I wanted to contact you to thank you for putting me forward for a fantastic opportunity in private practice. I happened to speak to you by chance, and you were very proactive in identifying an opportunity that I may not have otherwise have considered.

BCL has placed me in my last two roles: in both instances, the support and information provided were invaluable. They have been able to support my next career move each step of the way.

I liked the frank and constructive guidance on the merits of each person. I didn’t get the feeling that you were trying to “sell” me an individual who wasn’t a good fit.
