This is a gender diversity report, but all the women in the pics are white. Diversity is very hard because our biases are so unconscious. Good luck with the work, it's important, hopefully we can bring these unconscious biases to consciousness.

@barbara_chambers Thank you for the question!
The goal of the statistics is to shine a light on the difference between the number of male and female software engineers in the United States. There is a pronounced gender gap that grows as you look at more senior-level positions. With this data companies can create more informed hiring initiatives and diversity programs. It can also incentivize companies to recruit more female software engineers from STEM fields and offer more managerial training to women currently employed as individual contributors.
Hi Everyone!
My name is Ilias and I am the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Celential.ai, an AI-powered recruiting solution that bridges talent and opportunities. For Women’s History Month, we felt the need to call attention to the gender gap in tech by using our machine learning technology to see how women are represented in the critical field of software engineering.
We compiled a report from our proprietary Talent Graph, which maps 5M+ technical talent across North America.
Some questions you can expect to be answered:
- What percentage of software engineers in the U.S. are women? How does that number change as the seniority of a software engineering position increases?
- Which big tech companies are pushing meaningful change for female software engineers? Which aren’t?
- Why are so few software engineers women?
- How can you support the women in technical roles at your organization?
I hope this report is valuable for informing your diversity hiring initiatives — let us know what you think and if you have any questions about expanding the gender diversity on your engineering team. Thanks for reading!
Ilias, Celential.ai Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
@ilias_beshimov @katerina_kurshina Totally agreed. Gender bias needs to be resolved not only in tech but also non-tech hiring.
@ilias_beshimov @katerina_kurshina What do you mean exactly when you say "not so introverted"?
@katerina_kurshina Really appreciate your support! As you said, women bring so much value to the technical teams, yet they are largely underrepresented. It is our goal to help companies realize the gender gap and take actions to remedy it.
@katerina_kurshina @amartya_bhargava Absolutely! We hope to provide more insights for non-tech domains in our future reports!
This is quite useful compilation of information on diversity hiring initiatives. Because we believe that ensuring diversity in the workplace is critical, we at Hirequotient have developed AI-powered skill assessments to screen candidates based on their on-the-job abilities and eliminate human bias from the equation.
Because of the objective nature of the process, we were also able to assist BCG in reducing the gender gap by 20% and increasing diversity. capable of closing the gender gap by 20%. Check out our latest product launch on 4th of April, subscribe here : https://www.producthunt.com/upco...
Good job Ilias for highlighting the issue. Darren you are right biases are so unconscious because the seeds are put in our minds at a very young age and we carry on that impression hidden somewhere deep in our minds even when we grow old.
@ksenijaluskina Thanks for your support! It is an issue affecting everyone - men and women. Happy to do my part to call for more attention.
