BCG Attorney Search Reviews

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

Hello Harrison,

I've read dozens of your articles over the years, and I recommend your site all the time to friends and family (including non-lawyers, because they can benefit from learning to see their careers from a business perspective). I have been unable to find a free database of information about the legal job market anywhere the internet that is in the same league in terms of depth of coverage. Your articles dig into every nuance imaginable about how to succeed in the legal marketplace, how to think about resume and cover letter drafting, how to get inside the head of partners, law firms, recruiters, clients, etc. Anyways, it's incredibly helpful. Thanks!

My favorite thing overall was that it streamlined the process for me. [There is] no way I would be able to devote the time required to gather materials and put together cover letters and mass mail. It allowed me to work at my prior job and allowed the process to move forward even though I couldn't devote all my day to it.

The responsiveness, whether it was by email or by phone call. And then keeping on track of the schedule of the interviews I had. I would always get text messages beforehand. The responsiveness was very good.

Dear Harrison, Thank you for your email below, which is extremely helpful. I didn't expect that you can be so kind as to show me the right path for the start of my career. This attests to the high ethinical standard and professionalism of you and your firm. I will try to spread the good words about your firm among my peers in my future career and hopefully we can cooperate somewhere down the road. Thank you again.

You guys had a lot of institutional knowledge regarding the field of law, especially big law, and making a lateral move. Kind of how to make yourself more marketable and things like that. A lot of that was actually really on point and really useful and helpful. I didn't really have a great mentor or contact kind in the location I was trying to move to, as I was trying to make a move to Houston. I didn't have anyone to bounce things of off and get feedback from. So you guys were really, really helpful on that.You guys really did take everything off of my plate, in terms of coordinating everything. I've worked with recruiters in the past who really didn't handle everything. In terms of getting my resume out there, facilitating interviews, and coordinating things you guys did all that for me and I really appreciated that. It allowed me to focus on my job.I would describe BCG as capable, efficient, and professional. I would rank BCG as number one. You guys were honest with me and Harrison was as well. I appreciated that he took the time to work with me.I think one of the biggest things I found out was how Harrison was. That was a big thing for me, because so many recruiters are just constantly out there trying to generate candidates. And while they are all very complimentary of me, all they have seen is my file on the firm website. Harrison was complimentary of me once when he reviewed my bio, but then after he had reviewed my resume and we had spoked a couple of times, I actually thought he was giving me honest feedback about things that I said, what the reality of me getting a job was in the market, and what my options were in the market. He also talked about what mattered and what didn't, kind of where I fit in based on the law school I went to, things like that. And that is really valuable, because you get so many calls and so many emails as an attorney at a large law firm about this stuff. Most of it's just fishing. So to have somebody that actually paid attention, once I gave him my information, and thought about it and gave me honest feedback was really valuable.

[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.

You've got great stories. Thank you for sharing them, they're really helpful, not just for my law search, but for life and dealing with people.

My most favorite thing is that I got a job through BCG. I liked that I had a good introductory call with Harrison. We had a good discussion about my background and interests which I thought was helpful. I had mock interviews that were informal with Harrison and some other people too. I thought that was good as well.

BCG Attorney Search made it easier because I didn't have to send my resume out to a bunch of firms. I just sent it to BCG and through you I was able to make contact with some firms. So that was very helpful.

Thinking about BCG brings back happy memories of getting the job I wanted.

I would say you are very helpful, and that you are different than some other search firms in that you try to find out what the best fit is for each person. You don't seem like the type of firm that just sends out someone's resume to one hundred different firms and hope that something sticks. You see what would be the best fit on both ends. You try to cater to the individual circumstances of each person.

I think that in particular Carleen was very responsive. She would communicate to me almost on a daily basis any developments. If I had concerns she would usually respond within a few minutes. It was also helpful to me that we did some on the phone interview practice and counseling. I think that made a difference in my interview that ultimately led to me getting the job that I have now. [Working with BCG] certainly cut out a lot of the leg work that I would have had to do on my own. I think it also helped to have a sort of professional middle person or institution communicating with the HR department in various firms which I think have their own industry wide way of communicating. I would describe BCG Attorney Search as aggressive and receptive. I would recommend what your firm has to offer.
