Separate yourself
from your competitors
Australia and New Zealand’s leading board advertising, governance and non executive career development firm.
Putting People on Boards
Operating for more than a decade and led by David Schwarz, Board Direction is Australia and New Zealand’s leading board advertising, governance and non executive career development firm.
A recent study found that those who hold a board appointment in addition to an executive role are 44% more likely to get promoted and earn 15% more than those who don’t have a board appointment. For these reasons and countless more board appointments are highly aspirational and highly competitive.
Despite the competition, thousands successfully make the journey to a board appointment each year and you can too. Those who do, rarely credit their senior executive or governance experience as the reason for their success. Instead, they focus on getting three things right – the three pillars of a board appointment. It is these three things that Board Direction help our members get right. In so doing we ensure that you can: separate yourself from your competitors, de-risk your potential appointment and dare them not to appoint them so that you get appointed sooner and get a better return on the investment of your valuable time.
Beyond listing Australia and New Zealands’s largest and most comprehensive list of board vacancies, we offer our members exclusive access to a suite of tailored and practical services, support, templates and documents designed entirely to get them appointed (in 12 months).
We also offer Governance & NED recruitment services to our corporate clients including Board Governance & Remuneration Reviews, Professional Development Programs and bespoke Board Recruitment services.
