BCG Attorney Search Reviews

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 BCG was the proactive approach. They didn't just go after listed opportunities, but actually solicited with firms that hadn't published opportunities yet.Working with BCG made my job search easier because they submitted my resume, and the weekly status reports were helpful updates.The first three things that come to mind when I think of BCG are professional, comprehensive, and user friendly.You are the best recruiting company I have worked with.I would describe you to a peer as very helpful and I would recommend your firm.

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.

Honestly, the best part [about working with BCG] was getting a job in the end, especially when I had mostly stopped looking for myself. Carolina was willing to listen to what I was looking for and tried to match that with somewhere where I'd be happy. I'd said I wanted to do writing, and she shopped me around as a writer. I've only been at this new job for a few weeks, but it seems to be a much better fit than some of the places I was applying (and not getting). Even though it took a while, I still feel like you did a good job. A lot of that was the coronavirus, I'm sure, but taking the time to find a firm that was specifically looking for someone who was looking to write, not necessarily looking to get in a courtroom all of the time, was a big plus.
Q. How did working with us make you job search easier?
A. Well, for one, I didn't have to do the searching. But firms seem to reach out to you guys. Sometimes a middleman is a bad thing, but sometimes the middleman is a good facilitator, and that's what I felt happened here. I was also able to let someone else do the searching while I watched my son during the day.

Q. Where would we rank/compare to other recruiting companies you may have used?

A. Since you got me the job, I'd put you on top. Even without that, you didn't pigeonhole me into "temp" work just because your firm was divided into temp and permanent placement (and make it hard to get into the other group), so I'd still put you on top. My sample size isn't large, though.

Working with BCG Attorney Search made my job search easier because there were a lot of openings in one place.

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.

She was very knowledgeable about the market and had a large scope of information on both mid-sized and AmLaw firms. She was great at negotiating the offers that came in with the firm, ultimately to the offer that I accepted. She was able to give me advice on time frames in which to answer firms that did move forward with offers and help navigate that process. She provided excellent service. Sarah is awesome, great, thoughtful, and diligent. A pleasure to work with.

Working with my recruiter was really great because she was easily reachable, and we had very candid and direct conversations about the job market, which was helpful. Working with BCG made my job search easier because I did not have to spend the additional time to coordinate and communicate with employers since lot of it was facilitated through BCG. I really enjoy where I am working. I appreciated my recruiter's professionalism and commitment to making sure her clients were at least satisfied and their concerns were addressed.

I think you guys are really responsive. I mainly worked with two recruiters at BCG and they were both really responsive and I felt like they really cared about my situation and the best fit. They were very pleasant to work with; it wasn't tedious to be on the phone with them. Working with BCG made my job search easier because I did not have to apply to anything on my own.

The first words that come to mind when I think of BCG are fast and reliable. I have already referred people to BCG.

My legal placement professional was terrific! She was very on top of the industry and had a lot of great experience. She seemed to really be in touch and knew all of the jobs that were out there looking. She communicated with the firm and me and it was a nice collaboration and to be able to rely on her to communicate with the firms directly. Having BCG and my legal placement professional gave me a go-to resource for all my questions. I was looking for a very specific job in a specific geographic location and your database seemed to be able to readily identify what was available in the market. It was straight forward from there and then my legal placement professional would reach out to gauge if there was an interest. It made my job search and approach very efficient. I would give my legal placement professional the highest marks in every category.Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A. I worked with one other smaller recruiting firm but it seemed like your resources and the articles and the network was helpful. During these crazy pandemic times, it was great to rely on BCG's network so if we hadn't heard from a particular firm she could reach out to her colleagues and figure out where the firm was at - if there was a hiring freeze, are they still recruiting, etc. That was very helpful and insightful!
