BCG Attorney Search Reviews

When I contacted my recruiter in Chicago I said that I wasn't even sure if I wanted to stay in the law. My recruiter was very understanding. There was no coercion, but my recruiter said this is what I have on the table at the moment, these are the firms and this is what they are like. They pointed out that it didn't have to be as it was at my previous firm. My recruiter was very familiar with the Chicago market, and they knew lots of information about the firms that were suggested to me. The pace was pretty fast, all in all, about 3 weeks from discussion to offer. Ultimately, I took an offer and, at the 6 month point, it's exactly as it was described.

My legal placement professional was very friendly and personable and did a great job of figuring out what I was looking for and before working with me, she spent a long time working on my resume with me and I felt like she really put in a lot of time and effort. Working with BCG made my search easier in a lot of ways, I didn't have to go and pound the pavement looking for diferent openings, she really took care of everything for me. She was also very knowledgeable about the market, which was great. It was a great experience.

I hope all is well. I recently secured a position as a legal recruiter and therefore will no longer be looking for a new job. Thank you for helping me look for a job over the last several months and for all of your advice.

The folks that I worked with were great, all around. The quality, response time, listening and communication. They were just great folks. I had a good experience and they are reliable. I preferred working with BCG and that is why I ultimately did work with you, in terms of the personal connection and the personal attention. I would come back to you in the future.

[My favorite thing about working with BCG] was getting the notifications for job opportunities and then sending approvals for them. I appreciated the way BCG lined up the positions in an email notification every week and I would easily take a look and approve them. Ultimately it was successful and I got a job so I liked that. BCG has some educational materials about getting a job, videos and webinars and what not. I didn't avail myself to most of them but I found the format interesting and would go back and use them in the future should I have a need.

My legal placement professional was very professional and responsive. She had good insight on the process and made it a well to do process. You guys kind of did the search for me and made it much easier. That is what you look for when you go to a recruiting firm. I haven't actually used recruiting firms in the past successfully so I would say by default, top of the list!

Sarah, in particular, was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was also very very positive. She helped pump me up before interviews and decipher if I liked the law firm after interviews. Those were the key things. [BCG] is unique in the sense that other recruiters I have worked with don't presumptively apply to law firms. You guys applied to 80 or 90 law firms on my behalf, even if there weren't postings which ended up being what got me a job in the end. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's? A. Definitely top, out of 5- top 2! Sarah was really really great and probably the best recruiter I have ever worked with.

My favorite thing about BCG was the availability of my recruiter. She was available at any time that I would text her, or call her sometimes she was driving but she always made herself available. I appreciated the general care to my interests and actually caring about my career goals. Sarah didn't seem like she had any kind of plant or lean but she was just completely about my own career goals and what would be best for me, even when I was considering non-BCG presented options, she was still available and happy to talk to me about those and I really appreciated that. I think that she's made my job search easier because she did a lot of the leg work with like helping schedule the interviews and talking to people in HR and so I didn't feel like I had to be the one communicating all the time. She assisted with all of that and it sure made it easier for me.

Recently, I had the privilege of working with my recruiter in your Chicago office and wanted to express how much I enjoyed working with them and BCG during my job search. Most candidates who have used other recruiters before BCG probably share the same story-a recruiter spends a short amount of time with a candidate and then wants to peddle a resume to a number of potential employers or sell you on an open position in another firm. Unlike recruiters at other organizations, my recruiter spent a considerable amount of time with me at the beginning of the process learning about my background, skill set, and motivations to find firms that would be a good fit. My recruiter was friendly and straightforward. They identified my strengths and weaknesses as a candidate and offered useful suggestions on preparing for interviews. My recruiter also prepared detailed summaries about me for firms that interviewers remarked were very helpful to them.

I was absolutely thrilled with the service I received from BCG Attorney Search and from my Chicago recruiter in particular. I've recommended you to several friends already.
