Here's my approach, which may or may not be of interest. All CVs are read by me -- presuming it is my budget -- and one other from the team; that team member is at liberty to discuss a CV with another if they wish, but ultimately it is thei

When I started out, about 30 years ago, the male/female ratio in IT was about 60:40. But I presume that men were also a larger percentage of the total workforce at that time, at least in "professional" roles. The first time I really noticed

Hard to evaluate, though, as they don't publish any pricing. Not that I could find. Suspicious minds might conclude: What have you got to hide? Also, it's disingenuous to claim rates lower than the competition without publishing them.
