What Is Blanket Authorization and Why It Works

Want the Best Job Possible? Let BCG Do the Work for You.

When you give BCG blanket authorization, you're not just applying to jobs-you're leveraging our unique access to the legal market.

What You're Authorizing:

You're giving us permission to proactively submit your materials to peer or better law firms in your practice area and locations of interest-even if those firms haven't publicly posted an opening. This allows you to:

  • Be first in line when firms have unadvertised or sudden needs
  • Get maximum exposure to the full market-not just what's publicly listed
  • Save significant time, effort, and uncertainty
  • Be considered based on fit and business needs, not just openings

Why This Works:

BCG is a legal placement firm, not a traditional recruiter. We don't wait for firms to post jobs.
Law firms often hire reactively-when they have the work, not necessarily when they have an open listing. By targeting firms with similar prestige or better than your current one, we help you be considered by decision-makers who otherwise might not know you're available.

The Results:

Over 95% of our successful placements come from candidates who authorize us to take this approach.

Chart 1: Interview Success Rate – Mass Approval vs. Manual Authorization

Explanation:

This chart shows that 95% of successful interviews at BCG Attorney Search happen through Mass Approval Authorization. When candidates give us permission to proactively submit them to vetted opportunities without waiting for individual approval, we can act immediately—often within hours of a job opening.

In contrast, Manual (By-Hand) Authorization, where candidates must approve each firm one by one, accounts for only 5% of interview successes. These delays often result in missed opportunities, especially in competitive practice areas or fast-moving markets.

Chart 2: Submission Speed – Mass Approval vs. Manual Authorization

Explanation:

Candidates who opt for Mass Approval Authorization are typically submitted to appropriate firms within 1 business day—a critical factor when law firms are hiring quickly.

However, candidates requiring Manual Authorization are delayed by an average of 5 days before their materials are submitted. This not only slows down the search process, but it also means law firms may already be interviewing—and even hiring—other candidates by the time your resume is received.
