BCG Attorney Search Reviews

BCG was relatively responsive and they got my name out to a number of employers. I liked your aggressiveness.You guys identified some employers that I wasn't familiar with. The actual administrative process, [including] getting documents out to employers is a lot easier when you handle it.The first three words that come to mind when I think about BCG are professional, aggressive, and responsive.I had good results with your firm, so I would expect that they [one of my peers] would have similarly good results.

I thought that my recruiter, was exceptionally professional and was always very quick with her responses. I never really had to wait. When she explained things I'd ask lots of questions and she never seemed like she was impatient with the process. I really enjoyed working with her. I liked the weekly updates. It was easy for me to keep track of the places I had applied to and the status. I also liked being able to go in and check the website. The third thing I liked was the large network of firms that you guys have an association with. I was able to apply to many, many places using one recruiter, which was nice.I feel like after one initial 30-40 minute phone call with my legal placement professional she kind of took the reins from there. Whenever I decided I wanted to apply to more places she did it for me. So it was a huge help not having to prepare materials and cover letters and things like that for all of these different places. I just said I'd like to apply to these extra places and she'd do it. This made the process much easier for me.I think of BCG Attorney Search as extremely professional. I would say I was really impressed with them. I talked with some other recruiters and they all just seemed much more casual and dismissive and not quite as important. I feel like my legal placement professional was exceptionally professional.Among other recruiting companies I have worked with, I would say BCG ranks at the top.I would recommend that other attorneys look into you specifically if they are looking to make a move or at least get a feel for the market. From my experience you guys are patient, have lots of relationships, and do a good job presenting candidates and being intermediaries. I would definitely recommend that they consider BCG.

After each interview, my recruiter provided me with solid feedback of my performance, including my strengths and weaknesses, it was invaluable. I got the impression that she was an old hand at this, she was very confident in her guidance. She also knew so many people in the industry and large amounts of detail about each firm.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working with you during this process. As you know, I was working with a couple of recruiters. There was a stark difference in my experiences with you and the other recruiter. Your knowledge of the marketplace and your advice helped keep a daunting process manageable. I also appreciated that you were always available-- nights or weekends--for a quick question or update. In short, if any colleagues ask if I know of a recruiter, I will be sending them your way. Again, thanks for all of your help.

I deeply appreciate the time that you spent helping me with my job hunting & revising my resume, coaching me before the interview, providing advice on handling the offer. I was especially impressed with your advice on how to handle the job offer with [law firm] & it was excellent. Throughout the process, you were never overbearing or pushy & you were supportive and patient, and you let me make my own decisions at my own pace. Usually I feel quite alone when I'm interviewing, but not so when you were working with me. (Sorry, I don't mean to gush, but I'm being sincere.) Whenever any of my colleagues are looking for a new position, I always recommend you, telling them that you are the best recruiter I have ever worked with.

I had previously been working with a different recruiter and came across my legal placement professional. I immediately felt she was more on my side than my current recruiter. The level of feedback and updates I received on my progress was a huge difference over what I had been previously experiencing. As soon as I talked to my legal placement professional I knew I had to get rid of the other person I had worked with. She gave me information on the process and on the market that the other one had never done. That's all I needed. I got a job interview within a week or two from a firm I had been waiting for a month or more on. I think just the quality of the service, the attention to me, and the help and all the materials I was given to prepare interviews and so on made the difference. Working with BCG Attorney Search gave me the right job for me. It helped me find that first right job. The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG are exceptional and taken care of. I would say BCG Attorney Search is definitely ranked number one among other search firms. My experience is somewhat limited. Although I have dealt with at least two or three others, and some that I contacted I never got much back from. It is definitely number 1. I can't imagine having a much better experience. BCG Attorney Search really helped me, gave me a lot of attention, and got me through the process quickly and without paying or much else.

In May 2011 I sent an inquiry to BCG Attorney Search indicating my desire to find new employment as a litigation associate. I was promptly contacted by my Los Angeles recruiter, and couldn't have been luckier. My recruiter worked tirelessly to help me find the right firm, counseled me through the interview process and was a wonderful sounding board for me to ask questions about the recruiting/interview process and legal market. I found my recruiter to be responsive, knowledgeable and professional, but also personable and friendly, which is absolutely critical because I was making a large life decision by changing jobs. One very special attribute about my recruiter that I found refreshing was the fact that they were not pushy, as many recruiters can be. My recruiter understood and respected the traits that I was looking for in a firm, and did not try to push me into the wrong placement just so they could make a commission. I highly recommend my recruiter, and would use them again in the future if the need ever arises.

I have been truly impressed by the professionalism and courtesy of your recruiter. I assure that I will refer everyone I know and that I'll be in touch should I need to make a move. (But for my sake, I hope it's a while before I need your services.) Thanks again for kindness, and efforts on my behalf. My best wishes.

I have worked with her 3 times and it has been a great experience each time. I love her enthusiasm and her ability to find me just the right place that fits my needs - that has been my favorite part. [BCG] does the entire thing so other than looking for government or in-house jobs I relied completely on BCG! I have been very happy with the process, which is why I keep coming back.

I like that you guys have a website where you do postings. I think that is helpful because we can kind of see what's out there. Obviously you don't post the names, but I think even posting positions is a lot more than what other people tend to do. You can do it on your own time and look at the website when you want. That is helpful.My recruiter was very professional and was very knowledgeable (maybe because she used to be an attorney). She did a very great job.I would highly recommend you guys.
