Smarter screening to reduce injury risk before placement.

Purpose‑built for roles with physical demands, this innovative screening technology helps organisations reduce preventable injuries, improve placement confidence, and ensure a candidate’s physical capabilities are matched to the specific requirements of each role, before they start work. Delivered as part of Drake’s standard recruitment service, this capability sets a new benchmark for safe, data‑driven workforce placement.

The challenge: Assessing physical capability reliably.

Many roles across warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, trades and other industries involve lifting, repetitive movement, awkward postures and physical load. Historically, physical screening has relied on self‑reported health questionnaires or manual assessment processes that are time‑consuming, subjective and inconsistent.

These approaches often fail to identify functional limitations linked to real‑world job demands, increasing the likelihood of musculoskeletal injuries.

The solution: Drake’s 3D motion screening.

Drake’s physical capability screening uses AI-powered, camera‑based 3D motion capture to provide objective insights into a candidate’s physical movement capacity. The assessment analyses posture, stability, mobility, symmetry and common work‑related movements including bending, reaching, lifting and overhead tasks.

Candidates complete a 5–8 minute assessment, using any camera‑enabled device. No wearables, specialist equipment or on‑site medical assessments are required. The technology analyses real‑world functional movement, including:

Rather than relying on what candidates disclose they can do, this new, innovative 3D technology provides objective insights into how they actually move using artificial intelligence data motion and ergonomic benchmarks.
