Happydance Careers Site GP: The Best Practices GP Podium winners
Three races down, one to go and this week’s showdown was all about craft. The Best Practices GP challenged teams to bring their A-game in build quality, UX precision, and code cleanliness.
It’s not just how well designed your careers site is, it’s how it performs. From seamless integrations to mobile polish and intuitive journeys, this GP celebrates clean code, expert engineering, and carefully crafted candidate experiences.
The results are in. The Best Practices GP Podium:
This week, our podium winners set the benchmark for experience design.
N.B. This week seven teams scored 100/100 for Best Practices, so we used their latest speed index score to separate the leading pack and determine the podium.

Why best practices matter
In the race for top talent, speed and accessibility get you noticed—but craft is what converts.
Most modern careers sites aren’t about selling jobs. They’re about helping candidates opt in—or out—with confidence. They build trust through clear storytelling, and reflect not just what you offer, but who you are as an employer.
From clean UX flows to a genuine sense of belonging, when you follow best practices, your careers site stops being a digital brochure and starts working as a real recruiting engine.
What’s next in the competition:
Only one race remains—the final test before the finish line:
