Summary

Vertical Divider
At Boardspan, we work exclusively with Boards and know that board seats offer invaluable professional development, the opportunity to share your expertise or give back, and build new relationships. Traditional recruiters simply aren’t in the business of helping candidates and “job boards” simply don’t have the right focus.

Where do you start?

Approximately 85% of board searches are conducted informally and without the use of recruiters.  That’s why Boardspan created the Board Candidate Toolkit.   Utilizing the power of our board-focused Candidate Database, the Board Candidate Toolkit is a simple, yet effective 4-step process that helps you prepare a strong profile, create a good “board pitch”, promote your candidacy, and manage your network.
  1. Board Profile
  2. Candidate Assessment
  3. Board Pitch
  4. Network Accelerator
