Danny Cahill, CPC

Danny Cahill started at Hobson Associates right out of college. He became its Rookie of the Year, top producer and general manager by the age of 26. At 27 he bought the company and has since built it into one of the country's largest search firms specializing in Software Sales, Bio Tech Sales and Industrial Sales talent. He is the only industry "guru" that runs a search firm every day. He does what you do.

He is the Educational Chairperson of the Pinnacle Society, 75 of the highest achievers in the industry. He personally mentors many members. He also owns and runs AccordingToDanny.com, an online training and mentoring company dedicated to enhancing the skills and jumpstarting the spirits of recruiters worldwide. His training products have become core tools for a generation of recruiters, and his keynote presentations have made him one of the most sought after speakers in the country. In a HireAbility survey he was overwhelmingly voted the industry's most popular speaker. NAPS elected him to the Hall of Fame in 2006 and last year he was given the first NAPS "Spirit" Award.

In his other life, as a playwright, he has had works produced off Broadway, and won both the Maxwell Anderson and the CAB Theatre Award for playwrights. He has written for CBS Television and Muscle and Fitness Magazine, as well as numerous Trade Journals. He received his Masters Degree in Literature from Wesleyan University and believes salespeople enjoy the world's only job security.
