At Drake, we are committed to protecting the privacy of the information that
you give to us.
This document explains how we at Drake collect, use and disclose your personal
information for our recruitment, flexible staffing and training businesses.
What we do

that respond to the needs of both employers and applicants by helping to place
the right person in the right position. Drake also supplies temporary
contractors to a wide range of businesses in many industries ("
Clients").
Drake also provides services such as training, development and e-learning,
assessment and certification, career and organisation development, business

It is up to you to choose the information that you give to Drake.
If you choose not to provide Drake with particular information that has been
requested, Drake may not be best placed to provide the service that you have
