BCG Attorney Search Reviews

Carleen was very persistent, which I appreciated because I was being kind of lazy about my job search. She was also patient with me because I was initially open to going to a lot of places but then when it really came down to it I really only wanted a handful of markets and she was able to accommodate that. She discussed and negotiated with the firm I am at now because initially there was a Rochester opening and I said I didn't want that, and she discussed it with them and she was able to get Buffalo as an option. I think her patience and persistence were very important.

[Working with BCG] was super easy. It wasn't really looking for much of a change but I was able to select markets and practice fields. I thought it was overall really good getting all of the open positions. I think some of them could have been a little bit more tailored. Sometimes I was getting them for markets I wasn't interested in or certain admissions were required and I didn't have those, so that was a bit annoying. Same for practice areas - it was a bit too broad of a search. Overall it was good to see a lot of options and I was actually interested in a number of positions but there were still too many that were not my jurisdiction or practice area.

Carleen was really good, I appreciated her work. I think you guys did a pretty good job. Some of the blog posts and articles are a bit over the top and crazy, but overall I think the placement set up and the job search functions are really great.

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

A. I haven't really; I was contacted by a couple other recruiting firms. You guys were pretty great. I have recommended BCG to a couple of friends. I don't know if they are looking for the same tier of firms, as you work with some of the top tier stuff but I still recommended them.

I started working with my recruiter and she was really good. She kind of just jumped in and said, ""Can I help you? Can we talk about this? What can we do? What are you thinking about?"" I had some other offers that were through a different recruiter. Of course she emphasized the Milbank offer, but I believed what she said when she compared them, and I appreciated her advice. She also was open, and she said do you need help on neighborhoods and moving and all that stuff. I feel like she has handled this a lot. She knows what's going to happen. I debated asking for a signing bonus, since I had multiple offers. She then contacted Milbank and their recruiter and said would this be bad? We ended up finding a good way to get me a litter better deal than the original first offer. So I really appreciated her, her knowledge, and knowing how best to approach that and giving me advice on what and what would not be a good ideaa nd then I got an offer, which was amazing.

As far as getting a little bit better offer I think that was something my recruiter was able to help, and I'm not sure I would have been able to do myself. It was nice to kind of have the in-between, for her to talk to their recruitment staff, so I didn't have to directly ask a partner, just to kind of test the waters. So I think that was where it was more helpful than had I been on my own.

The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG Attorney Search are big, opportunity, and overall knowledgeable.

I would describe it as full of experience and opportunities. Keeping things confidential, like as you will too. So if you reach out, make sure both sides are confidential and I think that is respected. I like that. I would say there are a lot of people, I think I had six or seven people from BCG at one time or another connect with me on LinkedIn within about a three month span. I would say they are not all created equal. I would say talk to, and look at background and experience, before you decide which person you want to be your primary contact.

Thank you for your note, and for the connection. I enjoy reading your emails/blog posts. Take care.

It is with great pleasure that I can say that I have a job I love. BCG Attorney Search and my recruiter have a great role to play in this. Thank you guys!

It made it easy in that I really didn't have to look at postings on my own and I also didn't have to do the cover letter, which was super helpful. The firm that I got placed at, the HR rep, he used to work for BCG so there's already some sort of familiarity and something that was helpful going in and starting the process.

Very responsive, obviously successful, and Harrison really listened to what I was looking for as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare me for the interview. Without your guidance, I most certainly would not have been as crisp as I was that day!

Karen was very helpful and answered all of the many many questions I had. Iliked the ability that I had to contact her and she was easy to communicatewith and responded fast. It is really hard to search for job and work a fulltime job. Having her also on the lookout and having her do a lot of the work- from finding the job to passing my information along saved me so muchtime. Being an attorney and trying to do that takes up so much of your time.One thing I really appreciated that Karen did was when I did have the joboffer we had a pretty lengthy phone call just discuss the pro's & con's andmy worries about it and really just having a human to human talk about it.That was really helpful and great for me because it is always scary andexciting to accept a new job. Having her there to bounce ideas off of afterI got the job offer was a huge help.Emily LubarskyUniversity of Colorado Law School, Class of 2018Placed at Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C.

BCG Attorney search is a pleasure to work with.

I would like to thank my recruiter and BCG for all of their assistance in this process. My recruiter has been great; they are very professional, understand our business and, therefore, know what I am looking for. Over the last few months, I have worked with a number of recruiters, and I must say that my recruiter and their firm really stood out among them as one of the most professional. I truly enjoyed working with BCG.
