Apricot International is a non-profit sourcing firm and Employer of Record that connects mission-driven companies with talent from underserved communities across the MENA region. It specialises in helping startups and founders access full-time remote candidates drawn from Palestinian, Yemeni and Lebanese communities.

The organisation provides end-to-end Employer of Record services that include interview training, onboarding, communication coaching and ongoing mentorship. Apricot has made a million-dollar investment in Palestinian excellence as part of its commitment to creating meaningful economic opportunities for displaced talent.

Many of Apricot's own team members come from displaced communities, reflecting an impact-driven approach grounded in resilience, innovation and dedication. The firm's work focuses on bridging the gap between mission-driven companies seeking talent and individuals in the MENA region who face barriers to traditional employment.
