What Our Clients Say

I would like to thank the Drake International team once again for helping us find a Millwright replacement back in February 2024. The new hire has become a huge asset to our team. His skill set and positive friendly attitude makes him a great teammate for all his coworkers! We will definitely reach out to Drake International in the future when we are in need of more skilled tradespeople.

Skilled Trades and Technical

We were having a difficult time finding staff, Drake was a great option. When I put my request in for a new staff member, Drake came through every time. Drake took the time to listen to my business needs and matched me up with the person they had that met my requirements, they didn’t just send me a body. By using Drake, all of my business needs were met, allowing me to focus on other areas.

Our company has been using Drake for quite some time, and the candidates they sent for interviews all met the criteria we were looking for. The positions we hire require a lot of attention to fine detail the candidates have been quick to learn a difficult process. If you identify your needs correctly, they can work with you to find qualified individuals for every position.
