After laying off roughly 3% of its workers, popular food delivery app Zomato is looking for various professionals.

Who is Eligible for Zomato Jobs?

The Zomato co-founder advised the candidate to disregard work-life balance for one of the positions. Goyal is looking for the CEO's position of Chief of Staff, and he expects the applicant to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"As Chief of Staff to one of our CEOs (Zomato, Blinklt, Hyperpure), you will be a force multiplier and a mini-CEO for the company. "You will push broad goals throughout the enterprise to affect outcomes and maintain momentum," Goyal said in his article. "This is a 24-hour job, and the typical employee perspective of "work-life balance" will not work," the Zomato creator said in a blog post.

Zomato is looking for over 800 roles, such as product managers, engineers, and growth managers. “Hello there - Zomato has about 800 positions vacant across these five roles. Please let them know if you know somebody who would be a good fit for any of these jobs,” said Goyal in the post on the Zomato jobs.

This particular post has earned a lot of criticism, and is being widely discussed as a healthy work life balance is essential for employees to give their best performance. Several netizens are of the view that it was highly unfair to expect employees to give up on their family in order to be eligible for Zomato jobs. Goyal also responded to the post saying there was no surety against being fired.

It expanded its overseas operations in numerous countries in 2012, including the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Qatar, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and South Africa.
