Want to work while naked? Apply to this company.

I also have to wonder if he might not be laying himself wide open for a sexual harassment lawsuit. I don't know the law in the UK, but he's openly stated that he wants to hire women so he can look at them naked.

If nothing else, the guy didn't think this strategy through well at all.

[cinema guy]

There are laws in the UK that prevent discrimmination based on gender, race, religion, disability and age.

So if you were working with one particular nude coworker and got a stiffy, would that count as sexual harrassment?

now, he did say he has a preference for females, but he also willing to hire males for at least one area of the company:

Those in Nude-House.com will be a company entirely composed of Nudists - males and females - who work selling software solutions to their customers' problems

as long as he is willing to hire males in at least one capacity, he's actually covering himself () from the "discrimination" lawsuits;

also due to his directness about the fact that he'd rather see a naked female, than a male, one would have to have a really good case for "sexual harassment" you kinda know what you're getting into if you apply for this job, as i figure the interview would be in the nude;

[Sheldonrs]

Yikes! These two are the fist things that occurred to me.

Talk about leaving yourself wide open! LOL!!!

As for the worry about the chairs, most nudists, just like good space travellers, always carry a towel. They sit on the towel, not directly on the chair. Protects the chair from anything that may leak out of them, and protects them from what may have leaked out of someone else.

Leave it to Sheldonrs.

I don't know if that would protect him, he's still saying he wants to hire women to work naked because he likes to look at them. The laws usually state that preference for one gender over the other must be based on something job-related, such as hiring only women as ladies' restroom attendants, or hiring topless dancers. There's nothing about coding that requires one to be naked and no reason to give preference to one gender over the other except for his personal tastes.

Now, if he makes a point to try for an equal number of male and female employees, that might allow him to get around a possible discrimination complaint. IMO, of course. I am not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV!

The website says he will be conducting interviews at his flat, which strikes me as a bit sleazy.

I thought this kind of stuff only worked in pornos!

[cinema guy]

Maybe the company is a cover for a porn film production.

I smell sexual harassment lawsuits coming.... not just against the boss, but potentially against employees too. Eyes do tend to wander, and what if one employee feels the other employee was looking at them inappropriately? What if comments are made that are found offensive by the commentee or someone overhearing them (even if simply misinterpreted)? This is a business environment full of landmines. OK, "TRUE nudists" will say that there's "nothing sexual about it", but what's to guarantee that ONLY "TRUE nudists" will apply or be hired? And even if someone does fall under that category, is there any guarantee they will NEVER view one of their coworkers sexually? Not a good idea... unless the laws in the UK are extremely more relaxed than here in the US.

Seems like the website has the answers to a lot of our questions:

On Menstruation:

For females - no clothes means almost all the time the rule is no clothes, except for that part of the day when your period starts - and then you can wear panties and pads or tampons. Then for the rest of your period you do not come into work, but you can still prepare lists of possible customers from home to contact later when you return to work. When your period is about to end, if you can recognise this, then you can wear panties when you return and remove them later in the day, or else take a further day off.

He also says that things to cover seats are provided. Use them until you need a new one or until the end of the day, then drop them into the cleaners' hamper.

On Potential Sexual Discrimination/Harassment:

To cover this shortage of working days we will employ more girls then men so that approximately the matching number of males and females can be working all the time.

Each of you - male or female - will behave decorously and with respect to all the others.

So he seems to at least have lawyers telling him how to cover up his butt...figuratively, of course.

That being said, the website and the language used on the website both seem less than professional. In several places he calls his employees "our girls and boys" which isn't really sucky, just a little weird for me.

Just one last point, which was mentioned before (emphasis added):

I interview some applicants on the phone and, if they are successful in that, I then invite some to my flat for a nude interview. I can then see if they are really nudists and have the right attitudes.

All I can really say to that is

[telecom_goddess]

So if you get to take a week off every single month because of a period....do you get paid for that? Cause not everyone is blessed with the short 3 day period here folks.....

[Kiwi]

The whole business seems dodgey all round. It is a comission only outbound sales, you must sell 5 of his systems before you can even work at the office, interviews at his flat... so he can figure out your "attitude". Right

I think I have a decent idea of what this attitude test is:
