Yes and no. It depends on the company. Take a company such as Apple for instance, where ~50% of their customers are female. It makes sense to hire a lot of women, it will probably result in better results as they better understand female customers.
In other cases, say engineering where you are just designing a product to client specifications for the lowest price, it makes no sense to hire based off of gender, race, etc.

Diversity still ian't a good plan. The marketing dept for Apple wants women and men, but no reason to search for specific ethnicities.
