Chapter 4. Recruit Using Drupal

With any business, recruitment is very important. There are many well-known recruitment platforms out there that allow you to just upload your CV, create a profile, and wait to be contacted. However, from a recruiter's perspective, there is the ability to also create your company profile and create jobs.

In this chapter, we will look at creating a recruitment website that allows a candidate to create a profile and apply for jobs by searching for jobs and getting search results.

We will also look at making the recruiter part where they can post jobs and get a log of when a candidate has applied for a job.

We will cover the following throughout this chapter:

  • Look at a new technique to install Drupal and add additional functionality
  • Create multiple user roles
  • Look at how to add fields to the registration form
  • Create a user role that is autoassigned to our newly registered user
  • Look at a Webform module and how we can use it
