The alternative sources in the post still aren’t at gender parity, though they do show a higher percentage of women. If you can hire equal amounts of men and women from those sources then you’ll move your metric up, but you won’t get to 50%.
To hit 50% when the hiring pool is less than 50% women would require women to get accepted at a higher rate than men.
