TikTok Begins Hiring in India, Despite its Unlifted Ban in the Country: Two Job Openings at its Gurgaon Office Listed on LinkedIN

A few days back, reports claiming the accessibility of TikTok’s official website in India were shared online and ever since then, social media platforms are buzzing with the news pointing to the possible comeback of this app that was banned back in 2020. Following this, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology shared its clarification on the matter, stating that the Government of India hasn’t yet lifted the TikTok ban in the country, and that the app still remains banned. Amidst these, TikTok has begun hiring in India, and has posted two job openings on LinkedIN to its Gurgaon office.

Here’s more about the latest update.

TikTok – Now Hiring in India?

Yes, while recent reports had suggested that the updates concerning the accessibility of TikTok in India is false and incorrect, China’s ByteDance-owned app has started to hire in the country as mentioned above. The job openings that are posted on LinkedIN to the company’s Gurgaon office are for two positions: ‘Content Moderator – Bengali Speaker – Trust and Safety’ and ‘Wellbeing Partnership and Operations Lead, Trust, and Safety’. For one of the positions, it can also be spotted that the company is reviewing the applicants.

This new update again suggests the possible comeback of TikTok, however on checking, as of today, the official TitTok website still is down and the app is nowhere to be seen on Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store. Probably, we might be coming across more updates in the coming days, and these could be revealing even more details and clarity on the matter. Do stay tuned until then.
