flesh-peddler

Sells human services

A flesh-peddler is someone who trades in human bodies—typically a pimp, a talent agent, or a recruiter.

The term carries a cynical edge, reducing people to commodities: Hollywood flesh-peddlers looking for the next star, a flesh-peddler running girls out of a motel.

The word implies exploitation regardless of whether the trade is legal.
