About the company
Extracadabra runs a matching platform for short and longer-term work in hospitality, events, retail, and logistics. The company has been operating since 2015 and positions the product as a way to staff quickly across busy, hard-to-hire sectors. Public company profiles show a Paris base and a growing multi-city footprint, including Lyon and newer city rollouts mentioned in operations roles. Hiring content frames the internal team as fast-moving, with autonomy and responsibility given early.
Locations and presence
Extracadabra is headquartered in Paris, with the platform marketed heavily across Paris and Lyon. Operations hiring also references responsibility for additional cities, including Lyon and Lille, from a Paris-based role.
Palpable Score
72.5
/ 100
Extracadabra is unusually transparent on early-career roles, including pay, benefits, and interview steps on internship and fixed-term postings. The score is capped mainly by limited public proof of junior promotion pathways, even though retention and employee sentiment signals look strong.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.5
/ 20
  • The company posts multiple internships at the same time (Customer Success tracks across restaurant, events, and hospitality/retail), which creates real entry points for students and recent graduates.
  • Extracadabra also hires into early-career-friendly operations roles like Customer Success in a fixed-term contract, rather than restricting openings to senior-only profiles.
  • The company’s internal early-career access looks role-by-role rather than cohort-based, so the number of “shots on goal” can be limited at any given time.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

16.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes a step-by-step interview flow on at least one internship listing, including interview types and expected duration per step.
  • Extracadabra includes pay bands directly on listings (for example internship monthly salary ranges and an annual salary cap for a fixed-term role), which reduces wasted time for candidates.
  • The company still relies on case interviews for roles like Customer Success and Business Development, and public materials do not always explain what “good” looks like in the case beyond the stage label.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company places interns alongside Customer Success Managers with day-to-day work that includes briefing candidates, solving scheduling issues, and learning the internal tooling, which is practical learning-by-doing.
  • Extracadabra frames the culture around autonomy and responsibility, which can accelerate growth for juniors when paired with active manager support.
  • The company does not publish junior-specific support mechanics such as buddying, 1:1 cadence, or a written ramp plan, so coaching consistency is hard to judge from the outside.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes internship pay ranges and lists concrete benefits (meal vouchers, gym access, mobility support), which is a strong early-career affordability signal.
  • Extracadabra lists additional stability perks like health coverage and partial remote work on role pages, which matters for early-career sustainability in Paris.
  • The company does not consistently publish pay ranges across every role type, so pay transparency still depends on the specific vacancy.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

15.5
/ 20
  • The company reports very low turnover on a public employer profile, which is a useful retention indicator when assessing early-career risk.
  • Extracadabra has strong employee sentiment on an external review site, including high overall rating and “recommend to a friend” figures based on dozens of reviews.
  • The company does not publish clear early-career progression outcomes like time-to-promotion ranges, junior-to-mid examples, or structured levels, which limits confidence on growth beyond the first year.
