I think there are a lot of components, you’re right about (many) hiring managers/HR managers recruiting for a limited profile.

I’m not that keen on hiring based on a quota, I think it undermines the promoted woman’s credibility. Put simply, I had to think I’d been promoted on the basis of my gender.

However I think companies can look at building training and opportunities for women specifically. So that when there is an promotion there are quality candidates of both genders.

It’s a tough question though.

You’re definitely right – women are not that self-confident as their male colleagues when it comes to ask for a promotion or a pay-rise, this kind of modesty is not advantageous if you want to climb the ladder. However, I’m firmly convinced that managers or HR reps prefer hiring personalities which resemble their own personality. And as they often are male…
The Glass Ceiling do still exist – the question is how to overcome it. What do you think about a quota?

I once somebody suggest a nice “2nd Murphy’s Law”: that’s when everything that cannot go wrong starts to go wrong as well. Quite curious what Mrs Murphy would have said about that guy…
