Permanent Staffing

Villa Food Ltd/ St. Hubert
"The pre-screening of potential candidates done by the team at Drake is a real time saver. They only present the candidate determined by the criteria I set. And, they always adapt to my schedule for interviews."
- Jason F Mallet, Supervisor

Robco
"I am writing to inform you that we were very please with Drakes personal help in hiring our outside sales representative. The people we dealt with were responsive, helpful and professional."
- Jean Gosselin, VP of Sales

Office Interiors
"My experiences with Drake have been excellent. The employment candidates sent to me have all been good candidates for hire and the individual hired from the Drake's candidates is doing a great job. I would definitely recommend Drake for future recruiting needs."
- Guy J. Gaudet

Office Interiors
"First and foremost, I would like to thank you for all your help in coordinating the interviews for the candidates we met last week. It seems to be getting more difficult to find well-qualified applicants, but the individuals you forwarded to us met the skills and abilities criteria required for the role. Having the candidates pre-screened allows Office Interiors, and myself in particular, to focus on more macro and strategic matters, as opposed to having to spend time sifting through and reviewing a few hundred resumes. Out of the forwarded candidates, we have identified three to move forward through the selection process, and once the references are completed we foresee making an offer within the next few days. Again, thanks so much for your assistance in this important endeavour, and I look forward to working with you in the future."
- John Mullally, Director of Human Resources

International Development and Support Services Inc.
"International Development and Support Services (IDSS) is a niche accounting service provider to US based companies. As a highly specialized company finding the right staff is paramount to our continued success. During this past year, with Drake's help, I have had 3 excellent candidates placed within our organization. Drake spent time to get to know our company, our business and our corporate culture. As the owner of IDSS, I would not damage our unique and highly productive team by introducing a new employee who would not "fit". Drake understood that and took time with each one of our staffing requests to make sure they understood our needs and our desires. By utilizing tools like P3 for behavioural assessments, personality profiles and job profile analysis, Drake made candidate selection more scientific and from our perspective produced a 'best fit' solution. Drake maintained daily communication with me during the candidate selection process and continues to send emails and calls to make sure we are still satisfied with the people we hired and to let me know when she sees a candidate that has the skill sets, personality and attitude that says 'IDSS. IDSS has not only found a great staffing company, we have a valuable team member in our HR department. Drake has been a good company to do business with; a company who offered a "soup to nuts" solution to our staffing needs and I have not regretted inviting Drake onto our team when we have staffing requirements."
- Patty Scott, President

Atlantic Provinces Chambers of Commerce
"Since 2006, Drake International has helped us fill three administrative assistant positions in our Moncton office. We appreciate the efficient service Drake has provided, the proficiency of its staff, and the ease of the company's on-line services."
- Bill Denyar, President & CEO

A&P Food Stores
"We have partnered with Drake for over 15 years! They always have a friendly live voice with great turnaround on filling those urgent needs!"
- Louisa Furtado

Instant Custom Signs
"I wanted you to know that we've just hired a salesperson through your Mississauga branch. The service was excellent and all the candidates met our expectations. However, two stood head and shoulders above the rest and we were able to hire the candidate of choice. We expect this new person to take us to new heights in sales and profitability by securing business in areas we haven't tapped into. It was good to use the services of a company that purchases from us."
- Drew Brims, Owner

CSA Group
"There are a lot of recruiting agencies out there, but our company has continued to use Drake throughout the years. Drake has consistently provided us with dependable, courteous, speedy service. It makes my job as a recruiter much easier having Drake in the background to lean on. I can’t say enough about them."
- Clare Lunnen

Atlantic Business Interiors
"Atlantic Business Interiors is an organization with ever changing requirements. As we grow in the NB marketplace we struggle to find suitable candidates using the traditional methods. For the last 6 months I have dealing with Kristen Robinson at Drake, who has gone above and beyond when trying to find a candidate that will fit our culture. She conducts herself with the highest level of professionalism and is continuously provide me with the information I require when looking at possible candidates. Drake has proven to be my source for new employees when we are looking for talent. Kristen, Thank you for your hard work and I look forward to our ongoing relationship.
- Steven Milbury, Sales Manager

"I have confidence in Drake because I have confidence in you and your team. You are SO professional and SO reliable in a world where sadly many people can't even spell either of those words let alone understand what they mean! You make my job easier because I can assure my clients that their request will be filled when we contact Drake."
- Sean Carney
