Careers Websites by Sector: Real Happydance Customers Across Industries
Careers websites by sector brings together the real employers that use Happydance, grouped by industry, with a guide to what each sector needs from its careers website.
By the Happydance team. Updated November 2026.
How we grouped the sectors
Every Happydance customer careers website in our leaderboard sample belongs to a sector. We grouped the 60 current customer sites by what the employer does, then built a guide for each group.
Employers in the same sector often share the same hiring problems: the same scarce skills, the same regulators, the same seasonal peaks and the same candidate questions. A sector view helps you see what other employers like yours have built.
Sample disclosure: figures come from the Careers Website Performance Leaderboard, a sample of 101 careers websites (Happydance customers, 38 Fortune 100 companies and 2 wild cards). Counts and averages on this page cover current Happydance customers only. Scores are Lighthouse results for mobile and desktop, out of 800. It compares customers with large-company careers websites, not the whole market.

Counts come from the leaderboard sample. MGM Resorts appears in both the gaming and the retail and hospitality guides, so the table totals more than 60. Energy and utilities also features National Grid, which has a published case study but is not in the leaderboard sample.
Education and other sectors
Southern New Hampshire University is a Happydance customer, and you can see its careers website. With one education site in our sample we have not built a separate sector guide yet. If your organisation is in education, healthcare or any other sector, the Happydance platform works the same way: everything content-managed by your team, with no developer needed.
