About the company
Honor runs a home care network and technology platform designed to support older adults at home and improve how care is delivered. Honor’s workforce includes Care Professionals in the field plus a smaller headquarters team building operations and software. Honor also operates through the Home Instead network in many local markets. The company’s public hiring focuses heavily on caregiver roles, with a separate corporate job board for HQ and tech functions.
Locations and presence
Honor lists headquarters in San Francisco, with corporate roles split across remote and hub-based hiring depending on team. Care Professional hiring is distributed across many local markets, tied to in-home client coverage rather than a single office footprint.
Palpable Score
61.4
/ 100
Honor is unusually accessible for early-career starters because the company hires at volume into Care Professional roles with clear requirements and paid onboarding time. The score is capped by restructuring and layoff signals in recent years and limited public evidence on early-career progression beyond frontline training and support.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

15.3
/ 20
  • The company hires Care Professionals at scale with minimum requirements that do not include years of corporate experience, making this a practical first-job entry point.
  • Honor keeps a dedicated caregiver jobs funnel with clear eligibility requirements and market-wide recruiting, which supports recurring early-career access rather than one-off hiring.
  • The company’s corporate and tech roles on the main job board skew senior (for example Senior Backend Engineer and Senior Director, Product Management), so entry-level access is much thinner outside the care workforce.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes specific caregiver requirements and spells out what new hires must complete to be ready for client work, which reduces surprise criteria.
  • Honor states upfront that onboarding tasks are paid and even time-estimates the paperwork workload over 2–3 weeks, which is a candidate-friendly transparency detail.
  • The company has mixed candidate and worker reports on interview consistency, including group interview formats and variable shadowing-based training depending on manager and market.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

12.8
/ 20
  • The company markets structured support for Care Pros such as paid orientation and training plus 24/7 care team support, which matters for early-career confidence in the field.
  • Honor builds role support into tooling through the Care Pro App, creating day-to-day guidance that reduces “figure it out alone” risk for new starters.
  • The company also has worker feedback that describes limited formal training beyond shadowing in some situations, which points to uneven learning quality by location and supervisor.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.3
/ 20
  • The company advertises tangible stability features for Care Pros such as weekly pay, holiday pay at 1.5x, and benefits eligibility including health coverage and a 401(k) match based on hours worked.
  • Honor posts salary ranges for some corporate roles and describes employer-paid benefits like disability coverage and a 401(k) match, which is stronger transparency than many private companies.
  • The company has recurring restructuring and layoff signals across 2020 and 2022–2023, which increases perceived stability risk for early-career HQ roles and career planning.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.5
/ 20
  • The company does not publish early-career outcomes like caregiver-to-lead progression rates, promotion timelines, or retention by tenure band, so outcomes are hard to score confidently.
  • Honor has public layoff reporting and employee comments describing multiple restructuring rounds, which is negative evidence for predictable early-career stability.
  • The company’s LinkedIn employee footprint shows a large frontline workforce with smaller corporate teams, but that does not replace published conversion or progression data for juniors.
