BCG Attorney Search Reviews

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.

I wanted to thank you again for your help throughout the process. Not being from the area, your insight and knowledge of the local market was a tremendous help. I also appreciated your candor and advice when I was evaluating the various opportunities presented to me. Most of all, I am grateful you helped steer me towards the opportunity that was best for me. I would be glad to recommend you to any colleague considering making a professional change in the D.C./Northern VA market.

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.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Becca?

How quickly everything went! I worked with a few other recruiters in the past and I didn't get very much traction. I had 1 or 2 interviews but I didn't really feel like I had any chance going in. Becca got me very very prepared for every question posed to me. I felt thoroughly prepared for each of my interviews.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

The network that BCG has. I had been searching pretty passively prior to being contacted by Becca. It is hard to find jobs in the legal field and you're on LinkedIn or wherever but it's still not a big network to get into. However with BCG, Becca was able to get me, I think, 3 interviews in the first week of working with her. Like I said, she also did a phenomenal job about getting me prepared for said interviews as opposed to the other recruiters I worked with. [With them] I felt like I was going into those interviews feeling okay but I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was and I didn't get a call back.

Anything else?

I really appreciated all of the work Becca did and she was always very easy to get in contact with. I enjoyed working with her so much that I have actually already referred 2 of my friends. Like I said, I have worked with a few other people [recruiting firms] and no one was able to get me results nearly as quickly so I am confident she will be able to help them like she was able to help me.

BCG's assistance with my job search was invaluable. Being relatively new to this city, I had some basic degree of knowledge regarding the personalities of the different firms in town; but my recruiter was able to fill in a lot of holes. His recommendations as to which firms would suit my interests and which seemed to be in the market for lateral associates with my qualifications were very sound. After working with me to come up with a list of firms to target, he prepared a cover memo that would accompany my resume; his memo made a concise, powerful case as to why I would be a perfect candidate for the target firms. And it was effective: I received an interview with the firm I was most interested in, was invited back for another round of interviews, and ultimately received and accepted the firm's offer. My recruiter in Boston was a good sounding board throughout the interview process; and, in short, he gets my strong, unqualified endorsement as a levelheaded and knowledgeable resource for any lawyer looking to make a move in this area.

Hi Harrison,

I wanted to thank you for reaching out by text this afternoon. Status quo for the most part on my end at the moment, but I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and your team keeping me up to date about new opportunities. I've spoken with other recruiters who essentially have disappeared after an initial conversation, so the attentiveness and organized approach that you and your colleagues have shown has meant a lot to me. I look forward to the status report emails and notifications of new listings, and I'm really pleased to be working with your firm. I will definitely recommend you to any friends and colleagues who are searching or thinking about searching.

All the best,

Thank you for your professional attention and timely response to my application. The information received from BCG Attorney Search has been very instructive, and the referral to LawCrossing was highly appreciated.

I thought that because BCG was a larger recruiting firm that service would not be as personable--I was so very wrong and am SO glad I gave BCG a chance. Becca Levine was so great. It was easy and pleasurable to work with her and she was so responsive--I felt like I was her only client.I simply would not have the job I do today [if not for BCG]. I had worked with other recruiters for 6+ months before working with BCG and accepted my current position within about a month after working with Becca.The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG are effective, personable, and diligent.I would rank you at the very top [compared to other recruiting companies]. No question about it.If you're looking to make a move, contact BCG. While I cannot attest that every recruiter is as wonderful as Becca, her dedication and commitment to finding me a new position was unparalleled and working with her was an incredibly positive experience.

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.

My legal placement professional reached out to me on a cold email and I looked her up and we had similar backgrounds so I called her and she made the process really simple. She had me send her my resume, transcript and a writing sample and she sent me a list of firms in a couple days. She made it really easy and it was pretty chill, uncomplicated and easy to understand. Very straight forward. On the BCG front, I appreciated having a bajillion articles on a bunch of different topics that I tend to think about. The liked the app and having all of these resources and articles was very helpful. What I appreciate the most about she is her tenacity and it isn't overbearing. I am sure there are recruiters that are tenacious with a hammer but she is tenacious with a scalpel.A bit of my story with BCG and being hired at Mayer Brown - at first the recruiting manager said they would pass on me and gave a reason, my GPA. My legal placement professional explained to me that they normally don't give a reason and the fact that he did give a reason opened a door for her to chime in and give her perspective to counter their point. Because of that they passed my resume onto the rest of the firm and then I was able to seal the deal through the interview process. She's willingness to do that is really great. I think it is super easy for people to just move on because they already said no. What was great about my legal placement professional is that Mayer Brown was a huge reach for me to get and I feel really lucky; and she knew that and that the chances were low but despite that she doubled down and told the firm why they should consider me. It think it is a testament to her character. Most people would be like "I knew he wasn't going to get it anyway so if I doubled down it won't help the situation since the chances are low so I am just going to move on and use my time more strategically". The fact that she did that changed the course of my career and it meant a lot! She was super friendly, always available no matter the time or day via text or email or call. If I wanted a call she was available right away, no question about it. What I appreciate about my legal placement professional is that she was super supportive and very encouraging. I don't think she just saw me as a job or a box she needed to check. She was interested in who I was as a person and the encouragement she offered me was very tailored. Some people offer general encouragement because that is what you are supposed to do and that can come across as insincere but she provided me with encouragement that wasn't overblow and was very specific to who I was. When she had doubts, she told me she had doubts but at the end of the day she reminded me that I was a good candidate and there can be a win for me. She reminded me that I have a lot to offer. This process is extremely stressful and her being so encouraging made this process a lot easier, so I am really grateful for that.
