WHAT ARE MY HIRING CHOICES?
Drake & Co. provides three hiring choices including Direct Hire, Temp-to-Hire, and Temporary Placements.

WHAT IS DRAKE & CO.'S AREA OF SPECIALIZATION?
We specialize in administrative, clerical, insurance and legal placements.

HOW DO I HIRE A DRAKE & CO. REFERRAL?
Before communication with our candidate about any position within your company, it is imperative to contact your Drake Placement Consultant to discuss terms and conditions. Failure to do so may result in a Direct Hire fee being billed to your company.

HOW AM I EXPECTED TO PAY DRAKE & CO.?
For Temporary and Temp-to-Hire placements, billing is weekly with terms and conditions stated on each invoice and timecard. The Temporary Employee will present a time card for your authorization each week. Please review the accuracy of the hours recorded before you sign. If the total number of hours exceeds 40 per week, you will be billed time and a half for the additional hours. A copy of the timecard is provided for your convenience. We have a minimum requirement of four hours worked per employee, per day. For Direct Hire Employees, once the offer is accepted, our accounting office will invoice the amount quoted by your Drake Placement Consultant.

WHAT ADDITIONAL COSTS ARE INVOLVED?
None! After a complete job description has been given, your Drake Placement Consultant will quote a Temporary or Temp-to-Hire rate or a Direct Hire fee. Please review the "Fee Schedule and Conditions" for further details.
The Temporary or Temp-to-Hire bill rate quoted includes unemployment, State and Federal taxes, worker's compensation, bonding, insurance, and any recruiting costs incurred while searching for the employee. Our Temporary Employees are covered by our insurer immediately upon placement with your firm for the duration of the assignment.
The Direct Hire fee covers all the charges involved in recruiting and placing that perfect employee.
