Put a job on monster and see if you get any women applying - in my experience I have never had more than a handful of women applying. Build a complete team? Unlikely.

Anyone from these follow-a-cv-through-HR-to-hire apps got actual stats on application ratios by gender?

I have to admit I never stopped to look at why (the headlong rush perhaps) - most women I knew in IT had come up through the ranks in that company.

And now I think I should look at what happened - I want to know how to get 50/50 applications let alone actual hires.

But sorry. I reject the idea you could easily build a (qualified or even strong junior) team from women only by putting out an ad on a bog standard job site

It seems to take a lot more than that and it may be a mystery why
