So far, the experience has been great. Lisa and her team quickly got to work on an Executive Bio, and it looks fantastic. I've already gotten a number of comments from friends who saw it on LinkedIn.... See more

Lisa Williams did an excellent job of guiding me through the process, explaining each step along the way. She helped coordinate the Leadafi Bio and was quick to respond to all my questions.

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

Lisa Williams and the Leadafi program did a great job creating an executive bio for me. They took my inputs and created an outstanding bio. Very happy with the result.

Boardsi made the process simple and easy. My Boardsi representative Lisa Williams did an amazing job in capturing my executive career and organizing it in a manner that shines a bright light on my career achievements. I was quite taken back with what I read about myself. I highly endorse and recommend Lisa Williams and Boardsi for anyone looking to transition their career skills to the next level of service.

I had a great experience working with Lisa Williams through Boardsi. She was very clear in communicating when deliverables were expected, and the executive biography written was exceptionally written with no hitches. I expected more engagement with the platform upon publication but overall I look forward to great things from what I have seen so far.

Awful

Awful. Had a family emergency. Not able to pay for meds and they will not refund even though I never made the call!

Great team

Many thanks to the talented people at Boardsi for the work they do in supporting potential board members, and the companies looking for experienced advisors and volunteers. The team members are consistently helpful, knowledgeable and respect my time. A special mention of Lisa Williams and the work she does at Leadafi to showcase individuals' expertise and interests.

Waste of time

All reviews that are not a 1 star are fake. This company does nothing it promises. They offer a platform to send blind applications no where. They claim they coach and assist you find a seat- 100% false. As soon as they have your money they ghost you and make it difficult to cancel.

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.

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.
