PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CDI Corp. (NYSE: CDI) today announced that its CDI-Talent Management division, along with its alliance associate, WorldConcert, has been named to HRO Today Magazine's "Enterprise Bakers Dozen" list of top recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firms.

HRO Today covers the latest industry trends in human resources outsourcing, services, shared services and operations. Each year, the magazine compiles three lists - Enterprise Bakers Dozen, Global Leaders and Leading Project/On Demand Providers - based on surveys completed by human resources executives currently utilizing RPO services. This year's results are based on more than 375 submittals, each rating RPO providers on the breadth of their service, the size of the programs they manage and the quality of service provided.

While previously appearing on the Global Leaders list, this is the first time CDI has been named to the coveted Bakers Dozen which is considered by HRO Today to be the "flagship product of the survey" singling out the "top providers in RPO". The ranking reflects the service provided by CDI-Talent Management, its Canadian affiliate, CDI Professional Services, Ltd., and its alliance associate, WorldConcert - the RPO division of global executive recruiting firm, WorldBridge Partners.

"In an industry with more than 300 providers, CDI has developed an RPO offering in just a few years into one of the top RPO providers in the space," said Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today Magazine. "They have been able to bring on some very strong brands as customers and develop good programs that have solidly anchored them as a competitor with the other top tier firms. This is their first year on the Enterprise Bakers Dozen but we expect to see them consistently in the future."

"The WorldConcert team is pleased to be part of the Baker's Dozen," said Jack Downing, Managing Partner of WorldConcert. "Through our network of 9 offices and over 100 recruiters, and through the global reach of CDI, we are proud that our hands-on approach to delivering 100% accountability has been recognized by our clients."

"We are excited to be included on the Bakers Dozen list and appreciate the confidence our clients have shown in the services we provide," said Ed Zetusky, Senior Vice President of CDI-Talent Management. "We look forward to continuing on this positive path of providing world-class RPO services to our clients through the CDI suite of products and alliances with quality RPO providers like WorldConcert."
