From different industries, backgrounds, and experiences, the group came together around one shared truth: job searching can be isolating, exhausting, and disorienting.
But it doesn’t have to be done alone.
What began as casual meetups turned into lasting friendships. The group grew. And so did the
mission.
Today, Hurdle is a growing community built on peer support, where individuals cheer each other on through applications, rejections, interviews, and the quiet in between. We celebrate the wins, learn from the losses, and keep each other moving forward.
Whether you’re a graduate, a career changer, or in a tough spot professionally, you’re not just welcome here — you’re the reason we exist.
we’re here for the breakdown, not just the comeback.

Nathaniel McAllister
Nathaniel graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2023 and quickly found himself working in finance. After working in this industry for nearly 2 years, he ran into something that would change the course of his life.

Team.
After resorting to Tik Tok to post day in the life content, he was able to find his audience and turn his redundancy journey into something meaningful. He is now devoted to ensuring that no other graduate or young professional goes through the same experience and can overcome the hurdle of the job search.
Redundancy.
