What is Kormo jobs?

Kormo Jobs is an online job-matching and career development service. It was created with the help of Google's in-house Area 120 incubator. The app initially released in Bangladesh in 2018 and was soon launched in Indonesia the following year.

While Google is set to bring the full-fledged job search experience to India in the form of a standalone Android app, the company had already introduced a feature in its Google Pay app, where the Indian users had the ability to search for entry-level and white-collar jobs through a dedicated section called ‘Jobs Spot.’

Google also stated earlier that several employers such as Zomato and Dunzo have used its Google Pay integration feature to post more than 2 million verified jobs on the service. And while that sounds like a massive number, the company hasn’t provided any data on the number of users who applied for the positions or were able to secure employment with any of these companies.
