About the company
Huboo is an eCommerce fulfilment company built around a “micro-hub” warehouse model, handling storage, picking, packing, shipping, and returns for online sellers. The company was founded in 2017 and grew quickly through the late 2010s and early 2020s, combining warehouse operations with in-house tech and process design. In December 2024, the group behind the original operating company went through administration, with the business and assets sold, and the Huboo brand continuing under a new ownership setup. That recent disruption matters for early-career stability, even though many operational roles remain a classic first step into logistics.
Locations and presence
Huboo is headquartered around Bristol, with major warehouse operations in places like Severn Beach and a wider UK and EU footprint. Huboo’s public company materials describe multiple warehouses across the UK and European Union, plus prior expansion activity in mainland Europe.
Palpable Score
57.2
/ 100
Huboo offers plenty of entry points for early-career candidates through operational roles with real responsibility and clear, practical expectations. The score is held back by recent corporate upheaval and mixed third-party signals on job security, progression, and the consistency of day-to-day support.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.5
/ 20
  • The company has hired heavily into warehouse and hub operations roles that are accessible to early-career applicants and do not rely on niche credentials.
  • Huboo has also recruited into “graduate” and junior-facing technical tracks in past hiring cycles, including roles labelled as graduate engineering in public interview/job-title trails.
  • The company’s current official vacancies are not consistently visible on the main careers funnel, which makes “repeat junior hiring right now” harder to verify.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

10.8
/ 20
  • The company uses role-relevant assessments in some pathways, like written attention-to-detail tasks and group activities for operational leadership hiring.
  • Huboo has interview accounts describing simple, time-bounded processes with clear stages (screening, interview, presentation) for some corporate roles.
  • The company also has mixed candidate and employee feedback on communication quality, so the fairness story depends heavily on team and location.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.6
/ 20
  • The company’s operational job descriptions set out day-to-day expectations and autonomy clearly, which helps early-career hires understand how to be successful quickly.
  • Huboo’s listings include explicit “personal development” language and practical training promises (for example, fire warden training in site roles) rather than only vague culture claims.
  • The company does not publish a concrete early-career learning structure such as a standard onboarding plan, buddy system, or review cadence, so support is hard to score into the top band.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

11.2
/ 20
  • The company has publicly posted salary numbers for some frontline roles (for example, fixed annual pay for warehouse roles and ranges for site security roles), which is useful for early-career filtering.
  • Huboo’s job ads also describe benefits like holiday allowance, share schemes in some roles, and common UK perks (cycle-to-work, life assurance, discounts), which supports basic pay fairness.
  • The company’s recent administration process is a meaningful stability risk for early-career candidates, and salary transparency is uneven outside operations roles.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.1
/ 20
  • The company has publicly reported redundancies prior to the administration period, which is negative evidence for early-career security and continuity.
  • Huboo has mixed employee sentiment on progression, with third-party reviews pointing to weaker “career opportunities” and lower recommendation rates than peers.
  • The company shows some multi-year tenure signals on LinkedIn-style public profiles and posts, but Huboo does not publish promotion pathways, internship-to-perm conversion, or retention metrics to prove outcomes.
