Zee Entertainment

1. Application and resume screening

Candidates typically apply through Jobaaj or the Zee Entertainment careers page, and recruiters shortlist profiles based on relevant media, content or technology experience. A portfolio of published or produced work strengthens creative applications.

2. Skills or aptitude test

For content, digital and technical roles, candidates typically complete a writing, editing, or technical skills test relevant to the function. Business and marketing roles instead take a case-style aptitude assessment.

3. Creative or technical interview

A senior programming, content or technology lead evaluates creative judgement, storytelling ability, or technical skills depending on the role. Candidates are often asked to critique a recent show or streaming feature.

4. Panel or portfolio review

Candidates for creative roles may present a portfolio or past work, while technical candidates may discuss system design or platform architecture in more depth.

5. Managerial round

A senior manager assesses ownership, adaptability and fit with Zee's fast-moving broadcast and streaming environment. Interviewers look for comfort juggling multiple content formats and deadlines.

6. HR interview and offer

The final round covers compensation, location and joining timelines, followed by an offer letter. Shift or travel requirements for production roles are also confirmed here.

Zee Entertainment typically runs three to four rounds for content, digital and technology roles, with an added portfolio step for creative positions.

Round 1: Skills or aptitude test

A 45-60 minute test typically evaluates writing, editing or technical skills relevant to the role applied for, with business roles instead taking a case-style questionnaire.

• Content writing or programming-schedule exercise
• Basic technical or coding questions for digital roles
• Case-style questions for marketing and business roles

Round 2: Creative or technical interview

A senior lead conducts a 30-45 minute discussion on past creative work, programming strategy, or technology architecture, often asking for a fresh idea on the spot.

• Discussion of a show concept or content strategy idea
• Platform or streaming architecture basics for technical roles

Round 3: Panel or portfolio review

A panel of senior managers reviews a portfolio, case study or technical solution relevant to the role, probing the reasoning behind key creative or technical decisions.

• Presenting a past campaign, show or content project
• Understanding of ZEE5 and Zee's channel portfolio

Round 4: HR interview

The final round covers compensation, location and joining formalities, typically lasting 20-30 minutes.
