Like 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.

Process of applying straightforward and… Process of applying straightforward and intuitive. Easy interface on website. Jennifer’s team prompt with messaging and updating status. Very helpful.

Business Owner/Consultant After being contacted about the potential of serving on various boards multiple times, I responded directly with specific criteria and concerns. With those seemingly being put to rest, I reluctantly booked a call. They were late in calling. After being very clear again about concerns, they gave a fast run through of the types of boards. I stopped them to ask how they, as a firm, were compensated. Then came the pitch. I'm all about capitalism and profitability but this was a very misleading process to promote how they work on behalf of companies to help board seats with no reference at all to the fees they require from potential board members. I was up front in stating that I had little interest in serving on boards and it would have to be a very specific fit if I were to make time for it. When I shared that the monthly fee was a show-stopper for something I had little interest in to begin with, that young lad immediately hung up. In reading the boardsi reply to my review, it's just not accurate. While the call was just a few minutes late, it was after 9:02 EST as that was when I checked the time and my calendar to make sure I had the correct day, even after receiving multiple reminder emails from them for me to be prepared. Further, the moment I said the $198/month fee that had never been shared previously was a showstopper, the call was disconnected. There was no "thank you for your time" or anything similar as the boardsi reply suggests. I was trying to be fair with a two star review but this lack of accepting responsibility while all but calling my review dishonest is very telling.

Total sales scam Received a random email from someone here, prompting me to setup a call. I get on the call and this girl gave me the standard sales pitch. board members make $1k/hour on average (the bait), then tells me that there's a setup fee to setup my profile, and then a monthly fee of $50. I then asked her if she had my linkedin profile, and she said she didn't. So I asked how do you know if I qualify? To which she studdered and didn't have a response. I asked to see their sample criteria for board members, and only to get a copout answer that they are all different... no it's not. Total scam sales job. They are just trying to signup as many people to the platform as possible and get your subscription fee.

Run 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.
