BCG Attorney Search's Chicago recruiters take pride in the recruitment process standards that we adhere to. All of our recruiters have over 44 years of combined experience in the legal industry, and most have worked for top law firms. We are very thorough when screening candidates. We get to know the candidate personally so that we can match each attorney with the ideal law firm. We base this on our own vast knowledge of the legal marketplace, as well as the specifications requested by firms and the attorney's own strengths, personalities, style, personality, work ethics, and geographic needs. We ensure that each attorney we work with is fully suited for any law firm they interview with.
We Screen Thousands of Attorneys so Chicago Law Firms Don't Have to
We know what it is like to receive resumes for a position within a law firm from countless potential candidates that don't meet the criteria we're looking for. We know how frustrating it can be to have to wade through hundreds of resumes only to find one or two that are acceptable. Therefore, when we screen our attorneys, we make sure they have all of the credentials and characteristics that the firm is looking for. We not only review each candidate's litigation history, billable hours, and academic success, but we also get to know the attorney intimately. We strive to find perfect fits for both attorneys and law firms.
Our Recruiters Meet Applicants Face-to-Face
Our recruiters go above and beyond what other recruiters will do. We meet face to face with our attorney candidates and we walk them through each phase of the recruitment process. We have very creative recruiters and they are able to present our attorney candidates to the law firms with confidence. We keep both the attorney and the law firm fully updated throughout each step of the recruitment process. We uphold our Code of Conduct strictly and maintain confidentiality throughout the entire recruitment process. An attorney's information will never be released to any law firm without approval.
Establishing Long-Lasting Relationships with Law Firms
We not only get to personally know each attorneys that we try to place, but we also take time to get to know each law firm that we work with. We take pride in building long- lasting relationships with the firms. Firms know when we only send them attorney candidates that will be exactly what the firm is looking for. We place our outstanding attorneys with law firms that we believe they will succeed in. Our success is based upon the success of our attorneys and the law firms that we work with, and we take great pride in knowing that we have the expertise to place the right attorney with the best law firm each and every time.
