About the company

Booksalon builds an all-in-one platform for hair, beauty, and wellness businesses, combining online booking, checkout, and payment terminal services. The company positions the product around simplifying day-to-day salon operations, from appointments and payments to client management. Booksalon describes an international team and a plan to expand beyond Finland. Public updates also describe external funding rounds to support European expansion.

Locations and presence

Booksalon is headquartered in Helsinki, with an office address at Maria 01 (Lapinlahdenkatu 16). The company also markets across multiple European country sites and languages, which suggests go-to-market activity beyond Finland.

Palpable Score

43.3

/ 100

Booksalon has at least one early-career-accessible sales role on record with a real salary range and clear support language, but the public careers footprint looks stale and thin. Missing proof on current junior hiring, onboarding structure, and progression outcomes caps the score more than any single negative signal.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

6.8

/ 20

The company’s public hiring page currently shows only Sales Manager roles, with no Junior, Associate, Intern, or 0–2 years openings visible.
Booksalon links out to at least one historical Sales Manager posting that explicitly said “you don’t need to have a long experience” and offered induction, but that listing is dated.
The company does not show a repeatable pipeline for early-career entry across functions, so entry-level access cannot be confirmed as recurring.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company’s sales posting laid out concrete responsibilities (lead outreach, demos, new-market sales) plus requirements (English plus a Nordic language, some sales experience).
Booksalon’s careers page currently links to postings that appear unpublished or outdated, which reduces candidate confidence about what is actually open right now.
The company used an application system and set expectations like documents needed and a deadline, but does not publish a consistent hiring process (stages, timelines, task timeboxes).

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

8.7

/ 20

The company’s sales posting explicitly promised “good induction and team support,” which is a concrete early-career learning signal.
Booksalon positions the work as a build-and-improve environment where the hire can modify a sales model, but it does not spell out how coaching and feedback happen week to week.
The company does not publish onboarding plans, mentorship, shadowing, or review cadence for early-career hires in a way candidates can verify.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.0

/ 20

The company’s sales posting included a clear base salary range (€2,000–€2,500/month) plus commission, and even stated a target earnings range.
Booksalon does not consistently publish pay on the careers page itself, so transparency depends on where the role is hosted.
The company mentions flexibility (remote option and flexible hours) in the same posting, which supports stability, but there is no public benefits pack for juniors to compare.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

5.8

/ 20

The company has little to no reliable public employee review data under the correct company profile name, which blocks validation of early-career retention and manager quality.
Booksalon’s LinkedIn profile shows a small team size band and a visible employee list, but that does not provide measurable junior promotion patterns.
The company does not publish early-career outcome proof points like intern-to-perm conversions, junior-to-mid timelines, or “started as X, now Y” progression stories.
