CDI Corporation was founded in 1950 to address the need of American businesses for large numbers of skilled engineers in order to maintain technologically competitive. The company offered an alternative way to staff specific projects without incurring the overhead associated with direct employees. Originally known as Comprehensive Designers, Inc., CDI hired additional engineers for client companies on a temporary basis with reduced benefits. CDI was among the first to offer temporary technical resources to manufacturing companies.

In 1972, CDI acquired the recruiting firm, Management Recruiters International. MRI grew quickly and established franchise offices across the country.

In 1973, the company’s name was officially changed to CDI Corporation. A 1982 feature article in “Forbes” magazine described CDI as the “Kelly Boys” of the engineering marketplace, focusing on the company’s unique approach to outplacement services [2]. CDI’s annual revenue climbed towards the $1 billion mark and the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1988.

Throughout the 90s, CDI invested in its staffing services with the acquisitions of Today’s Temporary, and eventually in London-based AndersElite. CDI’s Management Recruiters business, now known as MRINetwork added executive placement to its portfolio of recruiting services.

CEO, Walter Garrison, retired in 1997 and was succeeded as CEO by Mitch Wineick. After implementing a series of new business strategies, internet-based recruiting began via a partnership with Monster.com, and new offices opened in Mexico, Scotland, and Ireland.

In 2001, Roger Ballou was named the company’s new CEO and President. During his tenure, European aircraft manufacturer, Airbus, signed a multi-million dollar contract with CDI to design landing gear for the new Airbus A380 aircraft.

In 2010, CDI acquired professional infrastructure service provider, L.R. Kimball Company.

In 2011, Paulette Eberhart was named CEO and President and launched a new strategy for growth.
