If you run a fabrication operation in Iowa and the next hire could shape how your shop performs, CDP Solutions is ready to help. We work as Iowa Metal Fabrication Recruiters for owners, plant leaders, and hiring managers who need people with real metalworking experience, not just a polished resume. Our approach is consultative and high-touch: we learn what your operation needs, then we find leaders and specialists who fit it.
A Hiring Partner Who Studies Your Shop Before We Search
Every fabrication floor runs differently. Some shops live and die by precision welding and tight tolerances, others by throughput, custom work, or a demanding customer base. Before we contact a single candidate, we talk with you about your products, your culture, your equipment, and the gap this hire needs to close. That conversation shapes a tailored search strategy, and it is the reason our work with Iowa Metal Fabrication Recruiters clients stays focused on long-term hiring success rather than a quick fill.
How We Run the Search from Brief to Signed Offer
We start with a detailed brief, then identify and approach candidates directly, including people who are not looking at job boards. We screen for technical depth, leadership style, and fit with your team, and we present only the people we would stand behind. Employers who hire through Iowa Metal Fabrication Recruiters like ours get a partner who stays involved through interviews, feedback, and offer conversations, so you are never managing the process alone.
Fabrication Roles We Know How to Fill

Why Hiring Leaders Treat Us as a Partner, Not a Vendor
Our work is personal by design. You deal directly with people who understand your industry, and the relationships we have built across metals and industrial sectors help us reach specialized talent that general recruiters often miss. Our metals industry expertise means we already speak your language, from fabrication processes to the pressures of running a production schedule. That is what separates Iowa Metal Fabrication Recruiters with real sector knowledge from a generic staffing desk. You can learn more about the person behind that approach on LinkedIn, or read our background for the full story.
