BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I decided to switch from a transactional practice to a litigation practice and BCG was able to find the perfect job. I'm actually making more money at a smaller firm that is a perfect fit for my personality. BCG is definitely the best way to go when you're searching for a new job. I can't thank them enough!

I worked with a different recruiter before I worked with BCG Attorney Search, and the difference was like night and day. My recruiter was very responsive to any questions I had, always calling me back within hours if I left a voicemail. Moreover, his knowledge of the market in the Bay Area for lateral associates was nothing short of impressive. He gave me his assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of the practices at the various law firms, which my interviews confirmed. He also gave me insight into the cultures of the different firms and where I might find the best fit. In fact, the firm he thought would be the best fit for me proved to be the firm I chose to join, and I don't think I could have made a better choice. I recommend BCG Attorney Search wholeheartedly.

She was really responsive. Anytime she emailed me with a list of firms and I responded back saying what I was interested in, she would respond right away and let me know she was going to submit me. She was super super responsive and consistently would send me emails about multiple opportunities. I feel like other recruiters I worked with in the past will contact you about an initial opportunity and then once you speak with them you never hear from them again or maybe hear from them in 3 mos but she was always consistently sending me opportunities, weekly, which is nice. When she reached out she sent me multiple opportunities. Other recruiters in the past have contacted me with one opportunity in mind, which is fine, but I think it's nice for attorneys who are looking for new jobs and new opportunities to get multiple possible options, so that was great. With the negotiation with my other employer, when I talked to her about things that were important to me in my next job I feel like she really listened to what I wanted. Sometimes other recruiters you get the sense that they just want to place you somewhere so they can get their commission but with her I really felt like she really listened to the things that mattered to me. Specifically, finding a job that was in commercial litigation but was also practicing in intellectual property, which is where I am really passionate about. She made sure once I got the job offer to go back to the partners and express to them in a professional way that that was what I was really interested in. Also, trying to negotiate a higher salary for me which is really nice. I feel like she really advocated for me, whereas other recruiters sometimes want to dial down or ask for less. When we had after I told her I got the job opportunity she didn't try to pressure me into saying "yes". She was excited for me but I also told her what I was concerned about and what was important to me and I feel like she really advocated for me. In terms of BCG, it was a great experience! I had the best experience working with her, she was great! It made it easier because the opportunities Carleen would email and other people at BCG would email me about were opportunities that I didn't see online. I would also look on my own online to see what positions were available and a lot of the firms that were looking, I didn't see online. Maybe the firms were trying to look in a confidential way or have recruiters just look for them so that #1 made it easier. I feel like I got exposure to opportunities that I wouldn't have found by myself. #2 - because there were so many opportunities and lists of firms they would email be about, if I wasn't interested in something because it's not the practice area that I want to focus on they had no problem with that whatsoever. They said "Okay, no problem. We want to make sure you find a job that you are happy in and not just place you anywhere." It made it really helpful to get a list of so many opportunities and if there were a couple that I just wasn't interested in, it wouldn't be a big deal because there were so many others they would email me about. Those 2 things made it really really helpful.Also, having Carleen, once I did get the offer, go back to the partners and express that I was really excited about the opportunity but to make sure to stress the things that were important to me I felt like made it a lot easier. I had a great experience working with you all, and I will be sure to refer any of my friends/associates/former colleagues to you whenever the time comes for them to start their job searching process.

I moved across the country to an entirely new legal market, and my recruiter was able to find me a position at a top firm within three weeks. She was professional, responsive, and I do not believe I could have secured this position without her assistance. She is an invaluable resource, and I would recommend her to any professional looking to make a move.

My Los Angeles recruiter was extremely helpful in my career search. Unlike a lot of other recruiters, I felt like my recruiter was committed to helping me find the right position that would be a good fit, rather than just pushing me towards any attorney opening. My recruiter was very patient and responsive whenever I reached out with questions or concerns. My recruiter is an excellent recruiter and I will recommend them to any friends or colleagues looking for a new opportunity in the legal field.

I worked with my legal placement professional over several months; I really enjoyed working with her very much. She was very personable and very responsive. She really was a pleasure to work with. It made the process much more enjoyable and more efficient. She was just a joy to work with.Working with BCG Attorney Search made getting a job much easier, because my recruiter had the contacts with the recruitment directors at the various firms. That made it much easier for me to get interviews with those firms than if I would have submitted my resume cold without that connection through BCG. So, I think it was really vital in getting me interviews and helping me eventually land with Husch Blackwell.The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG are helpful, professional, and I think in my case the third word would be indispensable. I don't think I could have gotten placed in my current position without your help.I would rank BCG Attorney Search right at the top. I have occasionally worked with other recruiting companies, but your company by far was the best experience I've had.I would obviously recommend BCG very highly based upon my experience with the company. I found the company and in particular my legal placement professional to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and really indispensable in helping me with my search. It was overall a very good experience for me and I would highly recommend the company.

The legal placement professional who I worked with had a lot of knowledge about the firms I applied to. That was helpful, especially because I was looking in a market that I'm not currently working in. She [also] had a relationship with the firm that I ended up being placed at, and I thought that was helpful.[Working with BCG improved] the logistics [of my search]. I think it would have been very difficult for me to have distributed my resume, the letters, and everything else to the number of firms that [were] involved if I hadn't worked with my legal placement professional.[BCG Attorney Search is] worth talking to to see if it is a good fit [for you].

You work very hard and do an excellent job. After meeting with you, I came home and told my significant other that I wish that I had worked with you when I left my former firm. At the time, I thought all legal recruiters were essentially the same. I am pleasantly surprised that I was wrong. Thanks again!

I write to express my sincere appreciation for the work BCG has provided in helping me find a job. My recruiter's assistance, knowledge, and enthusiasm are unparalleled. My case was not an easy one, and her methods of assistance have been helpful. She covered all the bases: reviewing my resume, drafting a cover letter, educating me about the firms I would be visiting, and quizzing me with sample interview questions. And even though I am admittedly an impatient person, she fielded my daily phone calls and always had immediate answers. Most important, she has a true enthusiasm for the work that she does and the people she works with. She always has a great attitude. In sum, she is the best recruiter I have ever worked with. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, skill, and prowess are unequaled.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with my recruiter during my first legal job search. Not only a move to a new field in patent from a science background, but also to a very competitive area. My recruiter was able to find many qualified opportunities for me in various cities, at the same time, my recruiter strongly established in me a confidence in securing a legal position. My recruiter discussed with me in detail, and provided deep suggestions about application strategies and targeted law firms. I am 100% satisfied that my recruiter is the key person for my legal career.
