At times I find the gender balance in our profession disappointing. Sending a firm invitation to 9 guys. We need better hiring practices

It is what it is. I don't think there is a hiring bias as much as it is a product of personal interests. Same reason there are way more women in nursing and elementary teaching.

Why do we need better hiring practices? Is it because no women were made offers? How many qualified women applied? Maybe the 9 most qualified PEOPLE were actually hired. The assumption that hiring practices need to be changed because no women were hired, is ignorant without knowing all the other facts associated with the current practices and the pool of applicants.

Read some Jordan Peterson. Most of this is self-selection. My wife, the most competent person I know and 200% my superior, wouldn’t touch this career with a ten foot pool.
