CDP Solutions focuses exclusively on metals and industrial manufacturing sectors, including aluminum production and processing.

CDP Solutions places talent across a wide spectrum of functions within aluminum and metals businesses.

Yes. CDP Solutions has dedicated expertise in aluminum extrusion recruiting, understanding the process-specific knowledge and technical background that employers in this space require.

Every engagement begins with a thorough intake process.

From there, the firm develops a targeted search strategy rather than sending a high volume of loosely matched candidates. This approach reflects CDP Solutions’ commitment to quality over volume and long-term fit over quick placements — a standard that sets these aluminum recruiters apart from high-turnover placement shops.
