Bickey Russell, Regional Manager and Operations Lead, Kormo Jobs, Google, said:
"In the wake of the pandemic, the jobs landscape stands altered, with demand shifting to new services that require different sets of skills and experience. Businesses of all sizes face the challenges of the new normal, while job seekers are having to adapt to this shift quickly. We remain committed to contributing towards helping Indians find credible and promising starts to their careers with Kormo Jobs."
Last year, Google had launched Jobs, an employment and career development tool designed for entry-level positions in emerging markets. Since then, the Jobs Spot on Google Pay has connected millions of job seekers with opportunities across industries.
Jobs Spot will now be rebranded to Kormo Jobs "to create a consistent experience for users".
"We will continue to invest in it with new features and jobs so users can continue to benefit from its convenience," Google added.
