Solid Platform for Advisory Opportunities

Boardsi made the process easy and pretty straightforward. I liked that they connected me with opportunities I wouldn’t have found on my own, especially for advisory roles. Some opportunities were a better fit than others, but overall it’s been a solid experience and worth exploring if you’re looking to get involved with early-stage companies.

Disappointed

I paid for the platform for several months without a single company/corporate interaction. I was disappointed with their service nearly every step of the process. I sent information to build my profile and after 3 weeks it was untouched by staff. I consistently inquired how things were going with the search and despite having lots of interest nothing happened after 5 months. In general I found staff defensive and not helpful. I was thoroughly disappointed with the experience. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 is that they comped me an extra month since they realized they forgot to update my profile and information.

Thanks Lisa!

Lisa was terrific in walking me through a technical process on LinkedIn to establish my Executive Bio. Made it easy and fun.

Boardsi was thorough

Boardsi was prompt with gathering information that highlighted my successes in the healthcare industry. I appreciate the time they took to understand my skillset and to show my knowledge with the intricacies of healthcare.

Boardsi: BIG talk, NO action

I'm sure Boardsi finds positions for some, but it appears for the rest of they just collect fees. I had doubts about whether I had the expertise for a board position. Boardsi assured me that I had marketable skills. I signed up. Once a month I received a 7-minute verbal update. Eight months (paying eight fees) later and not a single interview: not ONE. I accept I might not be marketable, but if Boardsi truly are experts they should have known my skills aren't a fit.

My advice: set aside 2 hours each week and respond to LinkedIn opportunities for board positions. I did this and by the beginning of the third month I had several interviews. By the end of the third month I received an offer. (Irony - I didn't take the offer.)

Pyramid scheme?

The company’s marketing feels disingenuous, the reviews appear fake, and the payment model resembles a pyramid scheme more than a legitimate recruitment agency.

Hats off to Lisa W and Team!

Lisa W and the Leadafi team did a wonderful job capturing my Bio in a most professional and truthful manner. Most surprising was the manner that they captured the nuances of my career and personal attributes in such a poignant manner. Hats off to this group!

Thoughtful and Interesting Writeup

Lisa Williams was quick to respond to emails I sent to her. The document she drafted was better than I expected. She wove an interesting and compelling story about my career. I appreciated her honesty when I asked questions and her attention to details.
