Pros

Office location is convenient & the office setup (tech, desk, keyboard, headset, etc) is nice.

Cons

Owners are never onsite, so they micromanage a lot. They basically hover over your shoulder 24/7 and rarely relinquish any sort of independence in terms of business processes. So if you need that kind of supervision this is the place for you. They play favorites and unfavorites and once you are cast as "unfavorite" that will never change, no matter how much money you make them. One owner in particular is very emotionally manipulative and will threaten your job security over differences in opinions, personality, lifestyle choices, etc. This company has extremely high turn over (shocking I know). In the time that I was there we averaged 6 employees leaving per year( in an office of 10-12 total employees- so half the workforce would quit). They also have a super vague non-compete that they make you sign and then threaten to pursue legal action when you leave even though they operate in an extremely niche market. They pay their employees below market average for Wilmington, claiming they can make big money in commission but that rarely ever happens. They also give really low annual raises. They deny PTO request frequently and benefits suck ( High premiums and deductables). Notice how the "positive" reviews are from a while ago or follow a trend. hint. hint. Final note: only work here if you absolutely do not have a choice. would give it a negative star if i could.

Pros

I worked at Dunhill for 4+ years and am grateful for the opportunities I was given. I developed a great rapport with the owner, Chris, learned a lot, and grew so much as a recruiter! The workload can fluctuate (like in any job) but the work life balance is always great. Commissions are uncapped and recruiters have the opportunity to develop their own business if desired. The company often orders in lunch for birthdays (or just because), meets for happy hour, and hosts get-togethers on the owner's boat. They have a good group of recruiters who are more friends than colleagues. Top performers for the year get a one-week, all expenses paid trip to a high-end resort. During my 4+ years, I earned the trip twice and went to Costa Rica and Mexico!

Cons

Work can fluctuate (busy/slow), which can take a toll on commissions. But overall things even out and the up swing will come! I promise!

Pros

If you love working really hard for very low commission and salary then this is the place for you. You also get your own office with a fancy stand up desk.

Cons

During my interview I was told no one in the company makes less than $65k a year. After starting I found out that maybe 1 person might make over that. Training consist of sitting next to a recruiter with a total of 1 year of experience for a few hours. The owners are hardly in the office and when they are don't expect them to converse much with you or even act like they care you are there. On average they run an office of 10 - 12 recruiters on staff and in the past 12 months they have had 8 quit. Being a very small company the healthcare plan is not very good and very expensive compared to competing companies. Average commission payout is anywhere from $250-$500 per placement. Base Salary is around $30-$40K so you can do the math on how many placements you need to make halfway decent money. FYI they work on only government jobs which require clearances to start, some of which can take months. Good luck!
