The CDP Advantage: Specialized, Personal, Precise
CDP Solutions operates as a boutique search firm, which means every client relationship receives direct, senior-level attention — not hand-offs to junior recruiters or templated outreach. The firm’s deep roots in metals and industrial sectors give it a meaningful advantage when identifying candidates who understand the realities of aluminum production, rolling, extrusion, casting, and fabrication. Successful aluminum recruiting at this level requires cultivated industry relationships built over years, giving clients access to professionals who may not be actively searching but are open to the right conversation. That’s exactly what CDP Solutions has developed.
With a primary focus on Pennsylvania and its industrial corridors, and broader reach across the Mid-Atlantic region, CDP Solutions combines regional market knowledge with national search capability through an affiliation with a global network of over 600 offices. For hard-to-fill aluminum recruiting assignments, this structure means the search doesn’t stop at a geographic boundary.
