BCG Attorney Search Reviews

The website - being able to approve firms and everything is sent off without having to worry about anything further beyond approving the firms. Generally it was a pretty easy process. The way the website aggregates the firms and gives you the option to approve either the specific position or exclude the firm entirely is helpful. The process is pretty seamless and it takes it out of your hands.

My favorite thing about working with BCG Attorney search was the constant communication. This really helped me to stay on task and gave me deadlines. Oh, and the fact that they got me the job!

The advocacy was my favorite part of working with BCG Attorney Search. Especially when they were negotiating salary and terms, they were advocating for me and they were on my side. This made my job search easier because they listened, they heard what I was looking for and they found me the perfect fit and I couldn't be happier. I would rank them at the very top! With some of the other recruiter I have worked with, you just feel like another file and definitely didn't get the personal attention I got with BCG.

[The] status update was helpful to have, and you were pretty accessible over the phone. Carleen was really easy to work with which was great. You guys did most of it [my job search] for me so that was helpful. [I also] like[d] the constant updates with firms and not having to look too much at positions. I would describe you guys as provid[ing] a pretty broad search for us ... you guys are connected with a lot of different firms.

Harrison, thank you! I am grateful for all that you and your team have done for me. While I did not receive a direct placement from BCG, I read every article on your site and adhered to the advice. I believe your insights and encouragement contributed to my success. I will absolutely recommend my peers contact you for potential opportunities.

I didn't work specifically with a recruiter actually for this job - it was odd. In the past I had a conversation with Harrison, but it wasn't related to this job, it was career advice, and I spoke directly with Harrison. Finding this job, it was serendipitous, I am not sure I know, or remember. What happened was, I selected this Firm for approval, and it directed me to go to their site, and apply. Then Ballard reached out through BCG, so, I think it was through the alerts and emails to approve firms, that I learned about them. I would rank BCG toward the top.

My favorite thing about working with BCG Attorney Search and Harrison Barnes was that they provided a really comprehensive list of potential employers and it was simple for me to apply to those employers. Essentially all I had to do was green light them and BCG took care of the rest. This made my job search easier because it was super passive on my end and all I had to do was review the employers list and green light the ones I wanted BCG to apply to on my behalf and then BCG took care of the rest so there wasn't really a lot that I had to do which freed up to do other things. BCG Attorney Search is the best legal recruiting firm that I have worked with. During my job hunt, I was contacted by 2 other recruiting firms, and BCG was the one that got me the job. I had the best luck working with them and they also set me up with an actual attorney who prepped me for interviews and that was really helpful. They were also the most responsive. The other recruiting firms that had reached out didn't do a great job of responding to my emails and other correspondence.

She never gave up on me. There was definitely a lot of effort put in for me. I liked how every so often I would get new firms chose particular for me and they really tried to address my interests and what I was looking for. It is very time consuming to look for a new job to begin with so it was nice to be able to have someone to do most of the leg work for you. Carleen was with me every step of the way and she answered any questions that I had. She also helped prepare me for interviews that I had. It was a good experience and I appreciate all the work that Carleen did.

I don't know all of the firms that are out there and that have openings and are looking for someone to fill a position. There are other types of ways to look through - LinkedIn and what not - but obviously it is easier when a recruiting agency has access to these firms and to these job opening and they can do the matching process based on what I am looking for and what the firms is looking for.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

They found me a job! They would send me stuff every day and they set me up with the job I took. I was very surprised - I am still very young in my career and I didn't think a recruiter would work with me but they were pretty thorough.

Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

I talked with a few other ones and they would say "Hey, we will keep you in mind and put you up for stuff" and then I would never hear from them again. There was one where they kept putting me up for temp stuff and I told them I wasn't interested in that. I don't know how seriously any other company took my candidacy but it was really night and day.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Harrison's Team?

Interview prep and debrief Zoom calls.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

Finding the right law firms to apply to.

Where would we rank/compare to other recruiting company's you may have used?

Highly.

Is there anything else you would like to add about your experience or any other feedback you have for us?

A lot of marketing emails made it confusing to determine which I needed to reply to and which were just informational. Otherwise, it was easy to work internationally with the team and I appreciate the deviation from normal practices to make my location issues work.
