What r/HumanResourcesUK Is For
This is a community for HR professionals and students in the UK. It also welcomes employees who want to ask HR folk for opinion and advice. The description is clear that it exists for genuine conversation, not promotion. Research invites are allowed as long as they do not collect personal data for sales purposes, and members can share useful content if it is non-commercial.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called 'No spam / commerical links' is the one that will sink a marketing-adjacent post before anything else. The community description is explicit that advertising is not allowed. The rule 'No posting offensive material / trolling' matters too, along with 'No discrimination of any sort' and 'Please do not spread misinformation or give intentionally incorrect advice'. The misinformation rule has teeth because the moderators say they may mute or ban users who double down when challenged.
What To Post
A good post here is one that contributes to the HR conversation without selling anything. If you are a founder with an HR-adjacent product, the safest path is to share genuinely useful, non-commercial content like a free resource, a framework, or an honest question about a real HR challenge you are working through. If you have a research invite, it can work as long as it does not collect personal data for sales purposes. The key is that whatever you share must read as helpful to UK HR professionals, not as a funnel into your product.
What To Avoid
Do not post commercial links or advertisements. The rule 'No spam / commerical links' is direct about this. Do not post offensive material or troll the community. Do not discriminate against anyone. Do not spread misinformation or give intentionally incorrect advice, and if another user challenges what you said, do not double down on it. The moderators track behavior per user and ban people whose posts are consistently removed for violations.
