Complete Job Portal in PHP & MySQL | Source Code Included

An applicant tracking system with the piece most PHP job portals skip: a Kanban pipeline you drag candidates across, so the state of every hire is visible at a glance instead of buried in a status column.

The pipeline

Candidates move between stages by drag and drop, and the stages themselves are yours to define — screening, telephonic, technical, HR, offer, whatever your process is called. The board is the working screen; the list view behind it filters and exports to CSV or PDF when someone wants the data outside the app.

The candidate record

Full create, read, update and delete on candidates, with resumes and certificates uploaded as PDF, DOC or DOCX. Academic and technical qualifications are multi-select, so a candidate can carry several without a row per qualification. Interviews and follow-ups are scheduled on a calendar view, with an upcoming-interviews panel on the dashboard for the ones that matter this week.

The numbers

KPI cards across the top, then bar, doughnut and area charts underneath, with month-over-month trend indicators showing whether hiring is speeding up or slowing down — not just how many applications exist.

Built to be deployed, not just demoed

Logins are rate-limited, forms are CSRF-protected and passwords are bcrypt-hashed. Admin and user roles separate who can manage what, and a complete audit log records every action. Each user can set their own theme, and the whole thing is mobile-responsive for reviewing candidates away from a desk.
