CJ Hueston is proof that a company reflects its owner. When she blows into a room, everyone knows it. She hits the ground running before anyone else has landed. Like CJ, the atmosphere at CDI is energetic, organized, efficient, and professional.

"Yes," she admits, talking at the speed of light, "I'm type-A."

The Fast Track

It’s been that way since she started out as an educator. She quickly moved from the classroom to administration, and then district office administrator, when the lure of working in private industry arose.

Barron Collier Companies, a family-owned organization with interests in real estate and development, agriculture, and oil and gas exploration, quickly snatched CJ up. She became president of its fleet management company, International Automated Energy Systems (IAES).

She piloted the company through a period of major growth, working with international companies including Exxon, Shell Oil, Amoco, and Citgo. Along the way, she brokered a partnership with Visa to provide a national fleet card for fuel purchases across the country.

The Vision

At IAES, CJ’s focus was on hiring – itself a monumental task. She knew how important it was to choose the right people, capitalize on their strengths, and put them together in teams that complemented each other. She often wished for outside help – someone who was always on the lookout for qualified people for her company and would bring them to her attention. After 12 years in the corporate world, CJ did just that – forming Corporate Dimensions, Inc., to provide companies with the recruiting and placement services she envisioned.

The Reality

Her company continues its path of rapid growth through CJ’s vision-become-reality – two divisions, Executive Recruitment and Professional Placement – synergistically entwined by CJ and a talented staff driven to excellence. Says CJ, “It’s my philosophy that by embracing both sides of the equation, we are the most valuable source for those who seek professionals, and for professionals who seek a new challenge and opportunity.”

People create excellence in a company – not the job description, not the policy manual, not even the product – CJ Hueston, president and owner of CDI.
