BCG Attorney Search Reviews

BCG was super responsive and had great leads. I was kind of working on my own for a while, trying to find a few things. After working with BCG the number of firms and opportunities I had to get an in to the interview process was much [higher and] quicker. I enjoyed it quite a bit. BCG is highly professional. So far you are the best [recruiting firm] I've worked with. I would definitely recommend [you].

I would have to say that my favorite thing about working with BCG and my legal placement professional was the extent with which she valued my personal preferences. She took a lot of time speaking with me about what I was looking for in my next job, what kind of law I wanted to practice, and what kind of firm I wanted to be in and did a remarkable job of tailoring her search results to those preferences. On a more personal note, she really respected my time and you are respectful of my time too, I just mean she frequently talked to me after business hours because she knew that is when she know I was available. She made my job search exceptionally easier. I didn't, other than carrying a resume to the interview, have to do any document work. I sent all of my documents to her and I didn't even have to find my own connections and determine where my resume was going to be sent, the whole process was handled by BCG. It made it a lot easier and that was a process that would have otherwise been very time consuming. Especially when you are already working as a full time lawyer.

With respect to my legal placement professional specifically, I think she was very responsive, she was very proactive and seems like I got her attention and she was out there looking for opportunities for me. She was in a difficult position in part because I was working with 2 search firms before I touched base with her, so a lot of the obvious firms and opportunities were already being pursued by 2 other firms, so I wasn't expecting much, but I think she did a great job in thinking beyond the obvious opportunities and a little outside of the box, so to speak. I also wanted to mention that I appreciate the resources, brochures and publications by Harrison that provided a lot of insight in terms of interview tips and search strategies and things like that, which I found very valuable and was not something I was getting from the other 2 search firms that I had been working with. You guys handled a lot of the aspects of the logistics of setting up the interviews and getting quick feedback after interviews, definitely scouring the firms and opportunities available. In southern California, one thing that she did that I was not doing, was looking a little beyond LA which is where I was and was looking and I ended up in Orange Country which I am very happy about, so that was one thing that she did that definitely made things easier for me and ultimately more productive from the perspective of 1, getting to meet more firms and 2, finding the place I really liked the best. I have worked with a few search firms in the past, when I moved from DC to LA, but I really feel like BCG was really the best go to in terms of picking up a tough situation where I was already working with 2 search firms and thinking what value could they add at that point, also, the resources as I said, a lot of this is of Harrisons opinions and views on things which I talked about with my legal placement professional, whether he is right or wrong about these things, it's really good and valuable to have that view in the middle of the search process in terms of what the firms are looking for, what you should be looking for, what you should be thinking about, that to me really puts BCG above others and just based on the spring of this year, I was looking at so many different firms and job postings and it seems like BCG had so much more in terms of job postings and opportunities and contact.

Some of my favorite things about working with BCG Attorney Search include my legal placement professional, the representative that I worked with, as she was very responsive. She was very focused on what I wanted in a search and finding the opportunities that might fit what I wanted. Working with BCG Attorney Search made my job a lot easier because I didn't have to do the search myself. I did my job, so that was an enormous benefit for me because our schedules are not always conducive to doing a job search on our own. My legal placement professional made it manageable, and placed me in a job that I am very excited about. The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG Attorney Search are responsive, professional, and knowledgeable about the industry. That was an enormous asset as well. I chose you for a reason, because I talked to a couple of other firms that I had passed on. Speaking with my legal placement professional, she had a very strong knowledge and experience in the industry, and that definitely stood out to me. She was pretty diligent about the search. I ended up working with BCG, but I have friends who have worked with other recruiters who weren't very pleased. The other recruiters they worked with seemed very passive, where the recruiter submitted a resume once and that was the end of their experience. That was not my experience with BCG, in a good way. I would definitely recommend you guys to anyone I know who is looking for a recruiter, because I was extremely pleased with the service and the outcome. As for the process in general, I was impressed with how on top of things everyone was at BCG and how they monitor openings, finding ones that were suitable to my interests.

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.

I thought it was a great experience. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's you have used?A. I have only used 2, but so far you would be #1!

Basically, I didn't have to do anything until I got the job offer. I never had to check in, she would check in with me and she always worked around my schedule if I was really busy. It made it possible for me to look for and get a new job while working full time and being busy with my other job. My legal placement professional did a really good job at editing my materials that I sent in and giving me ideas on them, which usually others just edited grammar and such on them.Q.Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A.You check in more often, which is really nice. She also checked in with the firm's more often, she kept checking in with the hiring partners to give me updates and I hadn't seen that before. Usually recruiters told me that they had to wait 14 days and she didn't.

She never gave up on me. There was definitely a lot of effort put in for me. I liked how every so often I would get new firms chose particular for me and they really tried to address my interests and what I was looking for. It is very time consuming to look for a new job to begin with so it was nice to be able to have someone to do most of the leg work for you. Carleen was with me every step of the way and she answered any questions that I had. She also helped prepare me for interviews that I had. It was a good experience and I appreciate all the work that Carleen did.

I don't know all of the firms that are out there and that have openings and are looking for someone to fill a position. There are other types of ways to look through - LinkedIn and what not - but obviously it is easier when a recruiting agency has access to these firms and to these job opening and they can do the matching process based on what I am looking for and what the firms is looking for.

Becca was super responsive, very optimistic, supportive, and encouraging. She was very good about giving clear, constructive and specific advice. I found her to be very candid and honest which is very important because you want to be able to trust your recruiter and feel like they are looking out for your interests. 80% of the process was pretty hands off for me. I knew the applications were going out and I felt like I was job searching without doing all of the heavy lifting until it came time for the interview. Even there, communicating with the firm and their HR department - a lot of that Becca handled so I could just focus on preparing for the interview and the substantive aspect of it and giving my best in the interview.I had a great experience and I really enjoyed working with Becca and if I need a job again, she will be the first person I call!Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's you may have used?A. The best so far! BCG Attorney Search

My legal placement professional really helped streamline what can be a very overwhelming process and made it very simple to navigate. Karen did everything, the took care of all of the details so I could focus on identifying opportunities that she provided me with. I would rank BCG higher than other recruiting firms I have worked with.
