BCG Attorney Search Reviews

My legal placement professional was just great, from the intake and talking with me about opportunities and tidying up my resume to my experience and the negotiations, it was really great dealing with her! You essentially took care of everything. Helping with the pre-process of ensuring I was showing all of my qualifications and skills in the best possible way. [She made it easier by] searching for positions that would be best for me and making those arrangements. During the offer of employment and those negotiations and conversations she worked directly with the firm for me so it was very good. I didn't have to do much on my end except communicate with my legal placement professional and obviously do the interviews and stuff, but other than that BCG handled everything so that was great!Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A. I have not used anyone other than BCG in the past but in putting myself out there for a new position I did get called by recruiters from other firms and I would have to say that I prefer BCG over the other firms. You seem to have it more together in terms of really looking out for the candidate you are working with and trying to look at various positions. Also, working with candidate to have them present themselves the best possible way they can. I didn't necessarily get that feeling from the other 2 or 3 recruiting firms that I spoke to.

My favorite thing about my legal placement professional was that she was extremely responsive through the entire process. She thought of creative ideas to get me into firms or get opportunities at firms, even during a pandemic. I really liked her and her approach. I have been a recruiter before and she did everything I would have done, if not better. She helped me prepare for interviews, she was just like my friend. We talked about stress eating cookies and things like that, it was funny. We had a really great time and I loved her so much. She did 100% of the work. She did inquires at law firms, and made the process more fun and seemed to understand me and what I was going through as a job searcher. The automated system was great, but sometimes it got annoying, so she would vet that for me. It seemed like it was it was personalized to me and what I was looking for. I was feeling a little down being a 2019er and losing my job and she made me feel like I was a great candidate or a great option and she gave me a lot more confidence going into interviews and things like that. I would rank BCG Attorney Search a 10! Right up there. I did talk to a couple of other recruiters in Seattle, and they sort of just let me down, like they didn't really try hard and didn't seem to think I was worth something, but she made me feel like I was worth something and kept working for me even when I said I was done and took another job in another state, she found me my dream job!

I had a wonderful experience overall. I thought that the firm was extremely responsive, aggressive, and very well organized. I thought the recruiter I worked with, Carleen Trapp, was particularly helpful and she did a great job. She identified a lot of opportunities for me and was of great assistance in terms of helping me make a decision. Working with BCG Attorney Search got me a new job, which is the best part. I was in the process of making a geographic move anyway. Having the firm provide initial targets and then narrow that down to places that fit well with my practice area and profile the type of firm that I was looking to lateral to also made my job search easier. It made what could have been very long and painful processes quite efficient and quite enjoyable. The first three words that come to mind when I think about BCG are responsive, efficient, and organized. I would rank BCG Attorney Search as far and away the best I have ever worked with, no question. I would highly recommend BCG Attorney Search to a peer of mine and let them know that your firm would be a wonderful resource if they were even considering a move. I would do this because your firm would be able to quickly and efficiently identify opportunities, and give them a really good market perspective as to what those options and opportunities would be.

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.

My favorite thing about working with BCG was locating positions that I wasn't aware of. The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG are responsive, helpful, and good to work with. I would rank BCG right at the top compared to other recruiting companies. I was very pleased to work with BCG Attorney Search, and would recommend them. I found a really good position.

I don't have experience working with any other search firms, but my legal placement professional was just really available to talk, she was helpful and it was a positive experience. I felt comfortable talking to her about any concerns I had and she was very responsive whenever I had questions. I basically didn't even have to do anything in my search.

[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.

I really appreciated Jessica's responsiveness and how quickly she got me interviews and that I was able to get a job very quickly. She was easy to communicate with and was always available. The responsiveness of a recruiter makes a big difference. Other recruiters are slow to get back with you or take forever to provide new law firms so working with BCG made it very quick. I have only worked with one other recruiting company and you guys are certainly better than them.

I didn't work specifically with a recruiter actually for this job - it was odd. In the past I had a conversation with Harrison, but it wasn't related to this job, it was career advice, and I spoke directly with Harrison. Finding this job, it was serendipitous, I am not sure I know, or remember. What happened was, I selected this Firm for approval, and it directed me to go to their site, and apply. Then Ballard reached out through BCG, so, I think it was through the alerts and emails to approve firms, that I learned about them. I would rank BCG toward the top.

I really liked the weekly report that was sent. I really liked that my legal placement professional text messaged me and she was really good at checking in and following up on the interviews. It made it 100 percent easier; I found a job in no time. I did not have to write thank you letters, I didn't have to be hunting around. A lot of the jobs aren't posted anywhere. The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG are helpful, experienced, and productive. BCG is at the top of the list when I think of recruiters. If I was recommending you to others I would tell them that that you are a recruiting firm and that you work really hard to get people jobs. You contact them, and talk with them about their resume and what they want and what they are looking for. You are really good at getting someone a position that they want.
