People Operations Specialist

Team: People Operations

Location: Hybrid in Oklahoma City, OK with 3 mandatory in-office days per week

Reports to: Senior People Operations Manager

Compensation Range: $50,000-$65,000

Apricot is on a mission to revolutionize the home health industry by tackling one of the biggest challenges faced by nurses: excessive paperwork. Right now, home health nurses spend more than half of their time documenting care — time that could be spent with patients instead. That burden fuels burnout, limits access to care, and leaves both nurses and operators frustrated.

We believe nurses deserve better. Our AI-powered platform dramatically reduces the time it takes to complete Start of Care documentation, giving nurses back hours in their day. That means better care for patients, more sustainable staffing for agencies, and more energy for the work that matters most.

At Apricot, we’re building more than a tool — we’re reimagining how documentation works, starting with the users who feel it most. And we’re doing it in close partnership with the agencies, clinicians, and QA teams we serve.

Role Description
As our People Operations Specialist, you will sit at the intersection of employee experience, hiring, human resources and daily operations. You will help shape who joins the company, how candidates experience us, and how our internal environment runs.

This role will take on various responsibilities across workstreams including office management, recruiting and onboarding, employer branding, candidate experience, and foundational HR. You will serve as a cultural touchpoint — shaping how candidates and employees experience Apricot.

What you’ll do:

Recruiting & Hiring

• Manage sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and candidate communication

• Keep pipelines clean, structured, and moving

• Deliver a thoughtful, polished candidate experience

Culture, Operations & Office Management

• Ensure the office runs smoothly and professionally

• Champion our company culture

• Own catering logistics and internal events

• Liaise with building management for parking, visitors, and deliveries

• Bring thoughtfulness to how people experience Apricot day-to-day

Foundational HR

• Supporting HR helpdesk requests

• Assisting with benefits administration and enrollments

• Coordinating team travel logistics

• Contributing to evolving People Operations processes

What makes you a great fit

• Recruiting-Experienced: You’ve supported or owned recruiting workflows before and understand how to manage candidate pipelines with structure and discipline.

• Culture Builder: You understand that how things feel matters. You bring positive energy, thoughtfulness, and high standards to the candidate and employee experience.

• Ownership-Driven: You take responsibility for outcomes, not just assigned tasks. If something needs fixing, you step in.

• Detail-Oriented: Small mistakes bother you. You double-check calendars, emails, and documentation because precision matters.

• Organized Under Pressure: You can juggle interview scheduling, office logistics, and ad hoc requests without losing structure or calm.

• Service-Minded: You genuinely care about candidate and employee experience while maintaining professionalism and boundaries.

• Growth-Oriented: You’re excited to grow within People Operations and comfortable wearing multiple hats in a scaling company.

We believe in potential over perfection. If you’re excited about our mission and can see yourself growing into this role—even if you don’t check every box—we encourage you to apply.

Why Join Apricot?

We’re not just building a product — we’re building a company that centers nurses, prioritizes patient care, and rethinks what’s possible in home health. As a member of the Apricot team, you’ll work closely with our customers, play a key role in shaping our support and onboarding strategy, and contribute directly to the success of a fast-growing healthcare startup. We’re a team that values curiosity, ownership, and mission-driven work. If you’re excited to support meaningful change — and help us build something exceptional from the ground up — we’d love to hear from you.

We’re a team of problem-solvers, caregivers, and builders—working together to improve care at home.
