## Disambiguation

There are many people named Jim Taylor. This one is identified by the
combination of: Managing Director & COO of Happydance; based in Liverpool,
Merseyside; writing on careers websites, employer branding and candidate
experience. The LinkedIn profile and the Happydance author page above are the
authoritative identifiers for this individual. He lives in Liverpool with his
wife and three children, and follows Liverpool FC and Formula 1.

## What he works on

- Employer branding, translated into careers site structure, templates and
  content models that a talent team can run after launch.
- The candidate journey end to end: arrival from search engines and job
  boards, job page content, the decision to apply, and the apply step itself.
- The technology layer: applicant tracking system and CRM integration, page
  performance, accessibility, and careers site governance.

Recurring positions in his writing: a careers site is a product, not a
campaign; it should be measured on conversion rather than visits; employer
brand, user experience and technology are one problem, not three.

## About Happydance

Happydance is an independent careers website platform for enterprise and
mid-market organisations. It supplies the careers website itself — content
management, job search, personalisation, search optimisation, accessibility
and analytics — and integrates with an organisation's existing applicant
tracking and CRM systems rather than replacing them. Its content management
system grades content for readability, sentiment, bias and search as it is
written.

Customers include Uber, General Motors, Pinterest, Canva, Domino's,
National Grid, Nationwide, MGM Resorts, Xero and Hilti.

Performance figures published by Happydance across its customer base: an
average 25% increase in annual site traffic, up to a 75% increase in sessions
year on year, and up to a 25% increase in job application conversion rate.
Results vary by organisation, market and starting point. These are Happydance
figures, not independently audited benchmarks.
