BCG Attorney Search Reviews

My favorite thing about BCG is how proactive they were at getting me any openings that I would qualify for. It was nice not to have to worry about all of the administrative stuff that went on as I'm already busy with life, work and everything else that was happening, not to have to worry about keeping up with emails, and going back and forth was really nice

Some of my favorite things about working with BCG were that my recruiter was very responsive and encouraging.BCG made my job search easier because of the feedback I got from my recruiter and the search scope I was looking at before made me think about things a little differently.BCG is responsive, professional, and a joy to work with. I would say BCG is the top recruiting firm.I would tell a peer that it will be worth reaching out to BCG. They have connectivity and can help someone explore their potential.

I had burned through a bunch of recruiters who, after there was an initial flurry of excitement kind of fizzled out. Then I wouldn't hear from them until I heard from them. I really liked how BCG and especially my legal placement professional, the one that helped me, were reliable; they checked in, I got weekly reports. I knew that even if I didn't have an opportunity that week, I was still in her thoughts. I felt like I was well taken care of throughout the whole process. It seemed like my legal placement professional and BCG in general understood the market better and knew which firms were likely to hire and which firms were a no go. It just made the whole process a lot less frustrating. I was actually getting interviews with firms [instead of just] not hearing back at all. Not every interview worked out, but it was nice. It felt like I was targeting firms intelligently with BCG. [BCG is] competent, dependable, reliable, friendly, and takes time to understand [my] needs and concerns. [I would rank BCG] highest and first [compared to other recruiting firms]. I would say if you are looking for a lateral law firm move in the Boston area you guys are the best. You seem like you understand what is going on the best and have the best customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you guys to anyone.

[My favorite things about working with BCG and my legal placement professional] General helpfulness throughout the process, general advising, being available and helping me through the decision making process and having another resource in the job application process.Definitely helped take a step-up in the process. Coming from Louisville, I felt like I had a good resume with good regional firm experience. I think using a recruiting firm allowed me to get in the door of some places that a general resume application wouldn't have done. She helped navigate the post-offer process and go through some of the follow ups and some of the question that needed to be asked. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A. I very basically used some others but there was really none others that got results. I enjoyed working very closely with my legal placement professional.

I did like how you all were available to have people talk to me in person, able to walk me through not only the BCG process but also the whole interview coaching process, I think that was very positive. It made my job search easier as applying to each individual firm would have been a nightmare. I haven't worked with any other recruiting companies, but you guys are #1!

I was very fortunate, because the recruiter I worked with was highly qualified. She was very dedicated to me, had great follow through, and she made me feel like she cared about how things turned out for me in terms of my job search. I would highly recommend the recruiter I worked with.

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!

[I like how BCG] took the lead, and got everything done. [It was] a stress and hassle free process. You handled all the necessary background work, [such as] cover letter writing and the application process, and allowed me to focus on my current job without distractions with the process. [BCG is] reliable, efficient, and great. I would strongly recommend you. It was a stress free process. [BCG] took care of everything and kept [up] the communication without overly hassling me.

I think my legal placement professional is very proactive and very responsive. Every time I had question, no matter what kind of question, whether about my resume, an opening or about an interview question, she always responded very quickly. In terms of BCG Search, the biggest advantage is that it has a very large database and works with a lot of law firms, so there are a lot of exclusive opportunities that are only posted on BCG's website. What really saved me time was I think the system, how the whole process works, like she would send me a link so that I could view the opening that required my approval and shows each opportunity and how far it goes. The system works very well and makes it very intuitive and easy for a candidate to get a knowledge of what kind of opportunity is available and what are the process in terms of each opportunity. BCG a lot of established information in their systems, like if you are going to have an interview, BCG has a book to tell you about the process, how to ace the interview, and if you have a call back, then BCG will have a book for you on the helpful tips and tricks on how to answer a call back. I think BCG is absolutely the best.

I liked the feedback. I liked being able to check what the status was every week.You guys just applied me to places, and I appreciated that I knew at least most of what I was going to go into at an interview. I would tell others to use you. You're just great.
