Hi Guys

I hope you can help. We are having a bit of a debate in the office and need to clarify a point.
As far as I am aware, I thought i was illegal for us to advertise any job saying, "at least 2 years experience required for this role." Or to advertise a role as a "senior consultant" if that is the actual title of the role.
Can someone please help to clarify?
