company information from a back-end MS SQL Database by using

Design a simple interface that allows users to view information on recruitment companies. Users can search for
recruiters based on a number of search options which are: Company Name (textbox), Sector Expertise (dropdown
list), Category (dropdown list) and Location (dropdown list).
To help users search for a Company name, use the jQuery UI autocomplete functionality in "Company Name" field
(jQuery UI autocomplete is already used elsewhere in Our products). (http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/)
