BCG Attorney Search Reviews

[I like how BCG] took the lead, and got everything done. [It was] a stress and hassle free process. You handled all the necessary background work, [such as] cover letter writing and the application process, and allowed me to focus on my current job without distractions with the process. [BCG is] reliable, efficient, and great. I would strongly recommend you. It was a stress free process. [BCG] took care of everything and kept [up] the communication without overly hassling me.

I think my favorite thing about working with BCG and Becca was just overall the advice on how to approach the search, I feel like that was very informative. I think that the search brought to my attention, opportunities that I might not have otherwise found, so ensuring that it was as broad as possible. BCG is the first recruiting firm I have worked with and I feel like they are number 1!

I like how organized BCG was and the ease of access/use of the website. Becca was very responsive and knowledgeable about the market. Becca alerted me to opportunities I would have missed on my own, and she provided me with new postings every week or so. I trusted that nothing would be missed.

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

A. I worked with two other recruiters and BCG was a lot more communicative and helpful.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Becca?

Becca was extremely helpful! She was available by phone whenever I needed her and she gave me some helpful hints on the interview process. Ultimately, she got me exactly the job I was looking for.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

She found the job for me so didn't have to find it. She applied to the position for me and it wasn't even a listed position. I didn't have to go through the astonishingly burdensome process of uploading a resume and having it auto populate wrong, which I had to do on a number of the other websites/firms where I applied. She did everything and I didn't have to do anything at all apart from the law school part and showing up and not being a total a** in the interview.
Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

# 1 because none of the other companies got me a jobs, they got me interviews but nothing else, so you get first place for that. I worked with Parker Lynch and one other and I thought they were fine but Becca was much more responsive than the others.

Anything else?

One of the think that I experienced with a couple of recruiters in my time as a lawyer this year and you get someone that is really excited and they say "You've got a great resume, I've got all of these things, hang on a minute and I'll get right back with you on Tuesday and we are going to have interviews for you" and then 2 weeks later I email them because I haven't heard anything and I never got a response. That didn't happen here and it has happened with other places in this particular search. Becca was always there whenever I emailed so that is one thing that really sets your firm apart from the others.

One thing I really enjoyed regarding BCG was the dashboard and their user friendly aspect of their website as far as applying to jobs and being able to be notified regularly through email about any job openings or postings and having the filtering aspect of the search process which was helpful. With Becca in particular, I thought she was extremely helpful regarding preparation for interviews, searching for jobs that I wouldn't have found myself that were applicable to my skills and requirements, size of firms, etc. I felt that she was so on top of everything and keeping in contact with me. One think I really enjoyed was her communication with me and keeping my search on track in terms of what we needed to do and making sure my resume was up to date. I can't state how helpful she was in getting me prepared and ready for the job interviews.

BCG made the process easier in terms of organization and in searching for applicable jobs and firms that I would be interested in working at that were in my different areas of expertise. Preparing for the job interviews and assessing what I needed to do and what further contact, either Becca or I, should make to the hiring team. Having someone with knowledge on how to work with a private firm, especially for someone like myself that was coming from the nonprofit government / academic side of law.

I really can't state enough how much Becca helped me and the material that BCG provided. Her constant communication and her being on top of everything when I needed her and being available, even on the weekend, was really appreciated.

[My favorite thing about working with BCG was] great about getting interviews. I have worked with other recruiters before and independently and I had little success getting interviews and Becca was great and consistently ensuring that I was actively involved in the process. I liked how she coached me or gave me the option for a call prior to each interview. That was a helpful touch that I hadn't experienced with other recruiters.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

I worked full time, 9-10 hours a day, so knowing and being confident that Becca was working behind the scenes made it easier for me to still perform my job well but also have access to opportunities. I liked that fact that there were all kinds of lists of firms available. And to go back to my first point, I really trusted Becca because I was constantly having interviews so she was definitely working on my behalf and all I had to do was show up for the interviews. It was a great accommodation of my schedule.

Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

The best! The best in terms of advice, giving different options, and again, getting all of the interviews. Out of the other recruiters I worked with Becca is definitely the best.

The best thing about working with Becca and BCG is that it was so organized. Daily or every other day or so I would get new firms I would go through. Often times the interview times were set up through her and she had it on point. There were several times that Becca did mock interviews with me which was very good. She was always very responsive and very helpful.

[Using BCG] made my job search way easier. Before I would be applying individually to a firm here and there but being able to apply to 10-15 at a time made it made it way easier and things moved quicker. Becca and BCG were amazing!

Becca is amazing! She is great to work with. She was on top of everything and really knew her stuff. She got me interviews fast and I was placed quickly. Without a doubt, I would go to her again if I am ever in the market. She is incredible.

What where some of your favorite things about working with BCG and Becca?

How quickly everything went! I worked with a few other recruiters in the past and I didn't get very much traction. I had 1 or 2 interviews but I didn't really feel like I had any chance going in. Becca got me very very prepared for every question posed to me. I felt thoroughly prepared for each of my interviews.

How did working with us make you job search easier?

The network that BCG has. I had been searching pretty passively prior to being contacted by Becca. It is hard to find jobs in the legal field and you're on LinkedIn or wherever but it's still not a big network to get into. However with BCG, Becca was able to get me, I think, 3 interviews in the first week of working with her. Like I said, she also did a phenomenal job about getting me prepared for said interviews as opposed to the other recruiters I worked with. [With them] I felt like I was going into those interviews feeling okay but I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was and I didn't get a call back.

Anything else?

I really appreciated all of the work Becca did and she was always very easy to get in contact with. I enjoyed working with her so much that I have actually already referred 2 of my friends. Like I said, I have worked with a few other people [recruiting firms] and no one was able to get me results nearly as quickly so I am confident she will be able to help them like she was able to help me.

I worked with Becca primarily, but there were other recruiters involved who were very good. I think the best thing that they did that I noticed was different from other recruiters that I've worked with in the past is the strategic approach they took to send the applications in [and] send resumes in to a large number of places. I thought that made a lot of sense and it worked out really well. And they were great to work with. For me, it turned out I was kind of an unusual candidate. It turned out to be a very quick process...I wasn't expecting that. I think part of that was just because of the strategy of applying widely. I thought that was great. [When I think of BCG] honestly the first word that comes to mind is Harrison Barnes. [He is] one of the reasons I liked BCG before I got involved with you guys. He is kind of well-known in the law community. I've always liked his articles...there were one or two in particular that I had read, I think about getting back into big law after a leave that I think were very good and well put together...it kind of put me over the edge...that's what made me decide to reach out. I do have another recruiting friend. I think it's notable that I didn't go with his company for this. I've got another recruiter that I've worked with and they have even placed me in the past and I didn't go with them. I put you guys ahead of them in terms of just getting the job done. I would describe you guys as being very efficient [and] very focused on the end result, which is great. Again, I think the whole approach from the beginning was [to] get the best results in the most efficient way. I think that that's the right approach.
