We have millions of old jobs and use data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to match you to the best opportunities for our old jobs.
    
2. Recommended Firms We Believe Are Likely to Be Interested in You. We maintain a list of law firms on BCG Attorney Search that are (1) in your practice area, location, and for attorneys used to represent the types of clients you do, (2) have interviewed and hired people in your practice area and location recently from us, (3) have viewed the resumes of past candidates similar to you from us several times.

BCG Attorney Search focuses solely on permanent law firm placements, meaning the firm's efforts are separate across different posts. While the firm does not do contract or in-house orders, it works with over 25,000 law firms and has opportunities for all sorts of candidates, regardless of the type of firm they are coming from or their practice area.

EIGHTEEN. We Are a Technology Company, Not a Legal Recruiting Company. BCG Attorney Search is not just a legal recruiting company; it's a technology company. The firm has invested over $200,000,000 in its database over the past 25 years, giving it a unique advantage in the industry. Using technology means that BCG Attorney Search is open to the prejudices, time, abilities, and skills of a single recruiter. The firm's data center alone uses over $20,000 in power per month, and the firm can find more opportunities faster and get them out to clients more effectively than any single recruiter could.

TWENTY-ONE. We Stick with You Because You are a Client and Not a Customer. One of the most frustrating aspects of job hunting is the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with it.

BCG Attorney Search understands this, so we always pursue you, clients. Our commitment to you is unwavering, and we're always there to offer support and guidance throughout the job-hunting process. Once a candidate is under our care, we keep trying until we find the right job for them. You can always reach us, and we will work with you until you find a position that matches your goals.
The word customer comes from the Medieval Latin custumarius, which meant “customs official.” This was adapted into the Anglo-French custumer, which eventually came to also mean “buyer” and “a person with whom one has dealings.” The transaction defines a customer. It is a relationship only insomuch as a transaction takes place. from the Medieval Latin, custumarius, which meant “customs official.” This was adapted into the Anglo-French custumer, which eventually came to also mean “buyer” and “a person with whom one has dealings.” Contrast this with client. The word client comes from the Latin clientem, meaning “follower.” This is thought to be a variant of clinare, "to incline, bend." This means a client is someone who leans on you for advice.
