What is Drupal, and why do companies build with it?
Drupal is an enterprise-grade content management framework built for structured content, complex permissions and multi-site governance. It demands more engineering skill than lighter systems, which is precisely why it is chosen by governments, universities and large organisations that need editorial workflows and content models that survive years of change.
What is Drupal used for?
These are the product categories where Drupal is the deliberate choice rather than a default. If your project sits outside them we will say so during the first call.
Government and public sector
Accessibility, security and auditability requirements.
Universities and education
Large content estates with distributed editorial teams.
Enterprise multi-site
Many sites sharing one platform and governance model.
Decoupled publishing
Drupal as a content API behind multiple front ends.
Complex content models
Structured, reusable content rather than free-form pages.

How do you evaluate a Drupal developer?
Test a Drupal engineer on the content model and the upgrade path. Ask how they design entity types and fields for reuse, how they approach a Drupal 7 to 10 migration, how they manage configuration between environments, and how they keep custom modules upgrade-safe. Drupal projects usually fail on modelling and upgrades, not on code.
We apply exactly these checks before a candidate reaches your shortlist, which is why our acceptance rate sits at roughly 3%. You still run your own interview — the screen is there to make that interview short.
How deep is the Drupal talent pool in Vietnam?
Vietnam produces a large annual cohort of computer-science and engineering graduates, and Drupal sits inside the mainstream of what local teams build commercially — which matters, because a stack that is only used in hobby projects produces candidates with no production scars. Depth is strongest at mid level (three to five years); genuine senior and lead-level people exist in smaller numbers and are almost always employed, which is why we approach them directly rather than waiting for applications.
Practically, that shapes two things for you. First, timing: mid-level roles are usually filled from our existing pool within 48 hours, while a rare senior specialisation can take two to three weeks of targeted search. Second, price: seniority moves the rate far more than the technology does, which is why our ladder is built on experience bands rather than on a per-language price list. If your requirement is genuinely scarce locally, we will say so at the first call instead of sending profiles that do not meet the bar.
What to prepare before your Drupal developer starts
The difference between an engineer who contributes in week one and one who is still waiting in week three is almost never the engineer. It is access. Before the start date, have repository and environment access approved, a named person who can answer domain questions, and one small but real ticket ready — not a sandbox exercise, an actual piece of work that goes through your normal review and release process.
- Accounts, repository and environment access approved in advance
- A named technical contact for the first two weeks
- Architecture notes or a walkthrough recording, however rough
- One small, real ticket ready for the first week
- Your definition of done and review expectations written down
We run this checklist with you before the start date as part of onboarding, and we hold a 30-day review covering delivery, communication and fit — with a free replacement if any of the three is wrong.
How much does it cost?
Rates are all-in: sourcing, five-step vetting, employment contracts, payroll, personal income tax, statutory insurance, workspace and delivery management are already included. There is no separate recruitment fee and no hidden employer-cost surprise at the end of the month.
What moves the number is seniority, how scarce the skill set is locally, and engagement length — longer commitments and multi-role teams price better than a single short contract. You receive a written quote against your specific role profile before committing to anything.
How do you get started?
- Day 0 — send the briefRole, seniority, stack and timeline. A 20-minute call is usually enough.
- 48 hours — shortlistProfiles with real project context and confirmed availability, not keyword-matched CVs.
- ~7 days — startYou interview and select; we handle contracts, payroll, compliance and onboarding.
Drupal: in-house, freelancer or TechHub?
| Criteria | In-house hiring | Freelancer | TechHub |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vetting | You run it | Self-declared | Top 3%, five-step screen |
| Time to start | 2–3 months | Days, quality varies | ~7 days, vetted |
| If it goes wrong | Costly to unwind | You start again | Free replacement in trial |
| Payroll & compliance | Your overhead | Your risk | Handled in Vietnam |
| IP assignment | Yours | Often unclear | Contractual, yours |
| Continuity | Depends on retention | None | Managed, with backfill |
What the engagement feels like day to day
Your engineer joins your standups, works in your repository and follows your definition of done. A named account lead handles anything commercial so your technical leads never have to negotiate — they just get an engineer who shows up, communicates in English and closes tickets.
- In your tools, your process, your ceremonies
- Written daily updates where teams are distributed
- Monthly delivery and retention review
- Scale up, scale down or replace on agreed notice
