In 1950, the business started its operations as Comprehensive Designers, Inc. Back then, it was focused on providing technical services to the growing automotive, manufacturing and defense industries in Pennsylvania. It was Walter R. Garrison, who restructured the business after joining the company in 1956. He was once an engineer at Boeing and purchased the company in 1961 when he was functioning as its Chief Engineer. Together with two colleagues, they have worked on company and diversified its offerings.
Prior to the change of name from Comprehensive Designers, Inc. to CDI Corporation, the company has purchased Management Recruiters International. The latter is a venture that focused on providing permanent management talent to its clients. With the purchased business, CDI Corporation has further expanded its scope in staffing services. By 1982, they have ventured into temporary staffing services of unskilled and clerical workers. This diversification added several nationwide offices to the business that bears the name Today’s Staffing.
Today, CDI runs their business through three major business segments: Staffing Services, Technology Solutions and Engineering Services. Their Staffing arm provides workforce management solutions, their Technology unit provides solutions to support client’s IT operations while their Engineering division services the aerospace, industrial, government services, infrastructure, oil, gas and chemical industries. In addition, CDI also has AndersElite and MRINetwork as two of its subsidiary companies.
For more than 60 years now, the company has helped other businesses be more productive and profitable while maximizing growth potential at the same time. They have been very proactive in tailoring their services to the unique needs of their clients and by so doing has become a global leader in talent acquisition, recruitment process outsourcing and managed program staffing.
