AppleOne reviews

A lot of admin work that sometimes gets in the way of more important KPIs

AppleOne is a huge company and they own and use a number of things that are required for use in the offices, like their applicant tracking system and a background check company. The background check turnaround time can be frustrating. The ATS was in the process of moving to an online model which will help, but it is no where near as good as some of the top of the line ATS systems used in other places. The office culture is very friendly and inviting, but has long struggled to get going and have success. To do well, you really do need to be self-motivated and hungry. Also, while interviewing people in person is a great way to really get to know potential candidates, it can slow down the process and hurt efficiency. The market has a ton of staffing companies out there, seems like new ones pop up every day, so competition is tough and it takes a lot of persistence to get through to hiring managers. Majority of business for AppleOne is clerical types of positions and margins tend to be low and contracts on the shorter end, so it takes a lot of work to build up a margin/spread unless you are gifted or find a big account. Was disappointed by the cost/coverage of insurance for such a large company.
