One day it's a covert statement to a mother returning to work after maternity leave. Another day it's a lingering gaze at an employee enjoying a culturally rich meal. These microaggressions (or sometimes macroaggressions) can take an employee from a confident, high-performer to one that feels insecure being themselves at work. Your employees engage with people with different ideas and feel most comfortable and valued when they can work without losing their cultural, racial, and gender identity. While most employers know this, why have workplace racism and sexism often been neglected?

The Effects of Workplace Racism and Sexism

Employers must address workplace racism and sexism to create safe and inclusive work environments. Educate and nurture your current employees, and aim to recruit and diversify your workforce to reduce racism and sexism in the workplace. Post a free job on Get to start building a more diverse team!

As the job market remains highly competitive, we have seen a surge in "rage applying." This is when candidates apply to multiple jobs, often without considering whether they are truly interested in the role. Rage applying goes hand-in-hand with quiet quitting. Often, employees want to entertain the thoughts and feelings of leaving their job, but they aren't necessarily serious about leaving yet. Meanwhile, other employees engaging in this trend are actually trying to find a better role. As a recruiter, it can be hard to identify who are the real applicants in a sea full of quiet quitters, but understanding rage applying and identifying red flags will certainly help.

When Rage Applying Strikes: How to Identify Unserious Candidates

Rage applying is a surge in job candidates applying to multiple jobs without considering if they are interested. Employers can identify who is serious about the role by looking for red flags such as generic job applications, inconsistencies, and lack of preparation.
