I am a non current private pilot (haven't flown for about 15 years) that need a 107 license for work to fly DJI drones.

my employer is not going to pay around $1,000 to get me current again (it's been a while. I will need some ground school and some practice to get to my groove).

Can I just take the 107 course and only get the remote pilot? or since I'm a pilot now, I need to make my private pilot current as well?

See 14 CFR 107.61(d).

If you do not meet the flight review requirement of 61.56, then you do not qualify to get a Remote Pilot License by taking the training described in 107.73.

However, you can still get one by passing the knowledge test described in 107.74, same as a non-pilot.
