I need to create an Employment form on a site. The options seems to be Freeform and Forms. IS one better than the other for this? pretty equal?

IMHO one isn’t better than the other per say. It’s really a case of looking at the features, which tend to be pretty similar, and picking one that best fits.

Good to know. I assume both save the Form data as entries… correct?

@russ_kern Freeform does not save as entries. Freeform has it’s own database table for submissions.

I can’t speak to forms.

Freeform allows you to view submission via the Freeform_Next:Submissionstemplate tag.
