How do you combat the talent shortages currently being experienced in the search for executive roles?

Our approach to the market is targeted, selective and disciplined. We often know the key talent in the market through our established networks by ability and reputation before making approaches; in other words, we know the fit and capability behind the resume or LinkedIn profile. At Drake Executive, we have an extensive and established network of connections across both the passive and active executive job market.

What our clients and candidates say.

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.

We use Drake for the P3 profile reporting on potential hires. This has proven invaluable and has lifted our 'great hires' ratio. We use it for all sales positions, and most recently used it for our management role.
