Careers Website Templates and Content Blocks

Careers Website Templates and Content Blocks. Illustrated Happydance cover about careers website templates.

 

Platform feature

Happydance gives you 35 content blocks and more than 30 page types, so your team can build consistent, on-brand pages at scale across your global footprint, by drag and drop.

By the Happydance team. Updated November 2026.

Careers website templates and content blocks are how a careers website stays consistent when many people edit it. Your team builds with approved parts, so every page looks like your brand, whoever made it.

Definition: Content block

A reusable part of a page, such as a gallery, a video, a set of FAQs, a testimonial or a job list, that your team can add, change and rearrange.

What careers website templates give you

Happydance gives you 35 content blocks, such as galleries, videos, FAQs, testimonials and job lists, and more than 30 page types, such as teams, locations, blogs, events and jobs. That is enough to build almost any page a careers website needs, without asking a developer.

Brand control, at your level

You choose how far to go. You can customise all the essential brand elements across your careers website, which are colours, fonts, images and messaging, or elevate your employer brand with fully customised designs. See the plans for what is included in each.

Why blocks beat free-form editing

  • New pages look right from the first draft
  • Editors work inside approved parts of the design
  • Many people can edit with no developer
  • Updates to a block can improve every page at once
  • Consistent parts make accessibility and speed easier to protect

Match the page type to the question

A page type is only useful if it answers the question a candidate is asking at that moment. In Sell The Truth, Bryan Adams calls this moving from pages to moments, and it is a good way to choose what to build.

Six page types and the question each one answers. Questions from Bryan Adams, Sell The Truth, chapter 28.
Page typeThe candidate is askingBlocks that help
HomepageWhy this company?Hero, video, a short story
Job family or teamWhere might I fit?Team, testimonials, job list
LocationCould I build a life there?Gallery, map, job list
Culture or aboutDo I believe these people?Employee stories, video
Hiring processWill I be treated fairly and clearly?Steps, FAQs
Job detailCan I see myself in this role, with these people?Manager quote, job list

Choose the block for the question, not the other way round.

Working at global scale

Templates help a global footprint look like one brand. A regional team picks a template, adds local content and publishes, in the same careers website CMS as everyone else. Permissions control who can change what, and each language has its own web address. See the multilingual careers website guide.

Structure carries the truth

Blocks and page types are structure. Your stories are the truth. You need both, because a true story in a muddled layout is missed, and a beautiful layout around nothing is ignored.

Truth without structure falls flat. Structure without truth falls apart.

Bryan Adams, Sell The Truth

A quick truth test for this page:

  • Does each page answer the question a candidate is asking at that moment?
  • Is every block filled with something real?
  • Could a regional editor build a page that still feels like you?

Six page types, six questions

Six page types, six questions

From Sell The Truth by Bryan Adams: every page answers a different question. Open a page type to see what to build.

1. Homepage: "Why this company?"

Your handshake. One short, sharp message, and a story that creates instant connection.

2. Job family or team: "Where might I fit?"

Real people in real roles, in enough detail for a visitor to recognise themselves.

3. Location: "Could I build a life there?"

Make a life decision feel tangible, with the place, the people and the jobs.

4. Culture or about: "Do I believe these people?"

Values lived, not listed. This is the page where you earn trust.

5. Hiring process: "Will I be treated fairly and clearly?"

Reduce fear. Show each step, who is involved and what happens next.

6. Job detail: "Can I see myself in this role, with these people?"

A micro-story, such as a manager quote, that helps someone picture the work.

Questions to ask any supplier

  1. Can a recruiter build a page from blocks, live, in a demo?
  2. How many content blocks and page types are included, and what are they?
  3. Can blocks be locked to protect the design?
  4. Who pays for new blocks or templates?
  5. How do blocks perform on speed and accessibility?

Use the RFP template to ask every supplier the same questions, and see recruitment campaign landing pages for a common use.
