Employee experience: Luke's squiggly career path to remarkable days

Luke is the Lead Implementation Consultant at Happydance and has spent 13 years shaping candidate experiences through data, research, and collaboration. His dedication to solving customer challenges and making a difference is evident in everything he does.
“I’ve loved optimizing the candidate experience we provide,” Luke shares. “Collaborating with our customers to solve their unique challenges is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role.”
“The best days are when we launch something remarkable.”
For Luke, the most fulfilling moments at Happydance often happen on launch days. “The best days are usually when we release a new careers website. It’s an opportunity to showcase some truly remarkable work that inspires people to apply for roles they’ll love.”
Whether working with peers remotely or in person, collaboration fuels Luke’s passion. “Connecting with peers and collaborating to solve our customers’ problems is so fulfilling,” he reflects. “Nothing beats being in person with the team—you can feel the energy of the room.”
“Happydance supports every step of your career journey.”
Luke’s career at Happydance has been anything but linear. “I’ve had what you might call a squiggly career path,” he laughs. “Starting as a junior web designer, I progressed into front-end development, then UX design, and now, implementation consulting.”
At Happydance, Luke has found the freedom and support to grow in ways that align with his ambitions. “You’re not constrained by hierarchy here. The opportunities and support to grow your career keep things fresh and empowering.”
“Enjoy the ride and embrace the challenges.”
Luke’s advice for new team members is to approach every opportunity with an open mind. “Enjoy the ride and be prepared to be challenged in ways you may not have considered before,” he says.
For Luke, Happydance is a place where expertise, innovation, and collaboration converge to create meaningful experiences—for customers and teammates alike.
