BCG Attorney Search Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Harrison's Team? Responsiveness and general guidance. The interview prep with Patrick was particularly helpful. How did working with us make you job search easier?It took care of the whole entire thing. The individual search gets very cumbersome when scouring between dozens, if not hundreds, of different firms. BCG had already done all that work and had summarized each firm. When the list got in front of me the work was done and it was very easy for me to narrow down from that. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's? #1. You are the only one that got me a job.Is there anything else you would like to add about your experience?Carleen and Patrick were particularly helpful. The interview prep and post interview feedback was invaluable. I wasn't really expecting that and that level of attention to detail was great. Also, the process was extremely quick. From reaching out to Carleen I think it was less than a month or 2 to my start date. There was downtime initially when I was getting back with you on the firms but once we really go the ball rolling it was 2-3 weeks to a start date which was way faster and way more successful than I anticipated.

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

The fact that it was mostly automated. I would be asked to approve firms and approve jobs that my credentials would be sent to. This was mostly done electronically which I found very convenient.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

BCG did all the leg work. BCG found the job openings and reported them to me so all I had to do was approve the opening. It saved me time from having to go through individual law firm websites.

Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

BCG was the best. I did work with a couple other recruiter's and from my personal observation they had less access to job openings. I heard much more from BCG than I did from the other recruiters. The other recruiters tended to not be automated and I would get a phone call to discuss it in real time which often wasn't convenient and we ended up playing phone tag a lot. BCG was the best because of the volume of openings that BCG was able to get access to and because of the convenient nature of the interaction.
