US engineering and IT recruiter CDI says it expects a charge of $3.6m (£2.54m) in Q4 2015 in connection to the restructuring of its business.

In a statement released today, CDI said roughly $2.5m of the charge relates to employee severance and roughly $1.1m to facility consolidations and contract termination costs. 

In addition, the group said it expects to incur restructuring charges in 2016 of around $0.5m to $0.6m, primarily related to further consolidation of facilities and systems, and employee severance costs.

Providing further information on the restructure, CDI said it includes:
