BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I enjoyed speaking with my recruiter today. She seems to be an excellent recruiter and is certainly a pleasure to work with. I appreciate BCG's help as I make this transition to Boston.

She had done her research before calling me and she was really knowledgeable about the market and answered all of my questions. Really took the time to figure out what I wanted which I thought was different from other recruiters. She really listened to the types of firms I was looking for, she made suggestions. Generally, she was interested to know me, is the best way to describe it.

It was all done in 2 months so it was made really easy and she worked really hard. She crafted the cover letter and asked relevant questions. She did an amazing job and worked really hard. I had nothing to do except click on approving firms, she pretty much took care of everything. She kept me in the loop at all times. Every time she would receive an email she would let me know. She made herself available to answer my questions even super early in the morning. She prepared me for the interviews. We went through the difficult questions because I was relocating so I had only been with my current job for a year. We got from a couple recruiting coordinators the question of why I was not transferring to [previous firm] in San Francisco as opposed to looking for a new job. She helped me craft an answer that is better than one I would have come up with myself.

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

A. #1! Definitely much better service than any other recruiting agency I have used. I had actually stopped using recruiters altogether because I felt like they were just trying to pawn me off on the first possible firm as opposed to really listening to what I had to say. I have a different background for a lot of people because I come from France so a lot of recruiters were not paying attention to what I was saying and Zsaleh, in that respect, was amazing! I definitely think BCG is the best recruiting agency.

I just want to drop you a quick note and mention how pleased I am with both BCG Attorney Search and my legal placement professional in terms of your responsiveness and management of this process so far. The other recruiter I've been trying to work with has finally sent out applications on my behalf to MoFo, Wilmer Hale, Fenwick & West, and Snell & Wilmer in the California area, but I have asked her to hold off on sending out anything further to anyone else. As such, I would like to handle all applications going forward with both of you, so I've asked my legal placement professional to check into what other leads he has in the area that I previously asked him to hold off on. Further, I was wondering if you, or another of your associates, has any leads in the Boston or Chicago area. If so, I would be happy to look into those as well. Again, thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to talking with you again.

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.

My recruiter in New York has been great in facilitating my job search process and already identified several potential opportunities. If any of my peers are seeking opportunities in the legal field and will make great candidates, I will refer them to 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 was really impressed by the initial screening and all of the effort that BCG puts into getting to know the candidate, all of the information that is requested, and just the fact that you would want to get all of that right up front to make sure you have the full picture was a good indicator right off the bat. It indicated that you took your candidate seriously and really wanted to find a firm that was a good fit rather than just something that would be an easy contract. Karen herself was really lovely. She was very responsive and incredibly friendly to work with and a very good listener. She was very proactive without being pushy, which is a tough line to straddle, and she did it very successfully. She was excellent. I kept my own internal spreadsheet of where we had applied and what was going on, and just knowing that, especially with my non-conventional resume, I had someone who was presenting me in a very professional way, someone who was experienced at packaging a candidate rather than, from my perspective just sending my weird resume without context was challenging I think. Having someone to help usher that in in an appropriate, professional way, really made me more comfortable with applying. Karen was so lovely to work with and really was clearly on top of everything. I would absolutely work with BCG and specifically Karen in the future if the need arises.

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 am very pleased to work with an individual like you who is highly experienced in law. Your firm is the most ideal to find employment opportunities in for individuals like me who are interested in patent law opportunities. In our several conversations, it was quite apparent that you know and appreciate my credentials. Thank you very much for all your advice and hope that I will be able to find a position soon with your help.
