When it comes to internal recruiting this has been mostly true at every company I've worked for or interviewed with for decades.

Male representation in internal recruiting orgs is maybe 20% at best. Probably closer to 10%.

In regular bog-standard (non-outsourced-overseas) HR organizations, men are unicorns.

No harm meant, many/most companies I've dealt recently with have young women doing their recruiting.
I suppose calling them “girls” seems very strange to me, presumably they’re all adults.
It’s colloquially
And often seem to be selected according to Western "beauty standards".
