Delivering Top Candidates in Raleigh-Durham

The Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle is the largest research park in the U.S. and houses hundreds of companies. In fact, Phreesia, a publicly traded New York technology firm, and Avaya Holdings Corp., a multinational information and technology company, have both relocated their company headquarters to the Raleigh-Durham area.

IBM became one of the first residents of Research Triangle Park in 1965 and remains there to this day. The analytics firm SAS is headquartered in the Research Triangle and employs more than 5,500 people at its headquarters in Cary, North Carolina.

Bright Wolf, a Durham-based technology company specializing in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, was recently acquired by the Fortune 100 technology company Cognizant.  As a result of the acquisition, Bright Wolf now leads a new Cognizant IoT innovation lab. Similarly, Raleigh-Durham is the former headquarters of the software company Red Hat, which grew into a multibillion-dollar company before it was acquired by IBM in 2019.

Other tech companies include Allscripts, Cisco, Citrix, Epic Games, Google, Infosys, Lenovo, Microsoft,  Oracle, and Red Hat. Today, the Research Triangle is also home to some of the biggest names in biotech and pharmaceuticals, including Argos Therapeutics and Merz’s North American Headquarters.
