The low representation of women in the tech sector has been one of the biggest issues of 2015. It’s a huge, important issue with a range of contributing factors.

Companies of all sizes are under pressure to increase diversity in their teams. Particularly in their tech teams.

But how can they go about doing this?

We don’t claim to be experts on the issue of diversity in tech. But we are seeing a huge increase in the number of companies looking to proactively identify and attract a more diverse range of candidates. This is an area we do know something about.

When a company has a very specific type of candidate they want to hire, it should influence every step of their hiring process. One of the most important steps happens at the very beginning, and it’s called sourcing.

Sourcing is the process of identifying the specific characteristics of your ideal candidate, then finding as many people who meet that criteria as possible.

At RecruitLoop, we’ve created a very specific sourcing algorithm and process to help companies do this, anywhere in the world. We call it Sourcing as a Service.

Women in Tech FAQ

1. What percentage of the tech industry is female?

   26.7% of the tech industry is female.

This means that as of 2022, just over one-quarter of the tech industry is female, while females make up almost half of the general workforce in the U.S.

These two issues go hand in hand because when there is no one leading the way, it’s more difficult for individual women to forge their own career paths.

Male workers account for the vast majority of the tech industry, so being a woman in tech is a point of distinction.
