part of the agencies.

Fact is most admin jobs and people qualified for them are women. Most people who want admin jobs are women. Most people who take the course are women.

Thats just employment trends...not discrimination.
