If you cannot find (female) candidates for an opening, maybe it is time to re-evaluate the jobs you are offering, and how you are doing this.

I agree. HR is constantly trying to train managers to write more inclusive job descriptions. I also wonder how many female candidates are lost in pre-screening.
