BCG Attorney Search Reviews

[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.

Job searching is always stressful no matter what, and adding a global pandemic on top of that is extremely stressful. Having someone to guide and coach me through that process took a huge weight off my shoulders. Sarah was always available, extremely kind, and very personable and easy to talk to. I felt like she really cared about where I ended up and I always enjoyed my conversations with her. She was always very happy and excited, which made me feel happy and excited about the process rather than stressed out.
Rather than having to look up new job openings and reach out to firms myself, you all did the upfront hard work for me. That allowed me to focus on perfecting my resume, cover letter, and preparing for interviews.
I really enjoyed my experience working with Sarah, and I am very happy with the job I ended up at because of her. It turned out to be a perfect fit and was a very easy process.
Q. Where would we rank/compare to other recruiting companies you may have used?
A. I have not used any other companies before, but I would recommend BCG to anyone and I would be happy to work with Sarah again in the future if I ever decide to get a new job.

My favorite thing about working with BCG Attorney Search and Sarah was that she was always able to answer questions I had about each role and was a great negotiator on my behalf. She just continued to reach out and share listings with me that I thought would be appropriate, until I was hired. I haven't worked with a recruiter in the past, but this was a great experience.

The outcome was incredible. I am exactly in the position that I always wanted to be in and dreamed of. This wouldn't have happened without [BCG] and Sarah taking a keen interest and doing an awesome job. She was really easy to talk to, really encouraging and helpful in getting me as prepared as I could be by giving me tips and advice going into interviews. She reached out to the right firms and contact and everything worked out perfectly.

It put me in contact with the right firm ultimately and it wasn't a firm that had anything posted. I ended up at Barnes Richardson and Colburn and they didn't have an open position but Sarah somehow knew that they had potentially expressed some kind of interest in finding somebody with my type of background. It made it easier because it opened up a door that I didn't know existed and ultimately it was the right door to go through.

I just can't say enough good things about her. Such a friendly and professional person who had a huge impact on my life and made my life totally different because she took the time to reach out to me and work with me and work on my behalf. I just want to express my appreciation, really.

Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?

A. Definitely the best!

The fact that my recruiter submitted my information to a lot more law firms than I ever would have found on my own was my favorite thing about working with BCG. This made my job search a lot easier because I didn't have to find and apply to places on my own.

Sarah handled everything and cared about and was interested in what we were interested in, and wanted to support us and guided us through the entire process. That is the reason I would come back to BCG and Sarah specifically to help me if I wanted to move again, because I believe that she genuinely cares about us and what we need and what we want. I am very grateful for all of her help.

She did everything! She contacted us at a time when we were batting around whether we were ready to get our feet wet again. I sent my resume and she did everything else. I just showed up for interviews. It made everything easier. Sarah is a genuinely fantastic person, and excellent to talk to; and I came to care about her, and I believe she came to care about us, too. It showed in her performance, and that is the reason I would be reaching out to Sarah if I ever needed assistance again. And I am looking forward to that.

Sarah is just a great spirited person and very energetic and lots of great ideas. She kept everything going and on the ball. BCG has a really great computer generated programs that really keep you motivated and keep you focused on what you are doing and Sarah worked will with it to keep your focus. I think that is what really sets [BCG] apart! I haven't used a recruiter in a while but from what I recall no one has had a system like that in the past and you guys really stand out in that regard.[BCG made my job search] a million times easier! You really took the burden of digging off of me and presented a lot of firms that I would have never thought of - including the place I am going to. You found all the jobs for me and presented them to me and I was able to just say Yes or No. You did all the leg work for me and once the ball got rolling and I had some interviews going I was able to shine from there. The idea of putting my resume out to firms that are not necessarily looking is a really phenomenal idea. I am not sure if the firm that took me in for interviews were actively looking or just starting to look but I think that is what actually happened.Sarah's positive attitude was really great and I will absolutely recommend her to anybody I know that is looking to move. Sarah was a pleasure to work with. I started this process slowly a couple years ago and I recently started it up again with Sarah - in the meantime I had reached out to a couple other New York based recruiter's and had some really negative experiences with them. They would tell me that since I had been in house for the past couple years and since I hasn't been as active and don't have an active client base and they pretty much just told me I was "out to pasture" and Sarah had a totally different take on that. She would tell me "don't worry about it, we're going to get through this and find your place" and sure enough I did. Not only that, I found a place that I didn't ever think I could be as happy with the situation I am in. Sarah also advised me well when I had multiple offers at the same time; she really helped me navigate that process. She did an excellent job from start to finish. I appreciate that she cared about me and not just her fee. It was really about me and that is RARE! She really encouraged me to apply to places that were good for me for where I am in my life and she also did a lot of research on the firms before sending me there.

I had worked with other recruiters, but I really felt like BCG took me on as more of a client and more serious in helping me find placement . I am relatively junior so I was concerned about getting a recruiter that couldn't handle it, but Sarah was very, very communicative throughout the whole process regarding what she was looking at, who she was speaking to, tactics for getting a job, so I felt that was really great. Not having to do the work and apply myself made it much easier and it was nice to have somebody identify concerns as well as positions that would be a good fit for me. You guys are certainly #1.

BCG was proactive, responsive, and helpful in assisting my job search.
BCG Attorney Search provided a vehicle for getting my information to more quality firms than I would have on my own.

I think my favorite thing was just how proactive she was. She was sending my resume out to firms that she had connections with that weren't necessarily looking for a new attorney position.

That's actually how I got my job, she reached out to the firm I'm with now. They weren't necessarily looking, but they set up an interview and then it just worked out perfectly. It made it so much easier. She took care of scheduling the interviews, getting the interviews, making sure that I was prepared for the interviews. She took care of everything for me.

This was my first time working with a recruiting company so, they're at the top of my list right now.
