21 Reasons You Made the Smartest Choice Choosing BCG Attorney Search

 

TWO. We Understand What You Do. The legal industry is vast and complex, with hundreds of practice areas and sub-specialties. Most legal recruitment firms only work with a few types of attorneys, but BCG Attorney Search has over 300 practice areas and places attorneys in all. This deep understanding of the legal market means BCG Attorney Search can provide expert guidance to its clients, ensuring they find the right job in their preferred practice area.
 
THREE. BCG Understands Every Legal Market in the Country. BCG Attorney Search is a national firm that understands every legal market in the country at a high level. The legal market can vary significantly from region to region, with different practice areas in demand and unique cultural nuances to navigate. We're constantly learning and staying up-to-date on changes in the legal industry, giving our clients a competitive edge in their job search.
    FOUR. We Provide Constant Feedback. One of the most frustrating aspects of job hunting is the need for more feedback from potential employers. BCG Attorney Search takes a different approach, providing its clients constant feedback throughout job hunting.

We also offer an online profile where clients can track their job search progress.
 
FIVE. You Can Always Search Our Database and Add Positions to Your Account. One of the benefits of working with BCG Attorney Search is that you have access to the firm's extensive job database. Clients can search the database themselves and add positions to their accounts.

This feature gives clients extra control over their job search and helps them stay engaged.
 
SIX. We Have Thousands of Exclusive Jobs. BCG Attorney Search has a strong market presence, so the firm receives thousands of job openings monthly. These jobs are only available through BCG Attorney Search, which means clients have access to job opportunities that they wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. Access to more job opportunities gives BCG clients a competitive advantage in the job market, as they can apply for exclusive positions with less competition than other job openings.
 
SEVEN. We Make Law Firms Understand You. One of the biggest challenges of job hunting is standing out among a sea of applicants. BCG Attorney Search takes a unique approach to help its clients get noticed by employers. The firm writes in-depth cover letters that contain information gathered through extensive questionnaires, DISC profile tests, and other tools. This information gives employers a complete picture of the client's skills, personality, and experience, making them more likely to invite the client for an interview.

BCG Attorney Search also has a high success rate in placing clients with firms that do not have current job openings, giving clients an edge in the job market.
 
FOURTEEN. BCG Works With Over 35,000 Law Firms. Many recruiters only focus on placing candidates in big law firms with current job openings. BCG Attorney Search takes a different approach and works with over 35,000 firms. We work with over 35,000 law firms, and our 200+ staff monitors all of them for openings. 95% of our competitors are limited to the 100 to 200 most prominent law firms. That means you have access to up to 250x more opportunities than most legal recruiters can offer you. The first jobs we tend to show you are firms using us exclusively for job orders.
 
FIFTEEN. Over 85% of Our Placements Are With Firms that Do Not Even Have Openings. BCG Attorney Search has a unique advantage in the legal recruiting industry: the firm has over 25 years of research on expired jobs in its database. History of jobs means the firm has every opening from the past 25 years of every law firm in its database, giving it valuable insight into what types of attorneys certain firms seek. This database allows BCG Attorney Search to match clients with job opportunities that best fit their skills and experience.
 

1. Inactive Job Openings. We have been in business for over 25 years and have saved every job we have ever had on LawCrossing and BCG Attorney Search. Over 85% of our placements are with firms that do not have openings—but have had them in the past. 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. We also maintain information from:
   1. Surveys law firms fill out with us about their strengths and ongoing needs in your practice area and locations(s).
   2. Surveys candidates fill out about their law firms’ strengths with us in your practice area and location(s).
   3. Numerous national and regional publications maintain external lists where law firms are ranked for their strength in a given practice area.
   4. Law firms that have recently hired and interviewed people from your practice area from us in the past. We tend to show you firms that have hired first and then those that have interviewed.
       
3. Law Firms We Research in Our Internal Database. There are 35,000 law firms we work with regularly; out of these 35,000 law firms, there are lots of law firms that we are happy to try and market you to when you are interested.
    
4. Law Firms We Research and Find Externally. We are constantly updating our database and finding new firms all the time. If you are one of our candidates and ask us to, we will search for new firms for you.
    

SIXTEEN. We Know How to Match You to Law Firms. BCG Attorney Search uses a 1-5 ranking system to match clients with different types of law firms. This system considers a client's skills, experience, and practice area, as well as the firm's culture and priorities. This matching system ensures that clients are only presented with job opportunities that best fit them.
 
SEVENTEEN. Our Efforts are Not Scattered in Trying to Make Different Types of Placements: We Only Do Permanent Law Firm Placements. 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.

NINETEEN. BCG Takes Your Learning Very Seriously. With thousands of articles, hundreds of information-packed webinar training, and more, we have much to teach and want you to be the best you can be.
 
TWENTY. We Believe the Work of Legal Placement is Very Important and About Changing Lives and Empowering You. We believe in empowering attorneys and law firms with great information, candidates, and inspiration. We believe in helping people and that our work is important. Harrison believes it is essential to empower attorneys (1) intellectually (see BCGSearch.com), (2) psychologically (see HarrisonBarnes.com), (3) socially (see our webinars, podcasts, and other content), and (4) physically (see SuperRecruiter.com). We own some of the top sites in the legal profession that we use to help the legal profession.
 

• LawCrossing.com is the most trafficked legal job site in the world;
• BCGSearch.com is the most trafficked legal recruiting firm, and,
• TopLawSchools.com is the most trafficked law school forum in the world.

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. It can be demoralizing to apply for job after job and receive no response or to make it through several rounds of interviews only to be rejected. 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. A client is defined by their trusted relationship with you. A client may have one or many transactions with you, but the relationship lasts.

In conclusion, BCG Attorney Search offers a unique and valuable approach to helping lawyers find their ideal job. With its focus on matching clients with the right job opportunities, its extensive research into expired jobs, its use of a matching system, its specialized focus on permanent law firm placements, and its commitment to technology, BCG Attorney Search is a valuable resource for anyone looking for their ideal job in the legal industry.
