BCG Attorney Search Reviews

With my Chicago recruiter's help, I received an offer within six weeks. Throughout the process, I was impressed by not only my recruiter's professionalism and investment of time in my search, but also by their genuine care and concern for me as an individual. I would highly recommend my recruiter to anyone in the market.

I found a job through BCG Attorney Search. They made my job search easier because there was just this one opening presented to me and then we applied and I got it. I think BCG is very resourceful. They know about the openings, which helps. BCG was helpful.

[Some of my favorite things about working with BCG & my legal placement professional as her] responsiveness and attentiveness. She was really good about sending me opportunities as they became available. The openings and firms that were sent to me were some that I wouldn't have likely found on my own. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend my legal placement professional.

I am so grateful for your assistance throughout these past couple of months. I really have enjoyed working with you and very much appreciate your efforts.

My legal placement professional was very thorough and extremely helpful with the lateral associate interview preparation and with the types of questions and framing the answers, etc. My legal placement professional handled finding all of the types of firms that I could apply to, doing the research adjusting from a large city to a smaller city, because she scoured the market for me to find the appropriate firms which saved me the time that I would have had to spend doing it.

BCG recruiters have participated in a number of Northwestern Law career programs, including our Mock Interview Program and our Market Series, which introduces students to different legal markets around the country. We have been extremely pleased with the recruiters from BCG who have generously given of their time to help students in their career planning. We have received excellent feedback from students about the recruiters and the programs they have presented. We're looking forward to working with BCG on future programs.

The cover letter, that the people I was working with drafted, I thought it was very thoughtful, and I appreciate the level of detail. Another thing I certainly appreciated during my experience working with BCG, is the amount of applications that the recruiter had been sending out on a daily basis. The volume of work that was done to help me secure position, definitely appreciated. It was easier because it took all of the leg work out of the equation for me, and to not have to research listings. To actually go through the process of submitting a formal application can be obviously very time consuming. Also had someone who could help me negotiate compensation packages, be the middleman, and take the awkwardness involved out of the situation in a very seamless, almost effortless experience for me. On a scale of zero to 10, I'd probably put it at 8.5, because prior to working with BCG, I did speak with several other recruiting agencies, and in the beginning, they would be very active and follow up timely, then very quickly the relationship would disintegrate and then I would never hear from them, so I guess compared to that, I would give it at at least an 8.5.

My favorite things about BCG are that they seem to know of every opening and are pretty thorough. Working with you made my job search easier because you guys know all of the openings and all of the firms to contact.I would rank BCG very high among other recruiting companies I have worked with and would recommend you highly to one of my peers.

My recruiter was very professional. She responded and took a lot of questions both during office hours and outside of office hours, which is very helpful. The process was a very efficient process. I like how I was provided firms, which my recruiter believed were a good fit for me. I was able to review them and provide responses. If it took me a couple of extra days to review something or get back to my recruiter, she would always reach back out and make sure I was staying on top of the ball, which is very helpful.It helped find jobs and listings that I otherwise would not have found online. And it also helped introduce me to law firms that I otherwise would not have known about or would not have known to research. I've only briefly worked with one other recruiter individually. I would say it ranked very high up there, definitely higher than my other experience. Like I said, the efficiency and the ability to really motivate and push me was helpful. The one other recruiter I worked with would show you all these different jobs and say, these are all great; you are great. That's just not realistic. I think BCG did a good job at maintaining expectations and helping point you in a direction and making it clear, this might be a firm that would be more of a reach, or this is definitely one that we should be looking at, I really appreciated those insights.

Hi Harrison - I've read your blog posts for a number of years and have never found anyone else's writing so truthful about working at a US law firm - I love reading your posts.
