Prime50

A huge change in the demographics of the workforce has created a unique opportunity for Drake to introduce its latest solution — Prime50

Prime50 specializes in creating employment opportunities and other career services for job seekers aged 50+ and the employers that recruit and retain them. Statistics have shown that with an aging workforce—due to people living longer and wanting to continue their careers, along with a decline in the birthrate—employers have a critical need to retain experienced top performing talent. There have been overwhelming misconceptions of the 50+ age group. The advantage and the measurable results of harnessing their experience and knowledge, rather than letting them walk out the door, is what inspired the creation of Prime50.

Prime50 offers both 50+ job seekers, and the employers who want to benefit from their experience, a range of services that are invaluable to each.

Job Board
The Prime50 job board is located on Prime50's exclusive website (www.prime50.com) and allows job seekers to register and post their resumes free of charge. Employers that want to recruit from this experienced pool of candidates can register and post job opportunities for any position, in any industry.

Recruitment
Focus on your core business. Let Prime50 recruit the right candidate—with the right skills, knowledge and behaviour—for your unique business need. Prime50 will source, interview, perform skills and behavioural assessments, check references and recommend the best people from our database of experienced candidates.

Flexible Staff and Interim Management

Employers may wish to hire contingent staff—part time, temporary staff or on contract—for certain projects, or interim positions, including former employees that the employer is precluded from directly hiring back because of policy restrictions. Prime50 can hire and payroll these individuals for you, eliminating the costs of recruitment, paper work and administration.
