Applicant Management Software: Career Pages with Drupal
Last updated: March 2026 · Reading time: 6 minutes
Applicants expect a professional career page. Cumbersome forms, external portals without corporate design and missing mobile optimization deter talent. Drupal solves this by making the career section part of the corporate platform.
What a Career Page Must Deliver
Job listings as structured content. Every position is a content type with defined fields: title, location, description, requirements, benefits. This enables filtering, search and structured data for Google Jobs.
Online application. Form with file upload for resume and cover letter. GDPR-compliant consent and automatic deletion periods for applicant data.
ATS integration. Connection to applicant tracking systems like Personio, Softgarden or SAP SuccessFactors via REST APIs. Applications flow directly into the HR system.
Google Jobs. Structured data following schema.org/JobPosting so job listings appear in Google's job search.
Implementation with Drupal
Drupal provides all building blocks for professional career sections. Content types for job listings are configured via the Drupal interface. Views create filterable job lists by location, department or employment type.
Webform modules process applications with file upload and send the data to the ATS. The entire career section uses the same design and infrastructure as the corporate website — no external break in user experience.
Planning a Career Page?
arocom integrates career sections into existing Drupal platforms. The Future Check analyzes your requirements. Starting at EUR 2,500 plus VAT, credited toward the follow-up project.
Do I need a separate ATS?
For small companies with few positions, Drupal can handle the entire process. Beyond a certain size, a specialized ATS like Personio is recommended, connected to Drupal via APIs.
Is applicant data processing GDPR-compliant?
Yes, when correctly implemented. Drupal provides mechanisms for consent declarations, automatic deletion periods and right-of-access requests. arocom implements these requirements by default.
Can Drupal display job listings in Google Jobs?
Yes. Through structured data following schema.org/JobPosting, job listings are optimized for Google's job search. Drupal generates the required JSON-LD automatically.
