OUR GOAL

We started Paddle because switching careers is hard and we want to fix that.

Paddle was founded with the goal of solving a challenging and increasingly common problem: the great career switch.

 

Switching is hard, it is stressful, it has financial and personal implications, and, most importantly, we all end up doing it. We set out to make this process easier and, along the way, found that one of the most obvious career growth levers was being overlooked by employees and employers alike: the internal career move. That has been our focus since 2018.
