This is awful and it's frustrating to see. You have a job to fill and that job needs to be filled by a person. Gender imbalance in your work place isn't something that's up to you to solve. As a company you judge candidates based on merit, not gender! Be interested in hiring good employees, and if a woman applies and she's the best fit for the position, then hire her, but don't give her a leg up over a man because she's going to change some ratio.

If you hire a woman that is 50% as capable of another male candidate, that's asinine and you're an idiot.
