Your Custom class need to implement, org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer.

like

import org.apache.kafka.common.header.Headers;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Map;

//Developed by Arun Singh
public class Employee implements Serializable, Serializer, **Deserializer** {

@Override
    public Object deserialize(String s, byte[] bytes) {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        Employee employee = null;
        try {
            //employee = mapper.readValue(bytes, Employee.class);
            employee = mapper.readValue(bytes.toString(), Employee.class);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return employee;
    }

    @Override
    public Object deserialize(String topic, Headers headers, byte[] data) {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        Employee employee = null;
        try {
            //employee = mapper.readValue(bytes, Employee.class);
            employee = mapper.readValue(data.toString(), Employee.class);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return employee;
    }

    public void close() {

    }
}
