BCG Attorney Search Reviews

Honestly, the best part [about working with BCG] was getting a job in the end, especially when I had mostly stopped looking for myself. Carolina was willing to listen to what I was looking for and tried to match that with somewhere where I'd be happy. I'd said I wanted to do writing, and she shopped me around as a writer. I've only been at this new job for a few weeks, but it seems to be a much better fit than some of the places I was applying (and not getting). Even though it took a while, I still feel like you did a good job. A lot of that was the coronavirus, I'm sure, but taking the time to find a firm that was specifically looking for someone who was looking to write, not necessarily looking to get in a courtroom all of the time, was a big plus.
Q. How did working with us make you job search easier?
A. Well, for one, I didn't have to do the searching. But firms seem to reach out to you guys. Sometimes a middleman is a bad thing, but sometimes the middleman is a good facilitator, and that's what I felt happened here. I was also able to let someone else do the searching while I watched my son during the day.

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

A. Since you got me the job, I'd put you on top. Even without that, you didn't pigeonhole me into "temp" work just because your firm was divided into temp and permanent placement (and make it hard to get into the other group), so I'd still put you on top. My sample size isn't large, though.

Thank you once again for taking time out of your morning to speak with me today. I found your advice and guidance to be extremely helpful.

[My favorite thing about working with BCG] was getting the notifications for job opportunities and then sending approvals for them. I appreciated the way BCG lined up the positions in an email notification every week and I would easily take a look and approve them. Ultimately it was successful and I got a job so I liked that. BCG has some educational materials about getting a job, videos and webinars and what not. I didn't avail myself to most of them but I found the format interesting and would go back and use them in the future should I have a need.

Annie was very friendly and helpful and answered all of my questions as they came up. If I expressed interest or a lack of interest in something she filtered [the jobs] accordingly so I thought that was great. Annie was really fantastic! She called me before and helped me prep with the different meetings and she sent emails with helpful information as well. I have lots of positive things to say! She was also persistent; my search took a long time so that was helpful. How did working with us make you job search easier? Handling all of if! Not having to send out a million cover letters and vetting the firms individually was great. She communicated and arranged things and timelines with the firms which was very helpful.

One of my favorite things about working with BCG was the nationwide reach.

I cannot overstate how pleased I am with the work that my recruiter provided and the results she helped me obtain. Unlike previous experience I've had with other recruiters, she was able to focus my job search to only those firms where there was a good fit between what they were looking for and what I was looking for. She also provided invaluable advice as to how to position myself and my background for maximum effectiveness, whether by resume or in the interview itself. Finally, the "moral support" that my recruiter was happy to provide was a bonus very much appreciated. In short, I landed the job I wanted, and I felt better throughout the whole process as a result of working with her, too. I would recommend her to anybody thinking about a new job.

BCG recruiters have participated in a number of Northwestern Law career programs, including our Mock Interview Program and our Market Series, which introduces students to different legal markets around the country. We have been extremely pleased with the recruiters from BCG who have generously given of their time to help students in their career planning. We have received excellent feedback from students about the recruiters and the programs they have presented. We're looking forward to working with BCG on future programs.

After each interview, my recruiter in Chicago provided me with solid feedback of my performance, including my strengths and weaknesses, it was invaluable. I got the impression that my recruiter was an old hand at this, as they were very confident in her guidance. My recruiter also knew so many people in the industry and large amounts of detail about each firm.

The cover letter, that the people I was working with drafted, I thought it was very thoughtful, and I appreciate the level of detail. Another thing I certainly appreciated during my experience working with BCG, is the amount of applications that the recruiter had been sending out on a daily basis. The volume of work that was done to help me secure position, definitely appreciated. It was easier because it took all of the leg work out of the equation for me, and to not have to research listings. To actually go through the process of submitting a formal application can be obviously very time consuming. Also had someone who could help me negotiate compensation packages, be the middleman, and take the awkwardness involved out of the situation in a very seamless, almost effortless experience for me. On a scale of zero to 10, I'd probably put it at 8.5, because prior to working with BCG, I did speak with several other recruiting agencies, and in the beginning, they would be very active and follow up timely, then very quickly the relationship would disintegrate and then I would never hear from them, so I guess compared to that, I would give it at at least an 8.5.

Working with BCG Attorney Search made my job search easier because there were a lot of openings in one place.
