Case Study: Market Paying Firm Placement for Candidate Who Took Time Off to Travel with BCG Attorney Search

Market Paying Firm - Customer Case Study

Market Paying Firm was working with a candidate who had strong Big Law credentials but had taken time off to travel, making her a potentially difficult placement in a competitive legal market. She needed a recruiter who understood the market, had a strong track record, and could present her background broadly enough to overcome concerns about the employment gap.

BCG Attorney Search worked directly with the candidate, used a broad outreach strategy, and leveraged its market knowledge and recruiting expertise to secure interviews with multiple firms. The candidate landed roughly 6–7 interviews and ultimately received an offer from a market-paying top firm, where she would do sophisticated work. BCG Attorney Search’s approach turned a challenging career gap into a successful lateral move.
