BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I liked that BCG assigned me a personal recruiter who I had a conversation with. That was really nice and I liked the direct contact with Harrison Barnes, that made me feel appreciated. I feel really appreciated with one on one time. I had really great conversations with the recruiters that I worked with and I thought that they were excellent. They didn't make any mistakes and were excellent.

[BCG] essentially handled everything, so it was really low stress on my end.I don't think I would have been able to find the opportunity on my own, honestly. So I think that was the most invaluable part, just becoming aware [of that].[BCG is] helpful and professional.I have already recommended [BCG Attorney Search] to friends. I [would say you are] highly recommendable and helpful.

I received the champagne you sent to my office--thank you very much for the thoughtful gift. Receiving your gift also made me realize that I never took time to thank you for your work in finding a new position for me. I selfishly forgot to acknowledge your hard work during the hectic transition between jobs and all of my wedding planning. For that I apologize, and please know that I am very grateful for your work. BB&K has been great so far, so I am definitely a satisfied "customer." Looking forward to staying in touch.

[BCG was] very friendly and very prompt in replying. It made it easier to narrow my search to what I was really looking for. You are ranked number one, because your results lead to employment. I would recommend you. I would describe you as professional and effective.

[My favorite thing about working with BCG Attorney Search was] that there was a level of contact every week. I have worked with other recruiters where basically you talk with them once and then you don't hear from them. So it was very nice that the recruiter that I worked with, Carleen, reached out to me at least once a week. I didn't have to do anything, it was great. She sent me the firms, I elected whether or not to put my hat in the ring and she drafted the cover letter. I was really able to sit back relax and wait and see what happened. [The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG Attorney Search are] helpful, professional, and successful. As of right now, [you are the] best [legal recruiting firm] I have worked with. [I would tell someone] that if they are looking for a legal job and if they would like to work with a recruiter I highly recommend they get in touch with you.

I think the number of firms I was able to get my resume in front of was my favorite thing about BCG Attorney Search. This opened up a lot of firms to consider my application. They did a lot of the work for me so that I could continue focus on my current job instead of spending all of my time dealing with recruiting. In terms of outcome, for me personally, BCG is number 1!

My favorite thing about working with BCG was Carleen's responsiveness and attentiveness to what I was looking for in a firm as well as her diligence, once I believed I had found the firm for me. Working with BCG helped remove some stress away from what is a daunting process. It allowed me to place my attention elsewhere, knowing that my search process was in good hands. I would rank BCG at the top amongst other recruiting companies I have worked with. Between Carleen's tenacity to find a job, I would enjoy as well, Harrison's thoughtful blog posts. BCG is a great support for any lawyer enduring the lateral search process.

I loved attention that I received from BCG. I really felt valuable and that they were working really hard for me trying to find me a position and I really appreciated that. I think this made my job search easier because it brought the law firms to me. Made it easier to search for them, matched me with different firms that, with some algorithm or something, matched me up, but that made it much easier than me Googling firms or go about it in that way. I haven't worked with any other recruiting firms, but I would definitely give BCG a 10 out of 10 on my scale!

Working with BCG was great. It was very communicative. They were not just talking to me and letting the ball roll, they were proactive in asking me if there was any assistance I needed, what I was interested in, and what I was curious to look in. Harrison talked with me personally on several occasions. It was overall a good experience, and I would recommend BCG to anyone that is doing a job search now.Working with BCG [made my search] a lot easier. There is a lot out there on the internet. Throughout my searches in the past years, which unfortunately have been frequent, it is easier to have a person on your team, and not needing to do it all for yourself. Overall the biggest thing I thought I benefitted from were Harrison's connections and his knowledge about different areas. He tried to get to the true nature of what I like and what I'll be happy in, and he was a go getter on my behalf.To be honest I have tried to do this on my own a couple times. In doing my research I realized that with big firms and big companies it's very tough to get someone to read past your cover letter. You have to come as a referral or have somebody recommending you. I did a couple cold calls, but me contacting the firm directly was not the same as something coming from a recruiter.If things didn't work out or if I didn't like where I was I would definitely reach out to you guys first.

How quickly the process worked for me. Carleen and I started talking in October and I had interviews and got a job offer by late November, early December. It [using a recruiter] helped a lot! I was originally told not to use a recruiter because sometimes firms won't pay for the fee, but that was the wrong advice because I did a lot of job searching on my own and applying on my own and that led to absolutely nothing! The second that I started working with a recruiter I had immediate interest and interviews so obviously that network was really important. Especially for me coming out of state and not being licensed in CO yet, that made all the difference to me! Carleen is great! We didn't have a ton of communication because it wasn't necessary but anytime I needed her she was quick and just really lovely.Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's you may have used?A. In April, when I first started looking into moving to Colorado I started looking at recruiters and spoke to one. I told her exactly what I wanted out of a firm and was very descriptive and she immediately sent me back 4 or 5 firms and when I looked at them online I realized she was not listening to me. It's clear that she just wanted a big commission because these firms pay a lot more but they were just not what I am looking for and I got really frustrated. When I spoke with Carleen I felt like she really listed to exactly what I was looking for and knew the kind of firm I wanted. Also, it was really sweet - when I did get a job she reached out and was really nice about it and said she could tell I was really despairing and I am so glad we could help. I feel like she regarded me more as a person.
