Why we made Apricot

Why we made Apricot

Before we started Apricot we provided bespoke software for several clients in recruitment, and we also became aware of alternative software on the market. We weren't impressed with the options and in particular, there wasn't much for smaller operators. Other products were hard to use and expensive, with high set-up costs, over-priced user licenses and obligatory support contracts.

what was wrong?

Most surprising was just how difficult other recruitment software is to use. We were amazed to see such clunky, old-fashioned and complicated solutions. In particular, recruitment software solutions can be:

  • Unnecessarily complicated by features that aren't needed
  • Difficult to use and not instinctive
  • Too fixed in how you could use them
  • Ugly!

Put another way, they're not very nice to use, and we think that makes them less effective at saving your time and making recruitment easier.

Your Apricot account lets you instantly add candidates, clients and jobs, manage the application process, add tasks, and view reports on your business. Browse our full list of features.

Making apricot better

We care about how it actually feels to use a system, and believe that simple and clear software makes business easier and better. We wanted to make sure Apricot was easier not just to use, but also to set up, pay for, and even cancel. Here's some specific ways we put the user experience first:

  • Plan the page first and add functionality second
  • Keep trying to find things to remove or reduce
  • Ask users what they think, and listen
  • Make signing up and cancellation really quick
  • Charge monthly so if you don't like it, we don't get paid

Apricot will keep getting better

Apricot is not a software package that stays the same. You pay monthly for a system which keeps getting better, and we'll carry on adding new features and asking customers how we can make it easier.
