So far not much to say. Had a great write up based on the material I supplied that depicts the true nature of who I am. On boarding was March 25th and final presentation April 14th. Not sure if that's... See more

People who contacted me were professional, kind, and explained things well. This is new so I had a lot of questions. Their executive bio was awesome, needed very little editing.

Wow. Lisa was amazing! She took the basic, blah bulleted points from my resume and LinkedIn page, and crafted a wonderful narrative which painted a great picture of who I am, what I have to offer.... See more

Make sure you work with Lisa Williams

I've been working directly with Lisa Williams and couldn't be happier with the results. My customized bio was turned around quickly, and it's amazing what a good wordsmith can do. Very impressed and looking forward to a successful board match.

The concept is sound

The concept is sound, they claim to help pair you to Boards seeking members. They charge a monthly fee and give you access to their "list" of companies.

They recruit you based on your qualifications. The sales rep claimed they prescreen and only seek out the right people. When I asked placement rates I was told 90% because they are selective.

They had very few companies add listing during my time(6 months) only about 10 new companies. So maybe 150 total companies for several hundred paying members.

I searched and applied to ones that fit my background. But the applications go through boardsi, so you don't have any contact with the companies. In the 6 months I only saw one company change from seeking to role closed.

They claim that they send your resume out on your behalf, in addition to your searches. But there is no evidence of any contact with any of the companies listed.

I don't think it is a complete scam, but it is definitely oversold, and over promised in the sales process. My advice would be to stay away.

Professional and Attentive to Personal Details

The onboarding staff was very professional and attentive to my personal details and requests. Lisa Williams did an excellent job with my Leadafi Bio, which I hope will accelerate my path to new professional opportunities. Waiting to see what matches will arise!

What a wonderful experience!

I was initially interviewed which went very, very well and I was VERY impressed with the breadth of topics covered. The write-up was presented with an invitation to edit. I commented that I couldn't have done better myself and had absolutely no edits to make!

Horrible Communication and Lack of Clarity

I can't believe that I just gave this organization money and received virtually NOTHING about how to use the system, what they would be doing to help me find a potenial Board or Advisory position. The lack of communication and expecation setting is unbelievable. I sure learned my lesson.

Boardsi really turned things around for me when I thought I was ready to leave the platform. for two months I thought Boardsi ghosted me or gave generic runaround responses. Jen Swabi at Boardsi went above and beyond. She personally jumped in, listened to what had gone wrong before, and took immediate ownership of the process. Her responsiveness, genuine care, and expert guidance completely flipped a frustrating experience into a positive one. Thanks to Jen’s dedication and professionalism, I not only regained trust in Boardsi but actually came away impressed. If you’re looking for a board-advisory matching service that has people who truly step up when it matters, Jen Swabi and Boardsi are the real deal. Highly recommend.
