It might be useful to point out since this is an internantional forum:

This is very different from northern Europe. Here if I help recruit a male engineer I get a fat check.

If I help recruit a female engineer I get an equally fat check + smiles and possibly mentions, because leaders have this as a KPI.

So for me this all seems really weird but I guess it looks a bit different in the US.

I'll also admit that I once helped a foreign woman get a job in my office (she was cleaning, but had a degree in IT and had the skills), but this is > 10 years ago and she wasn't fluent in the local language.
