Yes you can, but for VFR ops only. There's some gray area type of clause where you can still fly IFR, but departure and destination must be VMC etc.....from what I understand. All the air-tour guys operate this way too.

Vfr
My first 135 job was flying VFR passenger ops in a 310. I had less than 1200 tt, so I was able to get the VFR ride. The ride at the FSDO was actually an IFR ride, because you had to demonstrate you could handle unforcast IMC. I did most of the ride, including approaches, under the hood.
It was great, because I was able to get up to 1200 hours quickly.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this section, no certificate holder may use a person, nor may any person serve, as pilot in command of an aircraft under VFR unless that person --
(1) Holds at least a commercial pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings and, if required, an appropriate type rating for that aircraft; and
(2) Has had at least 500 hours time as a pilot, including at least 100 hours of cross-country flight time, at least 25 hours of which were at night; and
(3) For an airplane, holds an instrument rating
And yes, this is true. They are hiring VFR only guys.
