made it!
If you’re still waiting for the right opportunity honestly believe the right one is waiting for you! I was one of the first people in Hurdle, so I appreciate all the workshops and events provided. They are truly hidden gems - in particular I have loved making friends from this experience. I’m still in the platform so happy to support where possible

I want to thank this community and everyone that has contributed, supported one way or the other. I would like to encourage everyone new and old members to not relent and believe that their dream job is achievable despite the job market uncertainty.
I have used tips, guidelines, information, etc shared on this platform to enhance my job search and it has been immensely beneficial.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to this community! I was made redundant about eight weeks ago, this group made so much of a difference and knowing that there were people out there going through the same thing being able to contact you and go on calls to reassure me.
Poppy
Before joining Hurdle, I felt unmotivated, lonely, and lacked self-belief. Since joining the community, I no longer feel that way. I now have a support network that provides encouragement, accountability, and honest conversations about the realities of job-hunting.

Hurdle as a community and resource has helped to contribute to my success in securing an international position within the life science sector. Hurdle not only exposes you to specialised career coaches to provide value added material to your search, Hurdle acts as a support community with other individuals going through similar hiring processes. I truly believe this accelerated towards the success and time taken towards securing my next position.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ 1
What is Hurdle?
Hurdle is a social network for professionals still figuring it out. It's built for young professionals navigating the job search, and anyone working through career change, burnout, or redundancy, not another feed to scroll, but a network built around real connection.
FAQ 2
Is Hurdle free to join?
Yes. Joining the Hurdle waitlist and becoming a Founding Member is free.
FAQ 3
Who is Hurdle for?
Hurdle is for professionals still figuring out their next step - especially young professionals navigating the job search, but also anyone facing career change, burnout, or redundancy, whether you're actively job searching, considering a pivot, or just need people around you who understand what this stage feels like.
FAQ 4
How is Hurdle different from LinkedIn?
LinkedIn was built as a social network but now runs like a social media platform, optimized for engagement rather than genuine connection. Hurdle is built the other way around: a space for real peer support without the performance layer.
FAQ 5
Is there a community for people in the job search?
Yes, Hurdle is built specifically for this, especially for young professionals navigating the job search, as well as anyone facing career change, burnout, or redundancy, with a particular focus on the UK job market.
FAQ 6
Do I need to already know what I want to do next to join?
No. Many members join while still figuring out their next step - that's exactly the kind of thing the community is there to work through together.
FAQ 7
When does the Hurdle app launch?
Founding Members get early access as we roll out. Joining the waitlist now secures your place as a Founding Member ahead of public launch.
FAQ 8
What does "Founding Member" mean?
Founding Members are the first people to join Hurdle, before public launch. It comes with early access and a permanent place in the community's early history - join now via the waitlist to lock that in.
