Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

More than 75% of new corporate subscribers to BoardProspects do not have a current board opening. Nevertheless, they sign-up for our annual corporate subscription to not only stay apprised of board recruitment news and trends, but also to create a board candidate pipeline. The majority of corporate board seats which become available each year are “unplanned” (health, conflicts of interest, new commitments, etc.). Therefore, it is critical that nominating committees stay active year-round building a list of potential board candidates. The BoardProspects platform provides all the tools and resources to create, maintain and track a list of candidates from our community who will add value to your board should an opening become available.

No, there are no success fees – just an annual subscription fee which allows your corporation to conduct unlimited candidate searches and appointments.

Board Recruitment is BoardProspects’ monthly e-publication which is included with the corporate subscription. This unique publication not only contains insightful articles on board recruitment trends and best practices, but also includes a complete list of all corporate board appointments and departures from the prior month -- broken down by sector.

Cost. The average fee to retain an executive recruitment firm for a board search often exceeds $100,000 – per board member. The subscription to BoardProspects is a fraction of the fees charged by an executive recruitment firm.
Engagement. The retention of an executive recruitment firm for a board search is episodic. The BoardProspects platform engages your Nominating Committee throughout the year to not only keep you apprised of board composition trends within your industry, but also help you build a board candidate pipeline -- both of which are considered corporate governance best practices.

Yes. Many larger corporations utilize a corporate subscription to BoardProspects to mitigate the risk of relying solely upon an executive recruitment firm to find the right board candidate. The nominating committees of these corporations use our platform throughout the year to create a list of potential board candidates from our community. When a corporation is ready to retain an executive recruitment firm for a board search, the nominating committee can provide the firm with a report from BoardProspects which lists the candidates the committee has already identified through our community.

The “who do you know?” conversation around the boardroom table has a substantial downside insofar as it severely limits the board candidate pool to the networks of the current board members. In addition to often thinking (and looking like) the board member who recruited them, this process can also result in conflicted loyalties — i.e., is the new board member more loyal to the board member who recruited them, or to the stakeholders?

Schedule a demo and let us show you the amazing depth of diversity among the thousands of board candidates within the BoardProspects community.

Yes. Although more than 93% of our board candidates are from the U.S., we have candidates from more than 40 countries around the globe.

We have a 95% success rate and an 87% renewal rate among our corporate subscribers.

Yes. The subscription to BoardProspects allows you to conduct background checks on our candidates.

Yes. Although a small number of our candidates (less than 2%) limit themselves to board opportunities with publicly traded corporations, the overwhelming majority of our board candidates are interested in board opportunities with private corporations (including start-ups).

Yes. We understand that corporations may not want to reveal their identity on our platform. Therefore, corporations have the option to remain completely anonymous and only reveal themselves to the candidate(s) when they are ready.

No. BoardProspects is an independent private corporation.

Yes. The BoardProspects platform will not identify and connect your company with world-class advisory board members (and provide a sample agreement), but it will also help identify the appropriate compensation of such members and the overall structure for the advisory board meetings (ex. agenda, and length/frequency of meetings).
