Improve Gender Representation in Your Candidate Pools with These Diversity Features

LinkedIn Recruiter recently rolled out features to help recruiters and hiring managers build a more diverse pool of candidates and improve their diversity efforts.

These new features include:

• Diversity Nudges – If gender representation in a given talent pool is unbalanced, a notification will pop up to let you know the Male/Female ratio of that search.
• A dedicated company culture and values section – Organisations can add a dedicated section to their Company Page highlighting their commitments in areas such as DEI, Environmental Sustainability, Social Impact, Career Growth and Learning, and Work-Life Balance.?
• Free learning paths?– LinkedIn Learning have unlocked free learning paths to support companies' understanding of DEI, reach their DEI goals, and create more equitable and inclusive hiring practices.?

What is Quiet Quitting?

The concept has been around for a while, but now it has a name. Quiet Quitting is doing the bare minimum and not going "above and beyond" any of your specific work duties.

This notion popped off recently among Gen Z workers, particularly after a Tik Tok went viral where a man explained what it is and how it goes against 'hustle culture'.

“You are still performing your duties but you’re no longer subscribing to the hustle culture mentality that work has to be your life."

While we favour work-life balance and healthy boundaries, this kind of 'this much and no more' attitude feels lacklustre and skewed towards negativity.

At the end of the day, we all need people around us who are charged up and inspired to succeed at what they do.

If you've spent a second time on LinkedIn in the last week, you'll be familiar with the trend of crying CEOs.

His post has sparked controversy because despite being intended as an emotional look from the top down at the effect of mass layoffs, many argue that it came across as tone-deaf.

What do you think? Intention aside, is this kind of emotional content something you'd like to see more of on LinkedIn or do you think it should err on the side of more professional?
