We all know that it is no secret that most tech companies struggle to hire female talent. During the past several years, the tech talent gender gap has become grader as more young women are studying computer science in high school and in many different U.S universities. It is twice as likely that those women who did make it into tech end up quitting their jobs because of their male colleagues. These jobs should have a great strategy to hire more women in tech so they can keep their jobs!

Some strategies that these jobs can do are:

• Grants: Some companies look at scholarship grants which lead to wonderful results.
• Referral programs: There are companies that offer referral bonuses to any employees who refer to female candidates.
• Maternity leave benefits: Many females employees that end up having children leave their current job for five-months on maternity leave benefits. This comes with them keeping their full payment of salary, bonuses, and stock. It is often easier for companies to this rather than looking for new specialists to replace them.
• The sense of belonging: This helps attack more female employees and retain the existing one. When these females realize they are “belonging” it increases the number of female employees by 50%.
• Equal pay: It tends to be that solving equal pay problems are easier said than it is done. Companies nowadays will no longer mention the number of salary negotiations when hiring a new employee especially of the employee is a woman.

All these strategies are great ways for companies to give a good ratio for men and women on their team. One biggest strategy that I think is very important that many companies should really keep in mind is equal pay and a sense of belonging. Many women before and nowadays have struggled with equal pay and a sense of belonging. I think it is because many companies think women cannot do or see things the way men do. These companies need to stop thinking us women are not worth the try to do things as men do!
