Thank you for asking this question. Rocky's input is very good.  Here is additional information from NCWIT.org which works on checklists and best practices for creating gender parity in technology.  This will add to what Rocky provides below.

Well, (and only if it's true),  letting the job seekers know you have
 *  an open, collaborative environment
 *  Open door policy with regards to work, questions, issues, etc
 *  Family friendly (meaning the company/team/management works with employees to deal with all family related emergencies such as sick family members, school demands, etc)
 *  Diverse, friendly, open, supportive team
 *  looking for problem solvers

That's some of the stuff *I* look for.  But I also look for honesty, so if you don't have all those things yet, say "looking to build" that collaborative, open, diverse work environment

Hello, Women of OpenStack!

I could use some help.  We will be looking to hire one or two OpenStack Operations Engineers soon, and I want to make sure that our postings are inclusive and attractive to current and future women of OpenStack.  Does anyone have any tips or reference job descriptions that might help me ensure that we are attracting great female candidates?

Cheers,
James
