Our history
Our recent history begins with a vision: reinventing job posting, an HR vertical that has not evolved in the past 20 years
Our approach is not only HR oriented, the financial dimension is also part of our DNA: we resolutely focus on the return on investment of a job post, by optimizing the CPA (cost per application).
We are convinced that to reinvent job posting, we have the right mix of expertise:
We have a solid understanding of the job broadcast challenges and the upheavals that this segment is currently experiencing.
We have strong business expertise: knowledge of broadcast platforms, knowledge of the HR communication agencies and recruitment tools such as ATS.
We perfectly master the technical skills necessary to face these challenges: automation, AI, robustness and reliability of cloud infrastructures, excellent understanding of the challenges of IS urbanization around the broadcasting business.
We have a data and financial approach to the subject, as opposed to traditional “pass-through” approaches to job publishing between employers and job ads channels.

The message of the founders
“At Xtramile, we believe that candidate sourcing should be smooth. Our innovative vision of recruitment is based on an observation: job posting must evolve towards a more intelligent, automatied model, driven by ROI and performance.
That's why we designed a software suite based on AI, data analytics, and total cost transparency.”
Our history
The birth of Xtramile
In 2017, Xavier Ragage attended a Job Summit in London, during which Google and Indeed presented the complex online recruitment market. Since Xavier comes from the financial world, his professional reflexes are back in force. Therefore, he asks:
—Is there a database showing, for each function, the average cost of receiving an application and the best choice of channels for obtaining it? A bit like in finance with Bloomberg asset price tables.
The negative response from the speakers was the trigger for Xavier and the start of a great adventure.
His main idea: apply the principles of financial trading to recruitment. This is how the concept of Job Trading and Xtramile was born. From Job Posting to Job Trading.
Du Job Posting au Job Trading.
Some key dates and the story of an encounter
2017
Xavier Ragage and Stéphanie Nenta create Xtramile, at the crossroads of recruitment and AI.
2022
Xtramile is exploring what will become its future positioning: the 100% automated job broadcast platform.
2024
Stéphanie wanted to move on to other professional projects and left Xtramile, while Joel Bentolila was convinced by the company and joined Xavier.
Xavier and Joel then give new impulse to Xtramile. Thanks to the duo in charge, the company found its market. Based on data and AI models, Xtramile provides recruiters with the means to optimize their publishing budget with finesse using its HR multicast platform.
2025
The company completed a seed fundraiser and signed major accounts in France, Benelux and Italy.
The founders
Two partners with complementary skills.
Xavier started his professional career at JP Morgan as a client manager, then a banker and trader, specializing in alternative investments.
Attracted by entrepreneurship, he started into HR Tech in 2017, in a segment at the crossroad of HR and finance, which would become the DNA of Xtramile a few years later: moving from Job Posting to Job Trading.
A fan of the intersection of disciplines, Xavier is also interested in the creation of businesses and has written a book on the subject.
Joel worked for major software companies before co-founding Talentsoft in 2007. As the CTO of Talentsoft, he built the product strategy and developed with his teams the Talentsoft HR SaaS platform. He sold the company in 2021, then shared his entrepreneurial experience with many founders of French Tech ecosystem.
This is how, in 2022, he meets Xavier. Both share the same observation: the job posting market has not changed in 10 years. The meeting is decisive.
In 2024, they chose to join forces to breathe new life into Xtramile and reinvent the job posting market. Joel becomes “late co-founder” of Xtramile as General Manager, in charge of Product & Technology.

Our vision & our mission
Transforming job broadcast through AI and data
Today: talent sourcing needs to be reinvented
Today: talent sourcing needs to be reinvented
We are aware that the search and distribution of job offers are highly dysfunctional; manual and repetitive tasks, profound changes in the job board market, fragmented ecosystem, lack of data to make good decisions.
Tomorrow: multicasting for everyone, everywhere
We are taking up the challenge of tomorrow: a market where each offer will find its candidate thanks to AI. The automation of multicasting will be widespread regardless of the channel: jobboards, traditional channels and social networks. More than ever, decisions will be based on data transparency and return on investment.
We have designed a platform that embodies this desire. It allows automatically broadcast your job offers On more than 1300 channels free and paid, to predict the cost per application and to optimize each euro invested.
Three principles accompany us in our mission: Innovation at the service of people, transparency and efficiency, and a real culture of collaboration.
Innovation at the service of humans thanks to AI
We have fully automated the multicast process thanks to models ofAI efficient to allow the:
- Publication of job offers and definition of distribution rules.
- Correction of ads: errors, discriminatory mentions, fields completed.
- Automatic generation of adapted content (social networks, advertising banners).
Transparency and efficiency
Recruiting data driven is the essence of Xtramile. Thanks to the reliability of the data, our customers DRH have divided their cost per application by 3.5 by using features that were previously unheard of:
- Precise management of budgets with Xtramile Job Analytics (Indeed) and costs per application (CPA).
- Predictive analytics of recruitment costs with Xtramile Predictive Analytics to anticipate expenses before the start of a new campaign.
- Detailed performance indicators (KPIs) for each ad.
- Transparency on the distribution of offers and the ROI.
Collaboration & Partnerships
We maintain close relationships with DRH, the HR agencies And the ATS editors. Thus, we integrate feedback from the field into our product road map to develop solutions adapted to the real needs of our customers.
We have built an ecosystem of partners (jobboards, ATS) that allows talent acquisition managers to find all of their recruitment tools in the same environment.
