この記事はAnn Kilzerによる[A four-stage approach for hiring women on your engineering team](https://www.tokyodev.com/articles/hiring-women-on-your-engineering-team)の日本語訳です。 「チームに女性エンジニアが欲しいけど、なかなか応募がこない」という話は、日本でも私の母国であるアメリカでも、スタートアップの創業者からよく聞きます。 チーム内の性別にもっと多様性を持たせたいと同じように考えている人がいれば、ぜひこの記事を読み進めてみてください。もっと多くの女性エンジニアに興味を持ってもらい応募を検討してもらうだけでなく、実際に雇用し働き続けてもらうための戦略を紹介します。ここでの内容は、3人だけの小さな会社から2万人規模の企業まで、色々な会社で12年以上ソフトウェア・エンジニアとして私自身が学んできたことに基づいています。 それに加えて、テック業界で活躍する女性を支援する非営利団体の支部である[Women Who Code Tokyo](https://womenwhocode.com/network/tokyo)のシニアディレクターとしての経験、そして読書やメンタリングから得た学びも織り交ぜてお伝えしたいと思います。 具体的な話に入る前に、頭に入れておいてほしいのは「 完璧主義では進歩しない」ということ。アジャイルなソフトウェア開発と同じように、昨日よりもよくなることを目指し、失敗から学び、前進するのだということを心に留めておいてください。 また、この記事では主に男女のバランスに焦点を当てていますが、LGBTQIA+（ジェンダーの多様性にはノンバイナリーも含まれます）、国籍、人種、障がいの有無など、多様性においては他にも考慮すべき重要な点があるということも認識しておいてください。 ## 4段階のステップ 今より多くの女性を採用するために必要なプロセスは下記の4つのステップです。 1. 現状を評価する 2. 関心を持ってもらう 3. 採用する 4. 働き続けてもらう 女性エンジニアの採用を希望する企業の多くは、3.の採用段階の改善から着手します。一方で、社内におけるジェンダー多様性の現状を評価したり、女性にとって魅力的な会社にするための努力は後回しにしがち。そのため、改善の効果は限定的か、ほとんど見られないというのがよくあるパターンです。 では、各ステップを詳しく見ていきましょう。 ## ステップ1：現状を評価する …
