Okay, so should you pick a female candidate who is estimated to be 1% worse than a male candidate? That answer just sidesteps the whole question.
I think the best candidate should always be chosen, as that's fair.
EDIT:
>"You need to be aiming for a 50/50 men-to-women ratio."
That's seems sexist. Since the majority of tech students and tech graduates still are male, the non-biased ratio shouldn't be 50/50.
