BCG Attorney Search Reviews

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Carolina? Carolina really listened my experience and what I wanted from a new firm. She took into account what I had liked before and what I wasn't liking at my current job. She talked to me on a personal level that other recruiters didn't. She was able to understand me in a more personal way which really helped us work together and also helped her be motivated towards helping me. There were times when I would say "Oh, I thought this opportunity would be good for you" and we would talk about why I might not have felt the same. She was the best recruiter that I had worked with who really gave me an accurate view of the market. I really understood what I was getting into in the job search. How did working with us make you job search easier?It was nice to get the weekly and every other daily emails reminding me to look at the list and reordering it different ways. It was really making me explain why I didn't like the firm even if it is just that I didn't think I would fit in there. Whenever I told Carolina; for example, that I didn't like the reputation of a certain firm, she would just move on and really respected my choices. The reminders for BCG, though sometimes they could a little overwhelming because they were always popping up, were really helpful because they WERE always popping up and reminding me that I am working now but that I was still doing a job search too which also requires a lot of time and effort. Is there anything else you would like to add about your experience? A million times praise Carolina! She was so attentive to what I wanted and what I needed on a personal and emotional level.

My legal placement professional really helped me negotiate an unusual circumstance, in that I left Los Angeles and my husband and I wanted to take some time off before beginning a new job. I know that is kind of an unusual request and most law firms don't tend to like their candidates to do that. I made it clear that I had a particular start date and she had me negotiate and find somewhere that would work with that. That was certainly one of the most important aspects.It certainly made it [my job search] easier that I didn't have to look so hard and the opportunities came to me. I had asked she to keep an eye on the market for me and let me know when something came up. It wasn't on me to be constantly monitoring things; she would do that for me.

They found me a job right by my house, it was just perfect as far as location, and it was completely random because they didn't even know I had moved yet.
You found me exactly what I was looking for. I didn't have to do anything but submit some documents to you. I mean the employer found me.

I haven't worked with a lot of recruiting companies. I've only done indeed, LinkedIn, and zip Recruiter. I mean, they're all good, but I think BCG is more specified to me.

My legal placement professional took the time to really get to know me. We spent 20-30 minutes initially and she made the effort to understand me. She also was available anytime I had a question. She would report back really promptly. Anytime I had a question, no question was too small, there was no question she couldn't answer and it made me feel really good about the process, that was one of my favorite things. She was very knowledgeable and it made me feel really comfortable. Another thing, I had a unique situation and instead of balking at it, she embraced it and said that we could figure it out, and she did. One great part was that I had a liaison between myself and the firm, which made it much more comfortable for me so that I didn't feel like I was bombarding them with questions. Having the recruiter do it, you know, she has all of the experience she knew how to deal with the firms, that is what she has done with her career, so that was nice as I didn't have to reach out directly about anything. BCG is much more attentive than other search firms, and when I search again, I will certainly be reaching out to BCG to see if my legal placement professional is available.

I guess that whenever I had any questions, or I wanted to talk to somebody about a potential interview or something my legal placement professional, who was helping me, would always return a call, a text, or an email almost immediately. It was so easy to stay in touch with her, and I felt like she was very, very focused on helping me and was always available. I basically just sent in my resume and transcript, and she had interviews for me the next week. So I didn't have to do cover letters, and I didn't have to research what firms were looking for anyone. It very much simplified it. [I would describe BCG Attorney Search as] efficient, available, and simplifying. In the future, I would go back to you guys. I wouldn't try out someone else. I would highly recommend [you]. [BCG] will make you feel like you are the only clients and they will work tirelessly to get you in a placement that works for you.

My recruiter in Los Angeles was absolutely wonderful. I had a difficult time finding a job because of my focus in my practice area. A lot of recruiters gave up on me. They would get very excited, but after a few weeks or months they would have trouble placing me and they would give up. And my recruiter did not. My recruiter was interested in me and she was very determined. My recruiter was able to get me interviews at great firms. They stuck with me until we found a placement, a good home for me. And I really appreciated that. Working with BCG opened a lot of doors for me, because even though I was searching for jobs myself and applying, I might not have seen a lot of the job postings. Also, I was not able to reach the recruiting officers at law firms. Having my recruiter advocate on my behalf and check on the status of my submission was really helpful. I would not have been able to do that myself. I would highly recommend BCG.

My favorite aspect of working with the entire BCG team was the array of helpful resources that they shared with me. Whether it be a podcast episode about how best to approach the legal job market, or an article on how to answer tough interview questions, I felt that I had a world of resources and support at my fingertips. Working with BCG Attorney Search made my job search easier by helping me find out what opportunities were out there. I was only aware of a limited number of education law positions, and the regular updates opened my eyes to so many more options. I have never used a recruiting company before this, but I know that in the future I would expect the same level of constant care and job support as I received here. Finally, I would like to add that I appreciate all of the support and personalized attention that I received over the last month or two.

I felt that you were very responsive. In particular, my legal placement professional...was great. I really felt like you were supportive too, with information that helped [me] go through the entire process and prepare for interviews and things. I thought that was great. You guys were very responsive and provided a lot of information to assist me through the whole process. Quite honestly, I think you are a step above everybody else. You set a standard above what the other recruiting services do [with] what you offered. Excellence would be a word [that describes you]. I would rank you the top company that I have ever worked with, by far. I think you did a superb job of really preparing me for some of the unique challenges [of] interviewing with law firms [I was] faced with. I am very, very grateful for the service [you provided]. I've already told somebody [they] need to get in touch with this company and I have forwarded a couple emails and contact information to them.

I am writing to provide my unreserved praise of your recruiter, my legal placement professional. She reached out to me in response to an online submission through the BCG website and from our first interaction I was struck by her professionalism and thoughtfulness. Having taken a step out of the legal industry for several years, I was concerned that recruiters would have little interest in my resume. What others saw as an obstacle, she saw as an asset. Over the following weeks, She acted as a counselor, coach and cheerleader in her tireless efforts to find the perfect placement for me in the dynamic New York legal market. She looked at my experience with a careful eye and presented my work history to prospective employers in a truly compelling manner-resulting in multiple interviews at top tier firms. She worked with me directly to prepare for the interview process and gave practical advice on what to expect and how to respond to the situations and environments her clients confront during the interviewing process. She worked outside of the "normal channels" to get my resume and credentials in front of firms, even if those firms did not have any known openings. I was particular impressed that she connected me to other BCG recruiters across the country when I desired to broaden my search. During each of our interactions, it was clear to me that she genuinely cared about me and her other clients and was willing to help in any way possible to find the right next step. I look forward to recommending my legal placement professional to any colleagues in need of a recruiter and know that she will provide the same professional, personable and passionate service she provided to me. I would be happy to provide any additional information or to serve as a reference for any potential candidates-it would truly be my pleasure.

I really enjoyed the app and text messages. I didn't have to constantly check my email. If I got notifications from the app it was so much straighter forward of what I was going in to address and to stay up to date. It was great because she could sift through the positions I was eligible for and that my credentials fit with. It was nice to look and the firm and go to the posting and then decide. It just streamlined the process so much more than having the comb through job boards or LinkedIn.She was so on top of everything. There were times when there was a delay in the process and I was probably annoying her with my constant enthusiasm trying to get updates but she seemed like she understood that. She was great and it all went really well.Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A. I have used 2 or 3 and you are the best I used by far. It was nice to connect with a recruiter and firm that I meshed really well with.
