From personal experience: Don't hire just to tick boxes. It will cause resentment, insecurity and reinforce stereotypes.

Go out of your way to find underrepresented people (small town girls?) but raise the hiring bar slightly to accomodate for the interviee process error bars (if you're looking at a larger sample with a lower average using an error prone measuring device you'll get more people over the bar due to measurement error).
