Predicateislinking verb

Complementsomeonecomplement (antecedent)

Clausewho has ... experience ... and enjoys working ...relative clause with two verbs (has / enjoys)

The backbone is "The candidate is someone" — after the complement "someone," a long relative clause "who ..." describes that someone. Inside this relative clause there are two verbs, "has (experience)" and "enjoys (working)," joined by "and," both governed by the single subject "who." Also, "enjoys working" shows that "enjoy" is followed by a gerund (-ing).

Each applicant must submit a resume and a cover letter through our careers page before the application deadline of April 30.

Predicatemust submitobligation modal "must"

Objecta resume and a cover letterobject (two items)

Modifierthrough our careers pagemeans (through ...)

Modifierbefore the application deadline of April 30time limit (of = specifying)

The subject "Each applicant" is treated as singular because of "each," and the verb follows suit. After the obligation modal "must" comes the base verb "submit," and two objects are joined by "and." The trailing "through ..." (means) and "before ..." (time limit) are both adverbial phrases modifying the verb, and the "of" in "the deadline of April 30" specifies that the deadline is April 30.
