BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I enjoyed working with my legal placement professional because she was very accessable and was available to talk through my issues. BCG was very helpful in disseminating the resume and mediating the initial discussions. BCG is number 1!

I felt like my legal placement professional was very thorough, very timely and I think she was very attentive to what my interests were. In other words, I didn't get a bunch of inquiries or she didn't send me or talk to me about opportunities that she knew probably weren't going to be in my wheelhouse or of interest to me. She took into account very quickly and very thoroughly what I was looking for because that saved me the trouble of turn down things that I likely wasn't going to be interested in. BCG saved me time, obviously I was looking for a job while working in my current one and that can be a challenge to do that, so for me, the most valuable thing was saving me time.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Harrisons' Team?

The fact that it was mostly automated. I would be asked to approve firms and approve jobs that my credentials would be sent to. This was mostly done electronically which I found very convenient.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

BCG did all the leg work. BCG found the job openings and reported them to me so all I had to do was approve the opening. It saved me time from having to go through individual law firm websites.

Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

BCG was the best. I did work with a couple other recruiter's and from my personal observation they had less access to job openings. I heard much more from BCG than I did from the other recruiters. The other recruiters tended to not be automated and I would get a phone call to discuss it in real time which often wasn't convenient and we ended up playing phone tag a lot. BCG was the best because of the volume of openings that BCG was able to get access to and because of the convenient nature of the interaction.

My favorite thing about BCG Attorney Search was the attention to detail. They had very quick reaction times whenever I needed them. They made the job search easier because I didn't have to search on each firms website for potential openings.

It really seemed like my legal placement professional and BCG had a plan and were willing to work the problem. I had contacted other recruiters but I would very quickly get back a "No, there isn't really anything out there" whereas with my legal placement professional and BCG there was initially a long list of stuff. It was more of a "well, you may not be exactly the description they are looking for but a lot of times when people see a certain resume they want to talk to you." She was always very pleasant to talk to and seemed to have a good plan and moving forward. She seemed to be on top of a number of possibilities to at least explore, which was a lot better than any other search firm that I have contacted. It felt like progress was always being made.The online portal [made my job search easier] and also she gave me advice and we discuss things about my resume, which I thought was very helpful and gave me pointers from her perspective. It seemed like she vetted a lot of the firms first and then would give me the listing of firms and ask me to go through them. It wasn't a narrow focus and more of a broad focus and saying we have these number of firms, maybe you don't fit exactly what they are looking for but she would forward my information to them anyway because sometimes getting your resume sparks an idea or maybe they start thinking that maybe this person would fit. I think that is actually what happened with the firm where I landed, quite frankly. They hadn't even officially started advertising for a position and they got my resume it fit something else they thought would be a really good fit for them.my legal placement professional was a very easy person to work with. She offered great advice and wouldn't over inflate advice she was getting. She would tread the line between being hopeful and realistic. The products that BCG offered really seemed to be advantageous and very helpful. If I ever hear of another friend that is looking to make a move to another state or make a transition, the first place that I will point them is with my legal placement professional and BCG . Ya'll seem to really have developed an effective system. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's? A. I have worked with a few and as far as effectiveness I would definitely put you at the top!

I liked the ease of the process! I appreciated that I got the updates for the positions and that I could just click on the link, I appreciated the reminders that helped keep me on task, and remind me to take 5 minutes to review the jobs. You guys were the only recruiters in all of my time as a legal professional that got me a job. Every other time, the recruiter didn't help or it became really clear that they weren't on my side. You guys were the only recruiters that ever worked for me. I would rank you guys #1.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Becca?

Becca was extremely helpful! She was available by phone whenever I needed her and she gave me some helpful hints on the interview process. Ultimately, she got me exactly the job I was looking for.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

She found the job for me so didn't have to find it. She applied to the position for me and it wasn't even a listed position. I didn't have to go through the astonishingly burdensome process of uploading a resume and having it auto populate wrong, which I had to do on a number of the other websites/firms where I applied. She did everything and I didn't have to do anything at all apart from the law school part and showing up and not being a total a** in the interview.
Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

# 1 because none of the other companies got me a jobs, they got me interviews but nothing else, so you get first place for that. I worked with Parker Lynch and one other and I thought they were fine but Becca was much more responsive than the others.

Anything else?

One of the think that I experienced with a couple of recruiters in my time as a lawyer this year and you get someone that is really excited and they say "You've got a great resume, I've got all of these things, hang on a minute and I'll get right back with you on Tuesday and we are going to have interviews for you" and then 2 weeks later I email them because I haven't heard anything and I never got a response. That didn't happen here and it has happened with other places in this particular search. Becca was always there whenever I emailed so that is one thing that really sets your firm apart from the others.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

They found me a job! They would send me stuff every day and they set me up with the job I took. I was very surprised - I am still very young in my career and I didn't think a recruiter would work with me but they were pretty thorough.

Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

I talked with a few other ones and they would say "Hey, we will keep you in mind and put you up for stuff" and then I would never hear from them again. There was one where they kept putting me up for temp stuff and I told them I wasn't interested in that. I don't know how seriously any other company took my candidacy but it was really night and day.

My favorite thing about working with BCG was my legal placement professional. She was very invested in my search and got to know me in a personal, individual way. I liked the updates that you guys provided regularly. Working with BCG made my job easier in three ways. One is that it would be very, very hard to reach out and connect with all the various law firms that are out there. Two, even if you are able to do that, it's hard to keep track of the various markets for active needs as they come up. But it seemed like it was really a process that was occurring in real time. You guys kept up with what was happening in firms. That's how I ended getting up one of the two offers that I got. It was a firm that needed something quickly, it was something that your office understood, and then it got to my recruiter and she called me right away. The third way is that with my legal placement professional, she was very helpful because she got to know me as a person and as a candidate. She was then able to give me some advice and some perspective on how to consider all of the options that I ultimately had. She also helped to prepare me for each step in the process and provided great counseling. I had a really good recruiter who placed me where I am now, before I came to you guys, and then later on she disappeared. A few years later when I needed her help, she was involved with my company and transitioning people out. So it left me with a feeling that she was attentive and good when I was somebody that she could benefit from, but when she figured she couldn't she disappeared. That was very disappointing. So I would rank you as a ten. It's the best relationship I've had with a recruiting firm in every way. I would describe BCG as very helpful, because of your search process. You cast a wide net and have access to all the leads that are out there. So I think your company is something attorneys should definitely consider. You guys have personal interest and attention that I experienced with my recruiter. I've actually recommended you to people already. I feel very positive about my entire experience.

[My] favorite thing [about BCG] is my legal placement professional. She's a really, really nice person, straight shooter, and fun to talk to. She's an excellent person to be doing this kind of thing. I have worked with a bunch [of other recruiters]. I think you would be number one at this stage. I've worked with two other ones on this job search and you guys did more for me in terms of interviews and obviously you placed me. [There are] a lot of firms that you work with, so statistically there is good opportunity there.
