Objections to BCG Attorney Search from Law Firms: Overcoming Hesitations and Delivering Exceptional Legal Talent

Here are some common reasons we hear why law firms don't want to use legal recruitment firms and how we can help:
 
"We prefer to handle recruitment in-house."
While it's understandable that firms may want to handle recruitment internally, it can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Partnering with BCG Attorney Search can alleviate this burden and allow your firm to focus on other priorities while we handle recruitment. Additionally, we have access to a broad network of legal professionals and can often reach candidates that firms may not be able to on their own.
 
"We don't want to pay recruitment fees."
We understand that recruitment fees can be a concern for firms. However, working with BCG Attorney Search can save firms money in the long run. By ensuring that the right candidate is hired the first time, firms can avoid the cost of turnover and the associated costs of re-recruitment and re-training.
 
"We have had bad experiences with recruitment firms in the past."
We understand that some firms may have had negative experiences with recruitment firms. However, BCG Attorney Search has a track record of successful placements and satisfied clients. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and only present candidates who meet their requirements.
 
"We already have a strong network of candidates."
While it's great that your firm has a strong network of candidates, partnering with BCG Attorney Search can help expand that network even further. We have access to a broad range of legal professionals across the country, including those who may not be actively seeking new positions but would be open to the right opportunity.
 
At BCG Attorney Search, we aim to provide exceptional service and deliver top-quality candidates to our clients. We understand the unique needs of law firms and can help your firm find the right legal talent to meet those needs.
