Governance profile
A verified governance profile, owned by you
The centrepiece of Boarded for individuals: a rich, structured record of your governance credentials, far more specific than a general professional profile, and it belongs to you.
What’s inside
Built for governance, not general employment
Your profile is your governance identity. It carries your name, region and city, a professional headshot, a public profile URL (for example boarded.co.nz/profiles/your-name) and a short bio or governance philosophy, then goes far deeper than any CV:
The sections
What your profile contains
- ✓Skills matrix across governance domains: finance and audit, risk, strategy, people, legal, technology, sector and iwi/Māori governance
- ✓Governance experience: a chronological record of board and committee appointments, roles and terms
- ✓Qualifications and training, including Institute of Directors programmes
- ✓Interests register: your personal conflicts-of-interest declarations
- ✓Compliance checklist: your own governance obligations tracker
- ✓Referees who can speak to your governance capability
- ✓Profile completeness tracking that guides you to fill the gaps
Availability
Availability to Take Appointments
Once your profile reaches 50% completeness, you can mark yourself Available to Take Appointments. It signals to organisations and recruiters that you’re open to being approached for board roles, and it’s a switch you control, on or off, whenever you like.
A real threshold
Availability unlocks at 50% completeness, so profiles that surface are substantial.
Verifiable over time
Your appointment history builds a portfolio that stands behind your skills.
Visibility
Public in the marketplace, or private to you
You decide who sees your profile. A public profile appears in the marketplace and can be found by organisations searching for talent. A private profile exists only for your own use, for tracking your governance history without being discoverable.
Your data, your call
Switch between public and private at any time.
Yours to keep
Your profile stays with you even if you join or create an organisation.
Profile questions
Governance service is distinct from employment. The profile gives you a verified governance record that’s yours, independent of any organisation.
A personal conflicts-of-interest register, mirroring the best-practice obligation for directors to declare interests.
Boarded tracks how complete your profile is and guides you to fill missing sections. At 50%, availability unlocks.
Your governance history and referees give organisations a verifiable picture, not just self-description.
