    Creating a web based applicant portal - MS Access or another solution?


    For about three years I have been using the forms available on Google Drive to accept online employment applications. I have then copied the data from the spreadsheet it collects data on to an Access table. I have recently been exploring the SharePoint server and it's capabilities. I would like to create an all inclusive Applicant Tracking System similar to those you might see on a major employers website, which would allow an applicant to log-in and complete an application. Is this more a function of website design or are they using something similar to Access? Is the Web App version of Access comparable?

    I'm a fan of exposing the database via .net web services with Jquery used to manage the data requests.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
