The Board of DirectorsAn International Directory of Curriculum Vitae For Those Possessed Of, As Well As Those In Search Of | ![]() |
Established by a group of multi-national CEOs to facilitate more efficient employment networking, The Board of Directors functions as a pre-screening "bridge" between a highly qualified Senior Executive and a potential Employer.
Each candidate's CV is critically reviewed in-depth by our appraisal committee.
Some applications to The Board of Directors site are from individuals possessing superb qualifications that are attractive to retained search recruiters and their clients - - many of whom are seeking top-notch executives other than solely Chairmen and CEOs.
Some candidates have been employed in industries that did not even exist twenty years ago. Others are technically proficient in state-of-the-art disciplines whose specialties do not yet have established categories, standards or performance-norm measurements. Others were "down-sized" without respect to capabilities or performance.
By extending our time-tested Board of Directors pre-screening protocol, these "special" candidates benefit, as do the retained search recruiters and corporate entities who seek the specific expertise of these candidates.
The appraisal committee augured for a new forum with broad, comprehensible categories recognizing universally talented candidates .
Why does this individual receive preferential consideration?
The recruiter has greater confidence in presenting the candidate.
Each CV accepted for inclusion at this site has been carefully reviewed,
the candidate has undergone and passed a battery of qualification
reviews and an initial interview. (*Assessment not by executive recruiters, but by the CEO's, company Presidents and CFO's who comprise the Candidate Appraisal Committee) | ![]() |
The Operations Board: Candidate Profile |
Operations Board Membership is not available to everyone. Membership is exclusively for those who can build and manage innovative organizations. It provides a focused, refined opportunity for a limited number of serious, excellently-performing men and women to get their qualifications on this site and into the hands of top-level retained search recruiters.
Since there are a finite number of executive recruiters with fee-paid assignments, and a more extensive number of companies, both large and small, currently in need of senior executives, The Board of Directors also provides a direct link to the thousands of decision-making company owners and H.R. professionals who visit The Board's parent site* every week, a substantial percentage of whom take advantage of immediate access to candidate CV's and candidate analysis reports.
They know and believe that "nothing happens until someone sells something". They all know the excitement of sales and believe that every employee of any organization must be involved with selling its product or service. Regardless of their field of specialization, they bring a high level of commitment to their work - - recognizing that all tasks should be pursued with the idea that they can be accomplished in a superior fashion. They are persistent. They know that teamwork is the "key". They are pragmatists who take theoretical constructs and push them to fruition. |
One of the major international retained-search firms who now subscribes to our pre-screening services, receives as many as 700 resumes per day. Although they have a staff of 17, were they each to spend twenty minutes reviewing a single candidate's CV, an eight hour day would get through only 408 - - without leaving any time to speak directly with individual candidates. Of necessity, staff energy is directed towards fulfilling the requirements specified by the client, instead of focusing on the potential of the unknown applicant.
Candidates, even in an era of flattened management, are expected to define themselves in traditional, narrow fields. Yet, top leaders of the most successful organizations "broke the mold". Chairmen and CEOs of major companies were English majors, engineers, accountants, salesmen, technicians, - - - very often developing their experience in unrelated industries.
How can "Candidate Jones" get an opportunity to demonstrate analytical, creative, problem-solving? How can a potential employer be motivated to learn more about what Jones can do for his/her organization? What kind of position does Jones look for? What does he list as his "specialty"?
We work closely with the top retained-search executive recruiters to effect melding of company, product/service and individual capabilities for these leaders.
It takes time, effort and skill to make it all work, for company and candidate alike. Our selection process screens hundreds of resumes to select only the truly excellent. Our procedure integrates resume analysis and telephone/e-mail interviews. Our objective is to get past the resume and through to the underlying strengths and capabilities of the individual himself.
To accomplish this result, we start by together developing fundamental data - - which goes beyond conventional CV information.
The Board of Directors Candidate Appraisal Committee has established basic categories to permit corporate entities and recruiting organizations to see not only where candidates have been and where they would like to be, but to showcase how their talents can be utilized in non-traditional roles.
The combination of "Jones's" resume along with our analysis and comments, is forwarded to the specific retained-search recruiter with the client assignment in hand. The recruiter routinely receives hundreds of resumes, however "Jones" is moved to the top of the stack.
The recruiter has greater confidence in presenting the candidate.
Each CV accepted for inclusion at this site has been carefully reviewed,
the candidate has undergone and passed an initial interview.
