Too many females in HR?
I’ve been interviewing lately and ALL the HR contacts have been female. Don’t we need equality here too? Why isn’t there a lot of noise on this? Is it because of TC? Curious to know. TC: $100K
One of the most stupid things tech heavy companies do. Women design recruitment processes for mostly men to apply for IT jobs. Thus recruitment process is never logical or uncomplicated.
So you want to work on HR?
I've seen the same at most jobs I've had, where HR and Talent Acquisition are mostly female. Even head hunters and recruiters seem to be mostly female. This is a generalization, but men tend to go towards jobs where they work on and build something, while women tend to go towards jobs where they work on or build relationships. My company is mostly female, from the C Suite to the store associates, even in IT. However when you look at the engineering teams in IT, or even the building maintenance teams, it's almost all men.
Googles damore claimed women prefer this sort of jobs
Great! So maybe more men prefer programming. I don’t believe there is a 50/50 male/female preference for programming and that is why there is a discrepancy not some male dominance agenda
If you believe damore yes that would be an explanation
If women prefer working with people - why this should be a problem. The problem is that people think there are too many men in IT.

Women are not objects.
Diversity is a one way street
I was a man in HR for a while and I’ve asked about this. Men just don’t tend to go for HR roles. The money sucks. I literally couldn’t tell you a reason why a person should should work in HR instead of doing something else. It’s not really an emotional thing in tech companies, because tech companies are so large that most HR people aren’t directly dealing with employees in their work. We mostly design processes and manage programs and it’s comparatively small team that handles employee relations.
That said, I think people that know how to evaluate and develop talent, and who understand the human needs of employees, will become very important as AI takes a bigger role in the workplace. That sounds like an interesting thing to work on. But it’s not worth years of garbage pay when the grass is greener in literally any other field.
HR being mostly female actually helps balance the company’s ratio as a whole ...
