GetBoardwise Reviews 21

Throughout the campaign, there was constant communication. The entire experience was less uncertain because I always knew what stage things were at.

Although I've previously worked with traditional recruiters, this felt different. I would not have been able to access these opportunities without the outreach strategy.

The customised approach was particularly noteworthy. They genuinely took the time to learn about my background and objectives, so it didn't feel like a typical recruitment service.

I had no idea where to begin my investigation into non-executive director positions. I was able to better position my experience and have a clearer structure thanks to this process.

I started my campaign in January and by early March I was receiving consultation calls. My first consultation was a great fit and very positive and while it is early on, I expect to continue with similar results. I definitely recommend GetBoardwise to anyone interested in building a consulting business.

At 52 I was tired and stuck. They did not just edit my CV; they helped me see that my years in HR had real weight at board level.
The campaign that followed gave me two advisory seats and a live NED process, all with organisations that fit my background. But more than that, it gave me back a sense that I still have a lot to bring.

After redundancy I felt like my story was broken. Their process helped me rebuild it around what I had actually done in tough times.

Out of that came one near-signed NED position, one adviser role and a sense that my career is far from over.

I am just starting off my portfolio career and knew that I would need support and a campaign to run.
Having spent some discovery time with the GBW team, and discussed the GBW programme with some previous clients that I know, I was happy to move ahead.
The team provided the structure and support I needed, and within the first campaign, I secured my first paid position - that has more than paid back the investment.
The process was simple, and the team were always on hand to discuss; the discovery and planning process is definitely important, so that you get the best value from the programme.
Definitely recommend it for those serious about making the move to a portfolio career.

The team were well organised and responsive and were open to iterating target audience and messaging. We did two tranches of 500 contacts over around 4 months. Connection rates on LinkedIn were good - around 30+%. Overall, I got around 5 or 6 quality leads/conversations, out of which I have landed and completed one assignment and am still chasing down a second. In terms of RoI my initial investment was fully justified. Thanks to all the team.

I've been with them for 3 campaigns, we've hit around 3k business leaders and I've had around 50 leads. We've managed to close 4 across 12 months and it's proven to be a very good service to use. The biggest benefit to me is the time saved and consistency or someone reaching out to people for you. Hoping for similar success with my recent run.

I was recommended to boardwise by a friend, pleasantly surprised. I ran a short outreach and picked up some adhoc work, being semi retired worked well.

I've had a few bites and the interview preparation docs are actually really good. Customer service is at a good standard too, always fairly responsive.

Planning and building a portfolio career takes time, but GetBoardwise has helped accelerate that process and guided me through the important first steps. From the very beginning, the team has been supportive, taking the time to understand what matters most to me and tailoring their approach accordingly. They were open and transparent about their offering and pricing options from the outset. If you’re committed to building solid foundations for your portfolio career, GetBoardwise is a great partner to help you get there faster.

I've been networking on Linkedln for a while, but their messaging strategy worked really well for me. I know a few people who've used the service before, so perhaps l received more or a white-glove experience; either way, l got what l came for. The support team was very helpful, and the per-interview due-diligence support was second to none. John, the fouder, is highly business-development-focused and has a strong toolkit of strategies that help you bulid rapport quickly. All-roud, a very good service after a month.

The fractional space seems a bit crazy at the moment and I've signed up to quite a few different agents in the space but so far these guys have been really good.

Josh was a delight to work with throughout my Linkedln campaign. I have operated at board level for 10 years and, while it may be a little too soon to start branding myself as an expert, Josh was able to assign a campaign manager who helprd me identify the key areas where l could add value. This had been difficult for me before workingh with the team.

The person who contacted me on LinkedIn kept rescheduling our call; the last time he was "in another call" during the scheduled meeting. If they cannot manage basic scheduling, I doubt they can do anything to help find board positions.

Broadly speaking, a waste of time. Identical outreach LinkedIn from different people (and often the same person with different LinkedIn accounts) suggesting active clients looking to appoint me specifically. Turns out no active client exists and it’s just a sales pitch to buy a subscription.

Was reached out to for "board positions" and it became apparent that this would require me paying a fee. My one star is because this was not transparently communicated at the start. If the company was transparent they would mention this in their website, and in the messaging. Perhaps if you are seeking first positions this may be relevant to you, otherwise its someone pitching you to "sell you" a service.

I was looking for a way to transition into advisory and board roles, but I wasn’t sure where to start. The team provided the structure and support I needed, and within a few months, I secured my first paid position. The process was simple, and the guidance was practical. Definitely worth it for those serious about making the move.
