This doesn't make sense to me. If we say that there is a systemic bias against women being hired in tech jobs, it follows that women will be systemically excluded from those jobs even when they apply, or may leave industry after experiencing discrimination. It follows then that there may very well be a large pool of untapped talent that, by definition, will not be tapped by existing business without explicit attention paid to the fact that discrimination against hiring women is happening.
