History

Established in 2001.

CBI Group is proud of our history because it has made us who we are today. CBI Group was founded by Chris Burkhard, who built the company on a simple premise, our focus on the customer. We have been serving customers with professional recruitment solutions since 2001.

We got here by being on the forefront of our industry and by being pioneers. Chris grew up in the industry and spent most of his career before CBI at Placers, a leading staffing company in Delaware for almost 30 years. His father established The Placers as the first independent temporary services company in Delaware in the early 70s and Chris established CBI Group as Delaware first’s recruitment outsourcing and consulting firm — both in response to the workplace realities of the day.
