To still answer you on this -- we don't differentiate in the hiring or compensation process between men and women, but I review the numbers from time to time. And we don't actually seem to have any issue with this, without any specific effort.
That makes me wonder what the results of studies based on processes closer to ours would say. Our numbers are not large enough to be representative, but one unique aspect of our compensation process is that it doesn't have _any_ human decision element for a specific application, thus there is no possibility of gender bias on our side in the determination of compensation. There is still the self-bias on the candidate side, but I wonder if it is helping, to know that there won't be a judgement of worth, only the application of a predetermined rule that applies identically to everyone.
And thanks for the kudos, I'm glad you appreciate the concepts -- we put a lot of heart in it. :)
