Established in 1978, Leanne and Gary Starr opened the doors of Drake & Company as a fledgling professional staffing firm. They started with nothing more than a pen, a pad of paper, and a telephone. The idea for the company arose from local demand. The pair saw an opportunity for an employment agency that knew the unique needs of the community.

I cannot recommend Drake & Company more! I worked mainly with Lexi and Alisha, and a bit with Chrysta and Shane - everyone was just amazing and so incredibly helpful. Their professionalism is outstanding and they go above and beyond in supporting you on your job search, from follow up texts and phone calls, to helping you prepare for interviews. They helped me find an amazing new job and I am very grateful for their help. If I ever find myself on the job hunt again, they will definitely be the first people I contact for help.

I applied for a position that was posted by Drake & Company, and received a call from Lexi a few hours later! She was very friendly on the phone, leaving me excited to see what was to come next. The interview process happened the very next day (which went so smoothly) and by the next week I was placed with a company I'm loving! Lexi's follow up is A1. I would definitely recommend Drake & Company to anyone that's looking for an Office Professional position!

Alisha was one of the most helpful, resourceful, and all around great person to have on your side while looking for a position! She was always willing to listen to what I had to say and work with me to find the best position. 100% would recommend working with Drake Staffing Solutions and if you do, ask for Alisha!

I applied to Drake & Company on Tuesday and staff members reached out to me the very next day. Bethany conducted a wonderful and thorough interview with me this morning and I love the transparency the agency has in its placement practices. After my interactions with both her and Shane, I feel confident that I have a team of people working to place me in a position that will both be a good fit for me and for my prospective employer.
I will update this review if needed, but so far I have been very pleased with my experience. Update: I actually got hired by Drake and Company as an account manager! I still think very highly of them and am very excited to be working here. I thought I would update for the sake of transparency and hope to be working with many of you soon!

IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING IT, JUST APPLY I got involved with Drake & Company in late April/early May 2021. At this time, I was a junior in college looking for summer work in between semesters. I had anticipated that it would be very difficult to find temporary work in a professional environment, but Alexis Acker, who helped me through the job-searching process, was able to introduce me to a variety of opportunities best suited to my abilities.
By mid-May, I had already been hired for a temporary position at a law firm. I truly couldn't have had a better experience with Drake as I'm currently working my dream summer job. I've always wanted to work at a law firm and the work environment is fantastic, so I'm absolutely thrilled to have found this opportunity through Drake & Company. Based upon my experience with Alexis, Drake doesn't just treat you like a client; they treat you like someone they genuinely care about.
So if you're having trouble finding professional work, I highly recommend you look into this company. My experience was so positive that I have already actually recommended it to several of my close friends.
