If the person satisfies your firm's initial hiring requirements such that they are sitting in front of you, yes. Woman, minority, whatever. That's my approach. Give them preference. And that really just means that non-minority men have to absolutely shine in order to overcome that preference (or the minority or woman has to clearly be wrong for the position). That's how it works 95% of the time in the opposite direction.
