About the company

Dalma is a French pet health insurance startup launched in 2020 and headquartered in Fresnes, with a hiring presence tied to Paris and Berlin. Dalma sells a digital, no-deductible pet insurance product and highlights fast reimbursements and in-app access to veterinary advice. Public company materials describe expansion into Germany in October 2023 and a team of around 50 across France and Germany. Dalma’s hiring pages also emphasise a pet-friendly workplace and a hybrid rhythm.

Locations and presence

Dalma is headquartered in Fresnes and publicly lists an office address in Paris, with roles also referenced in Berlin. Job ads show flexibility ranging from occasional remote to fully remote depending on the function.

Palpable Score

63.3

/ 100

Dalma is a strong pick for early-career candidates who want a structured hiring process, practical training, and visible internal mobility. The score is held back by limited volume of 0–1 year roles at any one time and only partial pay transparency across listings.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company lists an apprenticeship track via “Chargé.e RH en alternance,” which creates a student-to-work entry point beyond standard hiring.
Dalma advertises early-career accessible roles like Customer Care Officer with an experience bar of “> 1 year,” which is realistic for junior applicants.
The company shows only a small number of open roles at once on its main jobs hub, so recurring 0–3 year hiring across teams is not consistently visible.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

15.0

/ 20

The company publishes a step-by-step recruitment process for Customer Care Officer, including a first HR call, a time-boxed at-home case, a manager interview, and a team-fit stage.
Dalma includes role facts like contract type, location, remote policy, experience bar, and starting date on the same listing, which reduces guesswork for applicants.
The company uses an at-home case for at least one early-career-facing role, which is role-relevant, but still adds candidate workload.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company commits to continuous learning options, including role-specific training, language learning, and management development programmes as part of the benefits pack.
Dalma publishes a concrete “intern to permanent contract” progression story in Ops, describing skill-building phases (process automation, workflow optimisation) and increasing ownership over time.
The company does not publish a repeatable early-career onboarding plan or mentoring structure across teams, so support likely varies by function.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company shows real pay transparency for at least one role, listing Customer Care Officer at “€27K+” on a permanent contract.
Dalma lists practical stability benefits like pet insurance, sports allowance, and a professional development plan, plus a hybrid working pattern on job pages.
The company does not consistently publish salary ranges across other functions, which limits pay fairness checks for early-career candidates comparing offers.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

12.3

/ 20

The company publishes a specific internal mobility outcome where an end-of-studies intern (March 2024) moved to a fixed-term contract (September 2024) and then to a permanent Operations Manager role (May 2025).
Dalma ties growth milestones to team scaling across France and Germany, which supports repeat hiring, but does not quantify early-career retention rates over 12–24 months.
The company’s LinkedIn presence promotes multiple openings across Tech, Data, and Marketing, but public information does not show how many junior hires progress into senior scope.
