Are you being sarcastic? This would be expensive, and is that how you are going to work with them?

I know that HN and the world in general is on a kick about equality of everything, but when your interviewee wears 100 gallons of perfume to the interview that is a problem I have to address even before they start working.

I absolutely think that the work can have objective measures, but back in reality much of work is not based around how good the candidate fits the job description exactly as described in the requirements.

Include personal hygiene as a criteria that you are interested in then.
That is a somewhat fair response, that I be honest in what I ask for.

However, it seems like at some point these basics are societal norms, and I am going to ridiculous lengths to specify what I want for a position.

Personal hygiene is pretty much the criteria for ANY job.
