It's much easier to make a study comparing women to men than one comparing "low self-confidence people" to "highly-confident people". Helping in the form of advice to the job seekers: as Mike said, the advice applies equally to the men in the same situation. Helping in the form of making employers aware, so they can optimize their job descriptions: It incidentally helps men of low self-confidence too. Notice, tough, that being socialized into assuming a requirement is hard instead of "not really" isn't the same as not being confident. And that some commenters here are defending that a candidate that lacks the confidence to even apply for a job isn't worth their time considering.
