Hi Mark - not sure if you know this already, but just in case. We use Blackboard Community System as our LTA portal (ie what used to be the "student portal" but also recognising and developing a staff role for those engaged in supporting LTA and their professional development. This runs alongside the existing staff intranet).
We've used it since 2005 and in addition to its existing function we are also currently piloting it with applicants.
We have found it a good portal tool as it is familiar technology to systems staff and end users, it offers good integration to our key systems and provides us with sufficient flexibility to develop roles for particular user groups.
Best
Louise
