About the company

Aufinity Group (known under the bezahl.de brand in German-speaking markets) builds software that digitises and automates payment and receivables workflows for the automotive industry. The company positions the product around “Autonomous Finance”, aiming to reduce manual back-office work for dealerships and OEMs. Public company materials say the platform launched in Germany in 2018 and the business is expanding across Europe under the Aufinity brand. The company has raised institutional funding rounds to support European expansion.

Locations and presence

Aufinity Group is headquartered in Cologne, Germany, and the company presents Cologne as the main team hub. Public hiring activity and market messaging also point to active European expansion, including commercial roles in countries such as Spain, France, and Italy.

Palpable Score

59.4

/ 100

Aufinity Group has a real early-career foothold through working-student hiring and at least some junior titles, plus a clearly explained interview flow. The score is held back by limited consistently available 0–2 year roles, missing salary ranges in job ads, and thin third-party evidence on junior progression and retention.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company lists a Working Student HR Recruiting role on the main ATS, which is a genuine entry point for students.
Aufinity Group also advertises junior-titled roles publicly, including a “(Junior) Operations Manager” in Cologne and a “Junior Software Developer” employee spotlight on the careers page.
The company’s core job board still skews experienced for many functions, with several roles asking for “multiple years” and senior-level experience, so graduate-access roles are not a steady pipeline.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

15.3

/ 20

The company publishes a four-step hiring flow (recruiter interview, manager deep dive, meet the team, offer), which makes the process easier to prepare for.
Aufinity Group runs applications through Personio with a dedicated recruiting privacy policy, giving candidates clarity on data handling and retention.
The company does not consistently publish role-specific assessment details (case tasks, take-home expectations, timelines) inside the individual job ads reviewed, which reduces transparency for candidates trying to plan effort.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.8

/ 20

The company explicitly sells a learning culture (“mistakes as opportunities”) and frames feedback as part of everyday improvement on the careers page.
Aufinity Group’s working-student HR job ad promises “smooth onboarding” with a mentor plus “constant feedback, training and further education,” which is a concrete support signal.
The company does not publicly describe structured early-career ramp plans beyond the working-student example (buddy systems for grads, first-30-60-90 plans, or consistent mentorship across teams), so learning support likely varies by manager.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company lists practical benefits such as support for the Deutschlandticket, lunch, and internet, plus workation and home-office flexibility in job materials.
Aufinity Group rarely publishes salary ranges in the job ads reviewed, which makes it harder for early-career candidates to check pay fairness upfront.
The company’s public third-party salary footprint is too thin to use as a reliable benchmark for juniors, so compensation competitiveness is hard to validate from the outside.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.3

/ 20

The company shares internal tenure signals through employee quotes, including at least one team member citing almost six years at Aufinity Group.
Aufinity Group’s funding announcements and stated European expansion plans suggest team growth that can create new responsibilities and internal moves, but this is not the same as proven junior promotion outcomes.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows ongoing hiring across multiple European markets, but Aufinity Group does not publish early-career progression data, promotion timelines, or 12–24 month retention outcomes for junior hires.
