I recently attempted to apply for a job posting through BCG attorney search. My qualifications matched favorably with those identified in the posting. Shorlty thereafter, I received an e-mail from BCG indicating that they could not help me and would not foward my resume to a decision maker at the law firm because my skills are not in sufficient demand. The message did indicate, however, that I could obtain resume and job search assistance from various affiliate sites for a fee.
This message also contained spam for another job search site which prospective applicants pay to search.in the days that followed, I continued to receive e-mails from BCG spamming various web sites that offer different types of job search assistance, all for a fee.
All of this after BCG said they could not help me and refused to forward my resume to a hiring partner. I graduated law school cum laude, worked on law review, passed the bar on the first try, and had all of the requisite experience for this position.
BCG's failure to provide any help at all after I attempted to respond to what appeared to be a legimate job opening raises a strong supsicion that their entire operation is merely a front for spamming these affiliated pay sites. BCG wasted my time and is misleading many other by holding itself out as a place where applicants can apply for jobs free of charge. If law firms are paying BCG for this service, then they are being done a terrible injustice as well.
