In 1997, Amy joined Hobson Associates and was recognized as Rookie of the Year. By the end of that year she was promoted to Associate and shifted her focus from engineering to placing sales and sales management professionals in the software sector. Amy's niche is the content management and web analytics space. In 2002, Amy was made a Partner at Hobson Associates. Additionally, Amy was also promoted to Director of Training, responsible for the training and ongoing development of all new hires at Hobson Associates.
Also in 2001, Amy and Danny Cahill co-founded the training company, AccordingToDanny to take Danny's hugely successful training business in a new direction. Danny's time tested methodologies were already implemented through his seminars and tapes in thousands of firms, but the training business had hit a wall. How could they reach more firms faster? How could they use technology to bring training to the industry every day? While a one day seminar brings a powerful shot of energy, how could they support it weeks and months later? That was their mission and from it, the interactive website and webcasts were born.
On the training side, Amy has spoken at numerous retreats across the country.
She designed and delivered the hugely popular
Principles of Recruiting webcast.
She has done private in-house Rookie Retreats for global search firms. She played
lead roles in
Deconstructing Danny, the motivational key note that is among the
best selling training products in the staffing industry's history, and its sequel,
Reconstructing Danny. The attendees of the 2007 NAPS convention voted Amy among
the 4 top conference speakers and invited her to participate in the Best of the
Best Speakers panel.
