BCL Search is marking 10 years with Director Julia Goldblatt, who joined the firm in 2016 and has become a central part of its specialized work placing Administrative Professionals and Executive Assistants. The milestone reflects both Goldblatt’s tenure and the firm’s continued focus on long-term client and candidate relationships.
Goldblatt joined BCL Search after leading the Special Events team for one of New York City’s highest-profile nonprofit organizations, where she managed large-scale fundraising events. She brought that background in relationship management and project coordination into recruiting, applying it to searches that require close attention to leadership style, team structure, and cultural fit.
As Director, Goldblatt focuses on matching candidates with roles that meet precise client needs while also supporting professionals seeking lasting career opportunities. Her work spans the firm’s core industries, including venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, wealth management, investment banking, technology, media, legal and compliance, and nonprofit organizations.
BCL Search was founded in 2014 by Becky Carlson Linstroth and remains 100 percent women-owned and operated. The firm has completed more than 2,500 administrative placements and reports a placed candidate 12-month retention rate exceeding 99 percent. That record is tied to a recruitment process built around discovery, targeted search through an exclusive network of pre-vetted professionals, candidate shortlisting, interview support, and guidance through offer and onboarding.
The firm places Receptionists, Administrative Assistants, Executive Assistants, Chiefs of Staff, Office Managers, Personal Assistants, and related support roles. Clients range from boutique firms to larger enterprises that rely on administrative talent to support leadership productivity, manage complex schedules, and maintain operational continuity.
"Julia has spent a decade helping clients and candidates find matches that last," said Becky Carlson Linstroth, Founder and CEO of BCL Search. "Her background in relationship and project management, combined with her attention to fit, has been an important part of how the firm approaches every search."
Goldblatt’s approach emphasizes understanding both sides of a placement. For clients, that includes learning workflows, executive preferences, and team dynamics before presenting candidates. For candidates, it includes identifying roles where they can contribute beyond daily task management and remain in place over the long term.
"Matching strong candidate talent with clients who have exacting needs is the most meaningful part of this work," said Julia Goldblatt, Director of BCL Search. "Ten years in, the focus remains the same: find placements that work for both the professional and the organization."
The broader BCL Search team includes Senior Managing Director Jessica Wagshul Casson, Managing Director Kelly Marchesi Dillon, Vice President Katie Leary Festa, Senior Associate, Talent and Research Erin Sherlock Alessandrini, and Senior Associate Mekenna Montgomery. Together they support searches across New York and nationally, drawing on backgrounds in nonprofit management, marketing and sales, financial services, executive assistance, hospitality, and client success.
BCL Search continues to specialize exclusively in administrative and executive support recruitment. The firm’s model prioritizes confidentiality, precision, and long-term compatibility rather than volume-based placement. As Goldblatt marks 10 years with the company, that approach remains central to how BCL Search works with founders, executives, and growing teams seeking reliable support.
BCL Search is a specialized recruitment firm dedicated to the placement of Administrative Assistants, Executive Assistants, Chiefs of Staff, and other support roles. The firm serves clients primarily in the New York market while extending its services across the United States.
