Dunhill of Wilmington was started by two staffing professionals with over eleven years combined experience in the professional search industry. Both of our owners had spent a lot of time on the NC coast and recognized not only its beauty, but also, the area's potential. While we work on a nationwide scale, from Boston to LA, we're based in a strong, economically growing area just two hours east of Research Triangle Park.
Wilmington is home to a growing university and has attracted a number of technology and pharmaceutical companies. It is sometimes referred to as "Hollywood East" producing more movies than any other location in the country outside of LA and NYC.
Over the past six years we have grown and added individuals to our staff from a variety of backgrounds to handle our clients varied needs. Our staff has come to us from up and down the eastern seaboard, including NH/MA, NYC, DC, and FL, so we also provide a “locals” perspective for many of the regions where we work. Their backgrounds include telecommunications, software, finance, government contracting, and sales.
