BCG Attorney Search Reviews

With working with my legal placement professional, she always kept me updated which was really nice because you are constantly wanting to know who is interested in you and who isn't, and she was incredibly responsive to my questions and was always sure to make sure I knew if there were any updates and if they wanted an interview, or if they weren't interested, that kind of thing. You guys were also able to find a lot of firms that I would have never been able to find on my own, and I think that working with you guys, it was easier to get in touch with the firms and be taken seriously rather than applying independently. BCG is the best legal recruiting service that I have used.

I enjoyed working with my legal placement professional because she was very accessable and was available to talk through my issues. BCG was very helpful in disseminating the resume and mediating the initial discussions. BCG is number 1!

It really seemed like my legal placement professional and BCG had a plan and were willing to work the problem. I had contacted other recruiters but I would very quickly get back a "No, there isn't really anything out there" whereas with my legal placement professional and BCG there was initially a long list of stuff. It was more of a "well, you may not be exactly the description they are looking for but a lot of times when people see a certain resume they want to talk to you." She was always very pleasant to talk to and seemed to have a good plan and moving forward. She seemed to be on top of a number of possibilities to at least explore, which was a lot better than any other search firm that I have contacted. It felt like progress was always being made.The online portal [made my job search easier] and also she gave me advice and we discuss things about my resume, which I thought was very helpful and gave me pointers from her perspective. It seemed like she vetted a lot of the firms first and then would give me the listing of firms and ask me to go through them. It wasn't a narrow focus and more of a broad focus and saying we have these number of firms, maybe you don't fit exactly what they are looking for but she would forward my information to them anyway because sometimes getting your resume sparks an idea or maybe they start thinking that maybe this person would fit. I think that is actually what happened with the firm where I landed, quite frankly. They hadn't even officially started advertising for a position and they got my resume it fit something else they thought would be a really good fit for them.my legal placement professional was a very easy person to work with. She offered great advice and wouldn't over inflate advice she was getting. She would tread the line between being hopeful and realistic. The products that BCG offered really seemed to be advantageous and very helpful. If I ever hear of another friend that is looking to make a move to another state or make a transition, the first place that I will point them is with my legal placement professional and BCG . Ya'll seem to really have developed an effective system. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's? A. I have worked with a few and as far as effectiveness I would definitely put you at the top!

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.

She was good at keeping me updated. I liked the BCG online access. It was very organized and I could see all the places [where my application] was pending. I think that facilitated the process of the job searching. She showed me my current employer that I wouldn't have really known about or looked into had Jessica not reached out. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's you used?A. Better than other recruiting companies because 1) it is easy to see the online system - it is very nicely laid out and I think that distinguishes you from other recruiting companies. I very much enjoyed that aspect of it. The follow up was good and Jessica was easy to get into contact with to ask any follow up questions to. ****Feedback from Michelle that we don't need to post with the testimonial, but for our consideration**** A way BCG can improve: if the recruiter could get more information with regards to the job application. Before interviews: find out what the day to day would look like and what specific area of law the candidate will be practicing in. Ask more questions to the hiring firm before purposing it to the candidate. She understands that sometimes the firm doesn't always share that info but if we could try to push and get a bit more.

BCG Attorney Search has good market punctuation and is easy to work with. I didn't really have to do anything.

I worked with a recruiter in Houston, and she had so much helpful information about the recruitment process. For example, I'm a transplant [from] New York to Houston, [and] she had a lot of helpful advice on how to answer questions like Why Houston? if you have no ties to Houston or Texas. The coaching I would say was very, very, very top notch. [Working with BCG made my job search] incredibly easier. I submitted my resume to my recruiter, then I had a conversation with her to let her know the things I was looking for in a law firm. She did the rest, and then all of the sudden I had interviews without really having to do very much on my end. [BCG is] competent, very quick, and very prestigious. [Compared to other recruiting companies], I would say by far [BCG is] superior; the top, number one. I would say that BCG really knows their stuff. I highly recommend BCG. They make the process very seamless and very painless. They make sure that each candidate is putting their best foot forward in front of a law firm. I would highly recommend [them].

[BCG was] very pro-active. I thought [they had] expansive thinking as far as different options, and [I appreciated the] constant updates. [BCG made my job search easier because] I always knew what the status was so I didn't have to call somebody and ask them what's going on. I thought you guys were the best [recruiting company I've worked with].

I liked the ease of the process! I appreciated that I got the updates for the positions and that I could just click on the link, I appreciated the reminders that helped keep me on task, and remind me to take 5 minutes to review the jobs. You guys were the only recruiters in all of my time as a legal professional that got me a job. Every other time, the recruiter didn't help or it became really clear that they weren't on my side. You guys were the only recruiters that ever worked for me. I would rank you guys #1.

My legal placement professional was very helpful in explaining the process as I had never worked with a recruiter before. I actually had never been through interviews or any of it as I had clerked where I got my first position, so she was helpful in explaining the process of everything to me. She was also very responsive and nice to work with. She knew of the opportunities for me and she set up the interviews and that made it easier with the traveling and such. I have never worked with a recruiter, so I have no benchmark to compare my experience to accept that I did talk to one recruiter a month before her and she wasn't very helpful and she said there really wasn't any work as I was moving from Florida to Colorado. She said there was really no way, and wasn't hopeful at all and didn't even try and was trying to push me into looking at markets like Atlanta and Chicago and other markets where I didn't want to work just because I think it would have been easier for her if I looked in those markets whereas my legal placement professional was realistic but was hopeful and it ended up working out and that was a lot better than the other experience than I had.
