Drake New Zealand Ltd ensures that it complies with the Privacy Act 2020 in all respects. Please take the time to view Drake’s Privacy Policy in its entirety, which can be found on our website.
For ease of reference, a summary of the most common queries on how Drake receives, handles and communicates information is described below.
Drake New Zealand Ltd is committed to protecting the privacy of the information that you give to us. This statement explains how Drake will collect, use, and disclose your personal information for our flexible staffing, recruitment, and other business activities.
Drake New Zealand uses highly skilled consultants to provide both permanent and temporary employment opportunities that respond to the needs of our clients and applicants. We do this through matching suitably qualified and experienced candidates to the employment opportunities available.
Drake also provides a wide range of Human Resource solutions, including training and e-learning, assessment and certification, career and organisational development, business technologies, health and safety, and outplacement services.
Some examples of the types of personal information that may be held by Drake include your name, date of birth, contact details, work history, resumé, identification documents (e.g. passport, birth certificate), right to work verification in New Zealand, any qualifications and licences, salary and benefits information, and any relevant general information about you.
If you consent, we may also collect sensitive information including health and injury history, criminal background, and union membership details. It is your choice what information you provide to Drake. If you choose not to provide Drake with the information that has been requested, Drake may not be able to assist you in gaining employment and/or provide the services that you have requested.
• Directly from you, when you provide information by phone, in person or in documents such as an application form or resumé.
• By contacting the referees that you nominated.
• From clients to whom services are provided as part of our contracting business.
• By searching publicly available information (for example, via the internet).
In our recruitment and contracting businesses, the personal information that we collect from you is used to provide recruitment and contracting services, for example, by matching suitable applicants or candidates to fill the client’s needs. In our non-recruitment businesses, your personal information is used to enable Drake to deliver the product or services that you require. Across our businesses generally, we may use your personal information for related secondary purposes, including for internal training to improve the delivery of our services.
We will disclose personal information about you to clients for the purpose of recruiting you for specific employment opportunities, for supplying your services to the client as a labour-hire worker, or (with your consent) to market your services to clients and prospects. We may also disclose your personal information to the following parties outside of Drake:
• Drake’s agents, contractors (i.e. authorised persons required to administer our computer systems, or other recruitment suppliers where we are working on a joint recruitment project), professional advisers and/or representatives.
• You and your referees in making enquiries.
• Your financial institution (i.e. bank) and others in relation to your remuneration and benefits.
• Government bodies or other authorities, as required and/or authorised by law.
• Drake’s related companies and any other company involved in a corporate restructure by Drake.
Where personal information is disclosed outside New Zealand, Drake will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate privacy protections are in place and that such disclosures comply with the Privacy Act 2020.
You have the right to access your personal information, subject to some exemptions allowed by law. Under the Privacy Act 2020, Drake must respond to your request within 20 working days. If you would like to do so, please contact your consultant or our Privacy Officer. For security reasons, you may need to put your request in writing.
