Has anyone had success working with BCG Search to get placed? If so, around how long did it take before you got interviews? They seem to be pretty hands off.

Do not use BCG. High pressure sales tactics trying to get you to take any interview and any offer asap even when you’d be underselling yourself so they can make their quick commission and be done.

Definitely stay away. I’ve applied to posts on LinkedIn before only to get harassed by their robot “Harrison Barnes” via email and text for weeks. I don’t understand how they have so many open job posts. Does anyone have any insight on that?

Wow so are all the “open” job posts just them listing generic job descriptions from firm websites and then hoping someone applies?

They send you to 100 places and hope something sticks. Then you can’t apply there for an entire year. Awful. Stay away. No personal treatment. I only do TX but happy to recommend someone in your city. Message me.
