About the company
Hubcycle turns agri-food by-products into “upcycled” plant-based ingredients for manufacturers, positioning the supply chain as both cost-competitive and lower-waste. The company says the ingredient workflow is backed by a large internal by-product database and highlights food-safety certification (FSSC 22000). Hubcycle is based in Avignon and has published hiring materials that describe a performance-driven culture and hybrid work. Hubcycle announced a €15m Series A round in 2024 to support expansion and product development.
Locations and presence
Hubcycle’s published HQ location is Avignon, France, and the company markets ingredients to industrial buyers beyond France. Hubcycle’s workplace page also references a team working across multiple countries.
Palpable Score
56.5
/ 100
Hubcycle scores well on hiring clarity for the roles the company publishes, with visible interview steps, case formats, and salary ranges. The score stays mid-pack because public job inventory skews experienced and there is very limited public outcome data on junior progression or retention.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

6.5
/ 20
  • The company’s publicly listed open roles are predominantly mid to senior, with experience requirements like “>3 years” and “>5 years” visible in current postings.
  • Hubcycle’s current published roles include multiple permanent openings, but the set shown does not include internships, apprenticeships, or “0–2 years” entry routes.
  • The company offers a “spontaneous application” route, which is an access point, but it does not function as a clear early-career pipeline without junior role definitions.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.5
/ 20
  • The company’s published role process for a technical position spells out stages such as recruiter interview, deep-dive interview, technical case, and an on-site case presentation plus culture-fit meeting.
  • Hubcycle includes concrete scope and responsibilities in at least one detailed posting, with day-to-day deliverables and reporting line stated.
  • The company relies on role-specific pages for transparency rather than a consistent, company-wide explanation of timelines, feedback, or what “good” looks like across functions.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company’s workplace page lists onboarding journeys and technical trainings as part of how teams collaborate and ramp.
  • Hubcycle’s technical posting describes structured support around the role, including a named reporting line and “support” from another internal manager, plus exposure to domain experts.
  • The company does not publish junior-specific coaching expectations such as mentoring ownership, 1:1 cadence, or a defined progression framework for early-career hires.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes salary ranges on multiple current postings, including mid-level and leadership roles, which reduces pay ambiguity for applicants.
  • Hubcycle lists stability signals such as permanent contracts, hybrid work, and benefits like bonuses, RTT, and partial health-care coverage on workplace materials.
  • The company does not publicly explain equity for non-senior hires or provide consistent benefits detail across every role page, which limits confidence on early-career pay fairness.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

7.5
/ 20
  • The company’s employee-review presence is thin, with a company page that indicates reviews are not yet populated, limiting third-party insight into retention or manager quality.
  • Hubcycle has repeat hiring signals in the form of multiple open permanent roles, but repeat hiring alone does not show early-career progression or internal mobility.
  • The company does not publish outcome evidence such as promotion examples, junior-to-mid transitions, or tenure patterns that would let candidates judge growth after 12–24 months.
