Maggie Berry, managing director of the company, said that the majority of women in boardrooms do not want to see that introduction of quotas but would prefer women to get promoted through the recognition of merit and ability.
She suggested that the way to do this was to ensure everyone across management and hiring from chief executive middle management needs to understand the benefits of diversity.
'Progress is a slow process, but we are moving forward. With more awareness about the benefits of diverse teams, changes to legislation and more flexible working, hopefully we'll continue to see improvements when it comes to women in IT,' Ms Berry added.
Her comments come as a study by InterExec revealed that 89 per cent of senior head-hunters believe that the push to double the number of women on boards by 2015 will result in the positive discrimination of optimal candidates.
