BCG Attorney Search Reviews

Carolina was very responsive from start to finish. She promptly followed up to get my resume and materials to law firms searching to add an attorney in my areas of practice. She provided valuable suggestions on how to follow up with several firms that responded to her inquiries. She also followed up separately with law firms that showed an interest in me. All in all, it was a very positive experience working with Carolina and BCG.Carolina was very positive and upbeat about my prospects throughout the process. In these difficult times, this was especially appreciated. I would rate my experience with Carolina and BCG and superior to my experiences with other recruiters.

My legal placement professional did a good job of following up. I have used others in the past and sometimes you send your CV and you either get an initial call and then you never hear back from them. She was very diligent and would give me periodic updates, and it showed that she was really on top of things, and that was a good thing to see. BCG gave me access to certain openings which allowed me to apply and she did a good job of following up with her contacts at the firms that we submitted my CV to, and that is something that I don't have, like a personal connection with certain people at certain places and she was able to follow up and get my CV to their attention. BCG is ranked #1. My legal placement professional did a phenomenal job and I'm very happy.

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.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with my recruiter during my job search. Not only was I looking to make a move to a new firm, but I was looking to move to a different city as well. From New York, she was able to find many quality opportunities for me in various cities along the East Coast, until I was finally able to narrow it down to one city. My recruiter spent countless hours on the phone with me discussing my career, why I wanted to leave my firm, what I was looking to get out of my new job, and what type of positions would be appropriate for my career level. She also presented a few opportunities that were slightly out of the box that I might not have considered had it not been for her.

My recruiter put an immense amount of effort into helping me obtain a position that I would be happy with, including helping me revise my resume, calling me to discuss the details of various openings, and calling me before and after each and every interview to help me prepare and to debrief with me afterwards. I am not sure that many other recruiters would go to such lengths.

Something that is very important to me is that she was never pushy if I did not want to apply to a certain position, we always discussed why so that she could fully understand where I was coming from, and she always respected my wishes about where to apply. Additionally, I never felt like I was running after her for updates or information she was always in close contact with me throughout the process.

Only a week or two after my recruiter submitted my resume to various open positions, I had multiple interviews and callback interviews, and within 3 weeks I had a job offer, and 2 weeks later another. She also helped me navigate the slightly awkward task of communicating with the firm where I had the standing offer while I was still interviewing for other positions. I was extremely surprised at how smooth and easy the process had been, and I am sure it was due to her efforts. She also made herself available to me anytime I needed her throughout the process nights, weekends, etc., in order to be sure that I felt comfortable with my job search.

I believe that my recruiter truly cares about the individual she is working with and goes to great lengths to ensure that the individual finds a position that he or she will be happy with. I have already recommended her to several of my friends and will continue to do so in the future. In fact, I am still in contact with my recruiter months after my job search ended, and plan to continue to do so!

Not only was she great, but I was extremely pleased with BCG as a whole as well. My recruiter is an extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy source in her field, but if by chance she was unsure about something, she would reach out to her fellow recruiters at BCG and would always have an answer for me very quickly. I would definitely recommend BCG Attorney Search to anyone who is considering looking for a new position. --- Junior Corporate Associate, D.C.

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, and Carolina in particular, were essentially everything I would want in a recruiter. Prompt, responsive, checks in regularly, and always ready to hop on the phone for a call to discuss strategy, thought processes, and general concerns. Carolina was sure to make herself available whenever I wanted to talk, or even just vent! Further, her advice was always wise, on point, and well-considered.
Potential employers were way more responsive when I went through BCG vs. when I applied individually. BCG also sent weekly updates on who was interested and who wasn't - providing much more visibility into the process than an applicant would otherwise have.
[BCG] was the best. Other recruiters we always ready to collect my resume and "talk the talk," but only BCG actively and consistently stuck with me through the process - it's no surprise BCG found me an opportunity before anyone else did. Carolina did a phenomenal job. Not only did she find me a great placement in the middle of a massive economic downturn - she also took the time to understand me and my goals, and was tremendously reassuring during a difficult and stressful time. I'm really quite impressed with BCG, and plan on recommending it to anyone I know who's job-seeking in the legal industry.

My favorite thing about working with My legal placement professional was her quick response time. She was great!

[My favorite thing about working with BCG & my legal placement professional were] the list of opportunities that I was provided with your connections and know how in the industry. There were extra opportunities that I was missing in my personal search. Opportunities were delivered to me weekly. I also had someone who could direct me and review my essays, cover letter, resume and things like that she was particularly helpful with. These were particularly strange times to be looking for a position with COVID and she helped navigate the search very well and it all worked out.

It was great chatting with my recruiter in Washington DC. I've had the opportunity to chat with a few recruiters over the years but have never been as impressed as I was with my recruiter's enthusiasm and ability to pin-point the specific steps that I have taken over the course of my law school and professional life to advance my career in bankruptcy law.

My first impression of BCG was very good, because Harrison and I had about a two hour phone call. I'm very surprised that he spent that much time talking with me. He was interested in my background in graduate school, and I really think that it was more like a personal conversation, rather than a conversation geared toward an object of me trying to find a job, which was cool. Another good thing about it was that I got the sense that he was really trying to drill down and get information to make sure that you guys could do a good job for me. That was probably the best part of the experience, was that first thing that happened right of the bat, and that first call with Harrison.

I was able to do things that make money while you guys were finding me a job, which made my life easier.

When I think of BCG I think of the word professional, and I get the sense that you guys don't regard me as a commodity, a fundable unit that you just need to get rid of with somebody so that you can get your cash flow going.

In my experience, I would rank you and one other person as the very top experiences that I've had.

I've referred people your way. BCG Attorney Search is a very good choice, and I would describe you as reliable and responsive.
