Samantha Howie

I’ve been with our firm since 2010 in our New York office where I serve as an Associate Director delivering exceptional Human Resources talent up to the senior level. I partner with corporations of all types, with a concentration on financial, legal and professional services, and fintech firms. My diverse clients range from noted global brands to fast-moving startups in search of HR leaders and operators to build out their teams. 

There’s no doubt that HR strategy and well-planned operations are essential to the health, growth, and prosperity of corporations. Even as HR increasingly adopts data-driven, tech-centric approaches, the people aspect of the field has never been more crucial. Professionals who can synthesize the two are at its leading edge.

I’ve built my career on integrity and trust, values which have naturally yielded very long-term professional relationships. My candid and consultative approach encourages a dialogue where challenges and opportunities are uncovered. High emotional intelligence and an uncanny sense for the intangibles are my greatest assets. These coupled with my two decades of in-depth HR market knowledge provide the agile, industry-wide vantage point from which I launch customized search strategies. By serving as a seamless extension of your brand, I can quickly deliver the best talent to you. 

My candidates find me equally effective and express gratitude for my pragmatic approach and honest yet nurturing counsel. I thrive on advising them throughout their careers while supporting them as together we assess and leverage the key skillsets that differentiate them in a crowded market, linking them to the employers best suited to their sustained growth and increasing success. 

I sit on Frazer Jones’ Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and I am passionate about legislative activism and community outreach, as well as fundraising for causes I believe in, particularly those related to equity and children. In my home life, I love to nerd out about political strategy, chat about poetry and literature, as well as travel, cook, and, most of all, style food. I write about and post my creations on social media (just for fun!) with a focus on attractively presented yet super achievable dishes for those busy HR weeknights.
