BCG Attorney Search Reviews

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!

She was on it and didn't pester too much but stayed in contact. She didn't just communicate via email, she also sent texts so that gives a little more of a personal touch. It makes it seems like things are moving and they actually care and that you aren't just one out of a million applicants. I know that is a hard thing to balance for recruiters. They are either not on it or they are pestering you all of the time, one of the two. She found the right balance of that.

You have a nice online portal where you can pick the firms that you want to apply to and reject the ones that you already applied to or plan on doing yourself. I thought that was a nice feature. I have worked with a bunch of other companies and nobody else has anything like that. It is usually just email communications and a lot of times they won't even tell you who the firm is so you are just wasting your time talking to people when they won't let you know. It is kind of a waste of time to go back and forth if you have already applied there or you don't want to work there so.

Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's you have used?

A. I would put you at the top! I also thought a lot of the emails that you sent out to everybody were pretty helpful with tips and pitfalls to avoid, the interview process and making partner and all those sorts of things. I think those emails are really helpful to read.

[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.

I remember that Harrison Barnes called me pretty soon after I reached out to him, or pretty soon after we agreed to work together and talked to me over the phone. That was good. [You have] all the resources and connections that are required to put you into the circle of firms that I would expect to be shopped to. That was definitely a positive thing.

As a new attorney with less than a year of experience, I was skeptical that BCG could help me. I thought one needed an established practice to leverage a legal recruitment service. Thankfully, I was proved wrong. Almost immediately, I was interviewed for positions matching my aspirations. Moreover, it was a pleasure working with my legal placement professional. They were very helpful throughout the process; they found opportunities that interested me, provided helpful resources, and coached me for interviews. Overall, a good experience and will recommend.

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.

[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 just received your very thoughtful bottle of champagne and wanted to reach out to you both to say thank you, both for the gift and for all of our help in the recruiting process. You were both class acts, and I've already started singing the praises of BCG to my other friends looking to relocate. Thank you for the time and attention you took to help me get to Jones Day!

[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 love the ease of using BCG Attorney Search. It happened so easily and so quickly. I like how you guys sent the link with the proposed firms, and I got to mark up which ones that I was interested in and which ones I wasn't, I thought that was really convenient., the ease and convenience were my favorite thing. BCG is the top recruiting firm, so happy I got the job.
