What should we do if we have multiple open roles?

Our free posting trial membership allows for one board role to be posted for free. If you would like to post multiple roles, please review our full corporate subscription.

What is the value if we have no open roles?

The full corporate subscription provides the most value for companies without open board seats. More than 75% of new corporate subscribers to BoardProspects do not have a current board opening.

The majority of corporate board seats which become available each year are unplanned (health issues, conflicts of interest, new commitments, etc.). It is critical that nominating committees stay active year-round building a pipeline 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 when an opening becomes available.

Can we post a board position anonymously?

Yes - you have the option not to reveal identifying information about the company.
