Where we came from...
Hi there - I’m Caroline Gleeson, Occupop Co‑Founder
People often ask me why we built Occupop. A happy intersection of the functionality and scope of a robust ATS system married with a simple, easy to use way to track complex hiring processes and manage candidates effectively — all without much training.
That’s why we built Occupop — we believe that recruitment can be distilled down into its simpler elements, easy to use and accessible to everyone at work.
While there are many good, robust recruitment software products on the market today, many are complex, require comprehensive training and none support the hiring needs of small and medium businesses —which is a cost sensitive, comprehensive solution that is so simple to use, almost anyone can jump in and use it.
We believe that solving that is critical for small and medium businesses in particular.
We’re here for theFortune 1,000,000
Most big software companies fight over the Fortune 100. The big players, the thousand-seat contracts, the enterprise level deals.
They can have them.
For over 7 years and running, we’ve kept our company small, sharp and laser focused — intentionally. We’re here for the Fortune 1,000,000. The small and mid-sized businesses of our world, the start-ups, the growing businesses, the scaleups, the businesses that do the hard work, not the most work.
Have 2-3 employees on your recruitment team? We’d be honoured to have you as a customer. Just you on your own? We’re here for you. Got 10+ HR folks and growing? Great, we’d love to have you, and grow with you.
Because small is not less than. It's faster than. It's friendlier than. It's warmer than. It’s more than.
Lessons fromthe SMB trenches
We’re in your corner
We don’t have to juice numbers to move stock prices or bombard you with upsells to hit revenue targets. We’re proud to be a female-led, independent, responsible, self-sufficient company focused on making a great product for our SMB customers — just like you are.
An investment in Occupop is investing in you, your team, and your organisation. You in the foreground, us in the background — together we’ll show them the power of small.
Thanks for reading, and for giving Occupop a try. You can always contact me directly if you have any questions at david@occupop.com.
We asked our customers what hiring life was like before, and how it’s improved after switching to Occupop.
Hundreds replied.Wow, what an impact.
"It has helped us reduce our average time to hire by 11 days, resulting in substantial cost savings of approximately £350k annually, versus our pre-ATS era. The continuous system upgrades and unwavering dedication to service improvement is remarkable."
With Occupop we are getting to the best candidates first. The speed to market allows us to react and respond really quickly. Advertising jobs using Occupop is extremely easy and we can adapt our hiring process completely using customised hiring flows.
Occupop makes your life so much easier. It gives me the time I need to spend on actual interviews rather than admin and we are already making adjustments to our hiring process thanks to the reporting function.
Since using Occupop we have reduced our recruitment process by 2 weeks & with our quality talent pool we have reduced our turnaround of replacing staff from 6 weeks to 1 week.
I have a number of different functionsin HR, but recruitment was taking upall of my time. I can now focus on what matters most, the people.
With Occupop I can clearly see what applicants have been shortlisted, what notes are associated with them and where they are in the hiring process. It saves me from the million emails I used to receive, with Occupop everyone knows what's happening in real time.
Since taking on Occupop, we have improved every aspect of our recruitment process. The hotel has really benefited as the candidates we’ve hired through the platform have been excellent
From initial onboarding to adding team members, the set-up is instantaneous, painless and doesn’t delay your recruitment process whatsoever.
You’ll save so much time and by comparison to other platforms, it’s the best out there because of its usability. We wish we implemented it years ago.
Occupop is making recruitment so much easier. The smart questions lets me easily filter candidates but importantly, I can action candidates and communicate quickly.
"With the onset of COVID-19 and swift move to fully remote working, you are no longer able to doorstep members of the hiring team to get updates on hiring progress, having Occupop and a system where movement and activity is easily identified, has been invaluable.”
Irrespective of the job, the calibre of candidates is so much higher because of the different channels Occupop posts to. Jobs have huge visibility and reach, where other companies might be missing out by only posting to certain channels.
Occupop has allowed me to generate more volume and quality applicants. The system is incredibly easy to use and I've engaged and recruited so much more hotel staff. The system helps me achieve full GDPR compliance and with the new regulations coming in, it's made things so much easier.
Lots of people love us, but we’re not right for everyone.
We’re not right for you if...
We’re a great fit if...
Manage your entire hiring process simply, from engagement to management, hiring and onboarding
Simple. Beautiful.
