BCG Attorney Search Review

She was really responsive. Anytime she emailed me with a list of firms and I responded back saying what I was interested in, she would respond right away and let me know she was going to submit me. She was super super responsive and consistently would send me emails about multiple opportunities. I feel like other recruiters I worked with in the past will contact you about an initial opportunity and then once you speak with them you never hear from them again or maybe hear from them in 3 mos but she was always consistently sending me opportunities, weekly, which is nice. When she reached out she sent me multiple opportunities. Other recruiters in the past have contacted me with one opportunity in mind, which is fine, but I think it's nice for attorneys who are looking for new jobs and new opportunities to get multiple possible options, so that was great. With the negotiation with my other employer, when I talked to her about things that were important to me in my next job I feel like she really listened to what I wanted. Sometimes other recruiters you get the sense that they just want to place you somewhere so they can get their commission but with her I really felt like she really listened to the things that mattered to me. Specifically, finding a job that was in commercial litigation but was also practicing in intellectual property, which is where I am really passionate about. She made sure once I got the job offer to go back to the partners and express to them in a professional way that that was what I was really interested in. Also, trying to negotiate a higher salary for me which is really nice. I feel like she really advocated for me, whereas other recruiters sometimes want to dial down or ask for less. When we had after I told her I got the job opportunity she didn't try to pressure me into saying "yes". She was excited for me but I also told her what I was concerned about and what was important to me and I feel like she really advocated for me. In terms of BCG, it was a great experience! I had the best experience working with her, she was great! It made it easier because the opportunities Carleen would email and other people at BCG would email me about were opportunities that I didn't see online. I would also look on my own online to see what positions were available and a lot of the firms that were looking, I didn't see online. Maybe the firms were trying to look in a confidential way or have recruiters just look for them so that #1 made it easier. I feel like I got exposure to opportunities that I wouldn't have found by myself. #2 - because there were so many opportunities and lists of firms they would email be about, if I wasn't interested in something because it's not the practice area that I want to focus on they had no problem with that whatsoever. They said "Okay, no problem. We want to make sure you find a job that you are happy in and not just place you anywhere." It made it really helpful to get a list of so many opportunities and if there were a couple that I just wasn't interested in, it wouldn't be a big deal because there were so many others they would email me about. Those 2 things made it really really helpful.Also, having Carleen, once I did get the offer, go back to the partners and express that I was really excited about the opportunity but to make sure to stress the things that were important to me I felt like made it a lot easier. I had a great experience working with you all, and I will be sure to refer any of my friends/associates/former colleagues to you whenever the time comes for them to start their job searching process.
