While it is discouraged to purposefully seek out workarounds to avoid hiring women or minorities, it might be beneficial to take a broader perspective when selecting candidates for potential positions. Look past the traditional "tried and true" applicants which might not include qualified female or minority candidates, and focus on assessing the qualifications of each candidate thoroughly. Take into consideration skills outside of pure experience which could benefit the overall organization's goals instead of focusing solely on gender or race -such as attitude, knowledge base/proactiveness, flexibility in working with differing personalities etc. Evaluate each individual objectively using this new perspective to gain an unbiased point of view that still meets organizational standards. Creating diversity initiatives that target specific skill sets could also help ensure that underrepresented groups are more aware and able to apply for opportunities provided by the organization 
It is best practice not to explicitly discriminate against any demographic in order to increase likelihood of success in any workplace. Keeping abreast with changes such as updated equal opportunity employment laws may also provide peace-of-mind with regards maintaining legality when bringing on board personnel from all backgrounds.  https://smallbusiness.chron.com/avoid-legally-trouble-hiring-womenminorities-company10923410.html

You should follow your company's legal guidelines for fair hiring practices, such as engaging in a nondiscriminatory hiring process, ensuring that all candidates are treated equitably, and avoiding any assumptions about an individual's gender or race. Additionally, making sure to consider qualified female and minority candidates when creating job postings and when conducting interviews can help your company diversify its workforce without the worry of running into legal trouble. Finally, being transparent about your entire hiring process can also mitigate any potential legal risk you may experience from hiring women or minorities.
