BCG Attorney Search Reviews

My favorite thing about working with BCG was that they were fast and knowledgeable. They were able to make my job search easier because they helped prepare me for interviews successfully. They knew people and had contacts with the firms I was interested in. I would describe them as being very competent.

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.

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 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!

My recruiters make a fantastic team. They helped guide me through the entire job search and had great tips, especially about interviewing. I was completely satisfied with my experience. If the need arose, I would definitely use them again. They were insightful, attentive, and extremely pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them.

Thank you for your assistance. As I indicated on the call, I can tell that my recruiter in Washington DC is extremely competent and professional, and consequently believe that they are the right person to assist in my search.

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.

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.

[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.

I really liked my consultant, she helped me prepare for interviews, I had a lot of questions that she responded to. She also helped with my interview preparation, and how to negotiate getting the job offer.BCG helped make my job search easier because my consultant taught me how to make a lateral move and gave me interview prep. The particular job I was looking at, I had seen a post on the BCG website, then I contacted BCG. They then put me in contact with the person I worked with. She was really helpful in terms of helping me figure [out] how to do the logistics of a lateral move and how to prepare for the interview. She also helped me work on my resume. Those kind of things were very useful.The first words that come to mind when I think of BCG are helpful and responsive. My recruiter did a very good job.
