I was definitely oversold

I was definitely oversold. I was told they would be in constant contact and reaching out to companies on my behalf. I was the one that had to check in several times to see what was going on. Each time they told me they were working on things and reaching out to companies, but I never saw anything to indicate they had been reaching out. When I indicated I wanted to cancel it was easy which I appreciated. They tried to get me to continue paying, telling me it would take more time to get interviews. In the end it was too much money too soon to be willing to let it keep going. I would absolutely pay for each placement rather than pay a monthly fee hoping to get a placement.

Interesting to see a lot of the reviews on here are about the on onboarding process and not on the results.

Great service from the boardsi team

The boardsi team, especially Lisa Williams, has been great to work with. They did a great job setting up my profile and guiding me through the experience. We will see going forward whether the company matching process delivers results!

Quick turnaround with an Accurate Bio

Lisa was fantastic to work with! She quickly gathered my information and delivered a spot-on bio that perfectly captured what I needed. Fast, accurate, and extremely helpful!

Feeling scammed

This has been the biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent. I’ve heard three different explanations about placement times, yet after being with Boardsi for over a year I’ve seen no results whatsoever. This experience feels like the biggest scam I’ve ever encountered—pathetic and unprofessional.

Stealing money and lies

I was contacted to be a boardsi member which would’ve been ok if I hadn’t gotten recurrent calls by the same guy for the same purpose on the same day, within like 30 minutes of each other.

This is my second review because boardsi flagged my last review to have it taken down and it was removed needlessly. I feel other readers should be aware of this. Boardsi boasts claims about placing you on a board and paying you up to $30K for a role for a low monthly fee. That’s cute, but board members in legit organizations don’t pay monthly fees for their presence on a board; they’re paid to be there but don’t pay.

There are many who claim they offered their card info and were scammed so I stopped before anything happened. May wanna stay safe and go no further than I did to avoid that situation.

Executive Bio

I just received an incredible document from Lisa Williams and the Leadafi process. The team took my resume plus the results of an interview and made into something well-worded and marketable expressing my accomplishments far better than I could. Well done Lisa and team.

Jen Swaby was a terrific support person to me in terms of connecting me with a potential board advisor role well suited to my profile. Looking forward to other opportunities with which she may align me.

It is a scam

It is a scam. After doing some back ground research I came accross many individuals that had given a credit card number and had been charged hundreds of dollars for nothing. It is very unfortunate that they continue this way
But if you google search Boardsi it immediately takes you to Boardsi Scam
You just have to do a little bit more digging and you find a lot of unhappy people

Great Start

I'm still early into the Boardsi process, but the due diligence done by the profile creators was very impressive.
