I've interviewed over 200 applicants... three or four were women and like all but a few of the 200 applicants they were dreadfully unqualified. I guess that is why we have a 100% male company now at 10 employees. I wish this were different, I really do. Give me a 50/50 gender company and I would be a happy man. Sadly from where I am sitting it does not even seem remotely possible.
I'm thinking we need to fix social stigmas against female engineers at a much lower level.
