Recruiter told me job didn’t continue my interview process because I am not a girl. Is this even legal?

My recruiter called me and said that one of the companies I interviewed for didn’t continue with my interview process. She advised me the two reasons they gave is 1. They are looking to diversify their environment and are looking to hire a female candidate (both people I interviewed with were female). The other was I didn’t have experience selling in their vertical. (I do software sales) Isn’t this illegal to not get hired because of gender? I don’t really care about not getting this job but I was just shocked that was the reason.
