When I was a child, my mother said to me, "If you become a soldier you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the Pope." 

Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.

 

-----------------------------------

 Howe, Cope & Catania, Inc. is a retained 'Boutique' Executive Search Firm which specializes in Human Resources recruiting. Our success has been built by establishing and maintaining a very broad network of Human Resources professionals. A client who retains Howe, Cope & Catania, to fill a position is in essence renting our credibility with many thousands of talented HR professionals.

  

 

The three founders of our firm are Bill Howe, Liz Cope and Chas Catania. Bill Howe, is a former Korn Ferry partner who also worked for several other retained search firms. He decided in the early 1980's that having so many partners and such a large hands-off list was hampering his ability to fill searches with the best quality candidates within a reasonable period of time. He opened Howe & Associates in 1986 in Greenwich, CT and Liz joined him then. In 1994, Liz was named a partner in the firm. Chas started in the recruiting business in 1985 with Fortune Consultants. He later joined Andover Group as a Senior Partner and a few years later, founded Catania & Associates. In 1993 he joined Bill and Liz, and in 1994 the name of the firm was changed to Howe, Cope & Catania. Over time, we came to specialize in Human Resources. Bill Howe has now retired, but he was such a strong mentor to Liz and continues to be a good friend to both Liz and Chas, that the firm continues to bear his name.

 

 

 

What makes us unique:

 

Liz and Chas personally manage every search. They perform most of their own research and are involved from the first day of the search. What you see is what you get.

 

 

 

One of the complaints we sometimes hear about some other search firms is that the Partner(s) shows up to meet the client, and then again late in the process (to help close the deal), but they are nowhere to be found during the search itself. 

 

We are extremely hands-on; Liz and Chas ARE Howe, Cope & Catania. WE develop the specs. with the client, WE make the contacts with prospective candidates, WE screen them, present them to the client, and assist in every facet of the hiring process. Our repeat business is our best reference.

  

We maintain an extensive database, currently over 33,000 names strong. In short we feel that our smallness is our competitive advantage. Since we have been doing this (exclusive to HR) for a number of years, we have developed extremely close relationships with many of our candidates and several of our clients, to the point where we consider many of them friends. We take our responsibility to make good matches very seriously.
