This notion, hiring individuals based on appearance, stems from a variety of reasons. First of all, no matter how much you want to deny it, people make assumptions about your personality based on your "looks". This is unavoidable, it is human nature. However, that does not excuse the vulgarity of it; it is still unfortunate because this judging does not always prove to be correct. For an employer, your first impression is likely to be your appearance during an interview. Here they will judge your personality, work ethics, hygienics, appropriateness, and so on. If you are hired by an employer, your image will then become a representation of the company or organization. Your appearance directly effects this image. Often, dressing in an appropriate fashion can set you apart from other candidates and make you a more positive choice for the employer. With that being said, employers should never exclusively hire someone based on their physical appearance. This can lead to sexism, bias, and inappropriate behaviour at the workplace.
