GBRun away before you part with your precious money Writing this review to potentially help others avoid this obvious scam. While I'm sure they do place some people occasionally in some positions... you sure as hell would not know it from there sales people. Couldn't give any numbers or information or data about the probability of placement or if I'd be a good fit (honestly I wouldn't) didn't stop the salesperson from asking for a credit card and a follow-up date. Just curious to see the BS spin from the person responding to these. By the way, anyone who is still debating whether or not this is a good service... I have been researching this company for 3 hours now and not found one positive confirmed person who was able to get a job through them.

GBLike Disney, boardsi does have negative reviews. Unfortunately, boardsi has mostly negative reviews. Similar to other reported experiences, I was initially contacted via cold call and set up an appointment to learn more. About 10 minutes into the introductory call and after hearing about the possibilities, came the hook that the next step was to schedule an onboarding call and a credit card was required. After doing a quick google search I saw nothing but negative reviews. I confronted the boardsi rep about this who replied, "even Disney gets negative reviews" which I responded, "sure but at least they have a known brand and baordsi is completely unknown and not deserving of such a leap of faith." I'm not saying boardsi is a scam but I'd say there are much better ways to spend $200 bucks a month.

GBLisa Williams Lisa Williams, Leadafi, absolutely hands down was the distinguishing factor in my positive Boardsi experience. Lisa’s competence in writing my executive summary for posting was astounding. In Lisa’s first version was transformative of my resume - a complex industry specific CV. I am a professional writer myself and I have never reviewed a piece where I had no edits. It took me a long time to make one style edit of one word. The clarity in explaining in prose, my resume was perfect. I mean perfect. Boardsi is lucky to have Lisa and do whatever you can to keep her. Best regards, Douglas Cote CEO Emeric Capital

GBAppreciating proactive engagement After a slow start, the team at Boardsi and Leadafi have really stepped up the engagement to help me find a board position. Lisa Williams has been very helpful in publishing my articles on Leadafi so that I could gain exposure and showcase my expertise, and Rashel Waite has been holding short monthly checkpoint calls to help assure progress.

GBDon’t trust a company that can’t handle questions. Never trust a Company that scouts you just to hang up on you aggressively when you ask analytical questions. Essentially, I pressed the rep about the fact that they want 200 bucks for a profile set up plus another $195 a month for 2-3 months before you ever get an interview and MAYBE get a board seat offer… so you’re spending about $1000 or more with no ROI and no way to get your money back for wasting your time if you don’t land a board. When I mentioned that, I was met with snark and told “if you don’t want to do this, then don’t” before the salesman hung up without giving me a chance to respond. I guess I didn’t help his quota this week. Don’t bother paying a company that can’t manage a phone call they scheduled with you. Edited on 2/27/24. Apparently Boardsi is not only rude, but dishonest. Denying how their reps treat prospects on a public forum doesn't make them a better catch. Be discerning and careful.
