BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I really appreciate that BCG kept me up to date on the openings and found those for me and tried to give me a quick summary of what those entailed. It really saved me a lot of time because I didn't have to look at different job boards to keep myself updated because someone else was doing that for me. BCG Attorney search is #1.

I thought that the two [recruiters] I worked with were both very helpful and knowledgeable, both in terms of our phone conversations and [the fact that] they also sent me good prep material. Pretty much all aspects of [working with BCG made my job searched easier and] helped with identifying opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise. They worked [with me on] interview prep. The whole experience was very positive. I've only ever worked with one other company closely, [but] I was very happy with the whole experience [of working with BCG]. [The] recruiters were very knowledgeable. I even saw some interview [prep materials] and thought that was very well done. So I was very impressed and happy the whole time.

One thing I liked a lot about my legal placement professional was that she was super friendly and really responsive, and in her communications with perspective employers, she was very professional but also cheerful with them, which is kind of nice being the same way I would interact with people. She was a good person to have representing me because I felt like her approach was similar to my own which I really liked. BCG made my search easier in a lot of ways. I was out of the country for starters, and I had no easy way of doing a job search. It was super helpful to work with you guys and she to be able to get a job lined up. You guys are the only recruiting firm I have worked with, but I have had a really great experience. It was all positive, and I feel like she and I dialoged about my specific circumstances. We talked about what would make the most sense, what to try, and had a couple of conversations along those lines. I felt like I was being personally and individually represented. It worked out really well.

[My favorite things about working with BCG were] the regular weekly updates and information. Other people, you contact them and you don't hear back from them for weeks. [BCG] basically went out and found the opportunities for me, in every way, rather than me going out and having to do all the work. [BCG was] helpful. You're the only ones that got me an opportunity, so [I would rank you] first [compared to other recruiters]. [I would describe BCG as] useful, helpful, [and] a company that helped me find what I needed and what I was looking for.

[My favorite things about working with BCG and Sarah] was the weekly updates on how things were going. Sarah was also very responsive and very in touch over text. It was very useful to get updates over text because text worked better for me at times. She adapted to making text work since that is what worked well for me so I appreciated that as well. It made it easier to have the information easily and readily available and to have her available via text whenever she had a question or wanted to follow up on something. She was very easy to access.[Working with BCG made my job search] so much easier! Sarah was able to do the background work and talk to the firms hiring people to "make the sale" if you will. It took the pressure off of me of having to make a cover letter and having to do the searching around to find those positions - some positions may not even have been posted. I like the online portal and tracking system. She would send me a list of places she wanted to apply to and you just approve or not approve those applications. That was super helpful and the tracking capabilities were also super helpful. I had a very positive experience. I felt comfortable talking to Sarah. A couple times I would tell her "I don't know if I can do this today" and she would come through with a pep talk about this is why it is important to do this and giving me options. I cannot emphasize enough how much I liked the weekly updates and her accessibility via text.Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A. BCG is more comprehensive. At the beginning, before I even started searching, Sarah and I had a good conversation about if I still wanted to practice anymore and what was I looking for and what was interesting to me. In my mind she searched around for things that would be suitable for me instead of saying "I have this" and trying to fit me into something that was already on her plate.In terms of the structure of things, as I mentioned, such as the tracking - not just of where things had been sent but the status of the application was super helpful and the weekly updates. BCG is the best of the ones that I have worked with or that I have heard about those friends have worked with.

Brian assisted in placing me at McGuireWoods, and I have now finished my second month here. So far, so good. Brian really went above and beyond in first, evaluating what would be a good fit for my career trajectory, and second, making sure we promptly followed up on opportunities to maximize the probability of being considered. When we initially met Brian really took the time to understand my work background, career path, and personality so that he knew exactly how to market me to firms, but also what would be a good fit. I was even incredibly hesitant at the beginning because, although I was very confident in my work experience, I didn't know if all of the other numerous details like my transcript and law school could create the right result. Basically, meeting with Brian to discuss these possibilities took me in an unexpected but ultimately extremely rewarding direction. After I was offered an interview, Brian was extremely quick to make sure that I would be prepared. When Brian and I met for interview preparation, he gave me a rundown of all the normal things to expect, but also imparted a lot of his experience and wisdom from his years practicing as well as in recruiting. This was invaluable because, whether or not I followed each instruction to a tee, it set the tone and gave me the momentum to go in and interview feeling completely prepared. I believe that level of preparation really provided a confidence that made the difference. As well, even when I had doubts or inconsequential concerns, Brian took every effort to address those or put me at ease. In my case, there was a long waiting process to hear back. Brian, as I now know, followed up regularly to make sure that this opportunity wouldn't go away. In the end, I believe they said and did exactly what they needed to retain the attention of this firm. I can't say enough about how glad I am that Brian reached out when they did, for offering me this opportunity, and for helping me turn it into a huge jump in my career.

I really appreciated the resources my legal placement professional and BCG provided through literature and thought it was extremely helpful during my job search. My legal placement professional also gave me another voice to bounce ideas off of, kind of an objective 3rd party in a way. I have never worked with any other recruiters but my experience with my legal placement professional and BCG was great.

My legal placement professional is great. She is responsive and has inside info on a bunch of openings. She applied me to a bunch of places and has a great tracker tool you can use for updates as well. She helped me get an offer at a place that seems great.
