That said, the overwhelming majority of people I end up training are young white males. To therefore suggest that you have an infinitely greater chance of being selected if you call yourself Linda, instead of Fred, is simply rubbish.
The only way to find out is to take the number of male applicants vs the number of males actually hired, and compare it to the number of female applicants vs the number of females hired.
Just saying I train more males than females is totally irrelevant.
