has anyone used them?

read up on them online and it sounds like there's a gamut of opinions about them, some saying they're legit and others going as far to say that they're scam artists.

I've emailed then a few times about listings and never gotten a response. I think most recruiters are scam artists, however, so my impression is that they're just typical assholes.

EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised if they just submit your resume without ever telling you. Which is not really helpful if they're just spamming employers with whatever comes their way.

Find one in the local market that only works that market. Best if you can get a rec from a friend. National search firms are flame.

I tried to do this at first, and they were kind of dicks about it. I found one that I liked (local to my market) and stuck with him. He had a bunch of local connections and did more than just copy and paste the public postings from all V100s.

nutella has good advice below.

scammers. once you send your email thats it. expect to be deluged with email no matter how much you opt out.

6 years later im still getting email from those scumbags. lawcrossing/bcg is a scummy operation and both are run by the same douche bag.

they suck. the recruiter i used wanted to have a 30 min call beforehand to go over "interviewing dos and don'ts" before a stupid screening intv at a ttt v100 firm. i lol'ed. don't use any of those idiots.

also, lateral link sucks and i'm still getting form emails every month from some idiot recruiter there telling me about the "thriving legal market" despite the fact i told them that i'm no longer looking.

i used bcg for some v100 firms where i don't know anybody internal. they don't have exclusive listings or anything and are just another scum recruiter hoping to get any candidates in to stick. it's no more effective (and arguably less effective due to the recruiting fee that needs to be paid) than submitting on your own. i had a screening intv at katten muchin where they were literally screening like 50 candidates for 1 position, lol.

i didn't bother w/ laterallink since all their listings were for like OMM, sidley etc and i can get people to submit me internally.

the only recruiters who are effectively are local ones that have exclusive listings to boutiques and other regional firms that you otherwise wouldn't know about. even then, most of them suck.

I set up a fake account to get firm names from recruiters and then submit materials on my own. Harrison Barnes still emails me weekly and I respond with questions about the "new" ACC, playing with Steph Curry, and whether or not he'll live up to the expectations of a top 10 pick. I never get a reply, but keep getting the lateral emails.

Harrison Barnes at BCG leaves messages on my work phone (and the phone of my coworkers) every Saturday, asking to chat; he then follows up with an angry message the next Saturday because we didn't respond to his first message. His message usually have background static as if he's in traffic

Really? He called me once on a Saturday. I think he was looking at the wrong bio when calling though. His message was "hi (my name) I think we should talk! II've noticed that (practice area I have nothing to do with) is really picking up and I know you've been doing that at (firm I'm at)". I ddint call back and he didn't call again

That's a recorded message, man. That's why he has it sent on Saturday mornings when no one is in their office. Notice that there is no identifying information in that voicemail (he calls you "you", refers to "your practice area", etc.), he stammers a couple times to make it sound unprepared, and he intentionally added static noise.

My wife and I got 100% identical voicemails a week apart.
