Amidst a raging global pandemic, the job crisis in India has spiked all of a sudden. The common population is in a precarious state with respect to day-to-day sustenance and survival, and is looking for opportunities to keep themselves from being pushed against the wall. In such a scenario, tech giant, Google has extended a helping hand in releasing a new app in the recruitment field, Kormo Jobs, in order to assist millions who are looking to land entry-level jobs in India. Kormo was first available in India on the Google Pay platform under “Jobs Spot” category but has been since rebranded. The company first launched Kormo Jobs in Bangladesh in 2018 and expanded it to Indonesia last year. According to Google, more than 2 million jobs have been posted on the platform by companies like Zomato and Dunzo ever since the feature went live on Google Play. The application aims to help users identify entry level opportunities, learn new skills and structure their CVs.
