Owners of a tech company are complaining that LinkedIn has wrongly pulled their ads over them featuring attractive women.

Toptal CEO Taso Du Val says that the women featured in the photo above are actual engineers working with the company. He also mentions other ads, including less attractive employees, remained on the site.

LinkedIn spokesman Fenot Tekle has told the Daily Dot that the removal was an error and part of a "standard review process." They have placed the ads back on the site starting on Saturday.

Apparently, many users had complained about the female staffers in the ads not being engineers.

Other users commented on the fact that they did not look appropriate for the jobs advertised in the posting.
