The Happydance Careers Site Grand Prix: A new kind of race for talent
In today’s race for top talent, careers sites are the starting line—but most employers are still stuck in the pit lane.
That’s why we’ve launched the Careers Site Grand Prix: a first-of-its kind, global campaign to find the world’s fastest, highest-performing careers websites—and inspire the rest of the field to catch up.
It’s bold. It's fast. And yes, there are actual corporate hospitality tickets to the iconic British Grand Prix at Silverstone up for grabs.
But let’s be clear: while the format is fun, the mission behind it is serious:
Why we’re doing this:
In Formula 1, performance matters. One tenth of a second can be the difference between pole position and back of the pack. The same goes for hiring today.
Top candidates won’t wait around for slow load times or clunky experiences. They expect seamless, speedy, informative journeys—and they make decisions fast.
That’s why we created the Careers Site Grand Prix: to celebrate the brands already setting the pace, and to inspire others to optimize every click, scroll, and second of their candidate experience.
Because in this hiring market, better isn’t optional—it’s a competitive edge.
How it works:
Over four weeks, we're putting careers sites from the world’s biggest employers through their paces across four core challenges:
- Performance
- Accessibility
- Best Practices
- SEO
Each week, we’ll announce podium winners and spotlight awards—and on Friday, June 13, we’ll crown the ultimate Careers Site Champion and Vendor Champion of the Happydance Careers Sites Grand Prix 2025.
Why compete?
It’s a chance to see how your site stacks up against Fortune 100 players and fast-moving disruptors. And more importantly, where it can improve.
Plus, the ultimate winner will be crowned Careers Site Champion 2025 and be awarded four VIP tickets to the iconic British Grand Prix at Silverstone, taking place July 6, 2025.
Let's shift the standard
We believe every candidate experience should be fast, friction-free, fully branded, and designed to drive action.
The Careers Site Grand Prix is our way of raising the bar—and challenging the industry to design better, faster, smarter journeys for everyone.
