BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I love that I didn't have to do a lot of the searching myself. I didn't have to get the materials together like the cover letter and things like that, she just listened while we had a short conversation about what I was interested in and she checked off all the boxes and she found places that matched my criteria. The second part was the preparation she gave me for actually interviewing and how to do it with acceptance. From 1-10, I would give BCG a 10. I wasn't stressed at all, I didn't have to put forth any hours searching for anything, like I said, just being able to tell my legal placement professional everything I wanted and for her to come back with opportunities that matched that criteria, did like 90% of the work for me. BCG is number 1.

When I was considering a move, my first inclination was to seek an in house position, had even sent out a couple of resumes with no response. Then I met my recruiter. After discussing the current market, my strengths and my weaknesses with her, it became clear that a move to another firm would best fit my goals and the market. She helped me polish my resume and quickly got the word out. It wasn't long before I had my first interview. She was very helpful in my preparation for the interview, giving tips on the people I would be meeting with, and getting feedback afterwards. My recruiter was diligent in always following up. I really can't thank her enough, she was behind me 100%, and it paid off. I would highly recommend her to anyone contemplating a move in the legal market.

My recruiter is smart, competent and caring. Working with my recruiter is a pleasure. They know what they are doing and they know the field. My recruiter is very organized, accessible, processes matters immediately and keeps me aware of all steps in the job search process. They have excellent writing skills and know how to honestly highlight my relevant experience to match the job at hand. With their level of excellence, when I learned my recruiter is a Harvard Law School graduate I was not surprised. I highly recommend my recruiter.

My favorite part about working with BCG was the responsiveness and the diligence in following up on questions and requests. My legal placement professional's demeanor was very good and very encouraging. She was able to resolve a lot of my questions about the process so I felt pretty comfortable throughout. So overall it was a great experience.It was very clear that she was very experienced and she answered my questions about things that are new to me. So the institutional knowledge the company had was helpful to me. I found the guide she sent me to be helpful in preparing for interviews and negotiations. I think the interview prep in particular was helpful.The words that come to mind when I think of BCG are experienced, helpful, and pleasant to work with.I would describe BCG as very experienced, very responsive, and knowledgeable both about the process and about the opportunities that are currently out there. I think in particular my legal placement professional kind of let me dictate my own process. I have heard in other companies they try to control the process more and try to direct you to different opportunities that might be more relevant to them. But it was pretty interactive at BCG and she listened to my feedback. I was able to dictate what I wanted to do, so in that sense it was pretty comfortable.,

Your professionalism and dedication to understanding each candidate's need[s] are the most impressive. Thank you for your excellent services and advice on my job search in the past.

[Working with BCG Attorney Search] was real easy. It was very simple for me. [One of my favorite things was the] ease of communication. It opened a door to an opportunity that wouldn't have otherwise been open. [Working with BCG made my job search easier because of the] ease of communication, available opportunities, and success, because we found a placement. I [was] successful in [my] job search using BCG.

I chose the person; it was my recruiter at BCG in particular because of the attention I knew that she was going to give. She gave daily hand holding attention, which is critical. That just made a big difference. And I chose her over someone, who I was told is the biggest name in the field. [I did this] because I knew I wanted someone who was going to be a cheerleader [as] opposed to somebody who just had some big name. [BCG] walked [me] through each step of the process. I was coming from a different career [and] different market and didn't really know how I should present myself or anything. I knew I had strengths but I didn't know how to package them for this kind of thing. I knew how to package them for a client, but not for a new place [of] employment. [I would describe BCG as] scrappy, hungry, [and] supportive. I would rank you highly. You need someone who is really going to walk each step of the way with you. You already have your own cache so you don't need some place to give you cache. You need someone who is going to explain the process [and] go through the ups and downs with you. That's what you [have] going.

I thought the company was very professional and prompt, and made themselves available, particularly the legal placement professional I worked with. I felt like it gave me a better insight into how the employers were thinking about my resume. Particularly the insight that my legal placement professional got when he was working with hiring directors. He was able to share with me from time to time about their level of interest in my application that was helpful. It was also helpful to know a little more about market trends I didn't have a lot of clarity into otherwise. [BCG is] professional, responsive, [and] competent. I would recommend you. You did the job that I was hoping you would do for me very well. I understood the balancing act that you have to do between supporting the needs of the applicants and employers and I thought you handled that well.

I think the list of firms available was helpful. The text message follow ups were helpful too. [Working with BCG made my job easier because] you found me places to interview at. [BCG was] thorough, helpful, [and] responsive. [I would rank BCG] at or near the top [compared to other recruiting companies I have worked with]. [BCG is] a good recruiting company.

The background materials that they [BCG Attorney Search] provided for [my] job search were very helpful. You had a specific position posted that was very helpful to me. [BCG Attorney Search is] helpful, thorough and friendly.
