FAQ

How do you process my data?

When you create a profile on Boardway, it is not available to the public. If a company is looking for skills that match yours, your profile will automatically be matched with their posting - without the company gaining access to your profile.This means that you will receive an invitation to view the job posting, which you can accept or decline:

- If you accept, you will be included in the further screening process, where the company will gain access to your profile and can invite you for an interview.

- If you decline, no information will be shared, and the process stops there.

This ensures that you are only visible to the companies and roles that fit your current setup. For us, it is about building your visibility over time and being available for future opportunities, without having to network at the right time with the right people. The right opportunity rarely arises when you expect it – but by signing up for Boardway, you will be exposed to the companies that are currently looking for your skills and experience.

Can I delete my profile and data?

Absolutely. If you want to delete your profile and data, please write to hello@boardway.co and we'll remove it from our system.
