What is the % of women in your company?
There are more and more female professionals on producthunt, although we're still extremely far from gender equality. Let's answer to this poll to get a more profound look.
(Please also comment how many people are there in the organization, and if there are female cofounders)

We strongly believe in equal employment opportunity, but usually, more males apply for a job, so there is a higher percentage of them.
@qudsia_ali This was also the case for the last company I worked for, both the Data Scientist Lead & Engineering Leads really wanted to balance the teams diversity, but, in the case of gender, there were much fewer applicants that were female.
We have a bout 200 people in our agency. Never cared to do the gender stats. Although I believe more than 40% of the writers and editors are females. Also the content manager (top person after the founders) is a female.
If you are saying that gender equality means the company should have 50% males and 50% females, allow me to disagree with you.
I believe gender equality is offering the "same" opportunity to everyone. The winner is the one who is better qualified regardless what their gender is.
I would not want to miss out on a more qualified female just because of her gender, and vice versa.
@hassanoski of course, gender equality doesn't meen strict 50% M/F ratio. But it's still important to estimate the % of women, since this gives a certain undertanding of what the company life looks like.
Our agency has 80% women working with us and a female founder (we're not biased towards men; it just happens naturally that our corporate culture is closer to women).
Happy to discuss :)
