BoardCheck should be understood as an informational layer over public complaints, reports, and other evidence. It is not intended to state that any company is definitively fraudulent or unlawful.
A Caution label is an applicant-review signal only. It is not a general rating of the company, its products, legality, safety, ethics, or overall employment quality.
Nothing on this website, in the extension, or in the linked review materials should be treated as legal advice, employment advice, or financial advice. Users remain responsible for their own decisions.
An entry shows a Caution label when there is meaningful public evidence that job seekers may want to review more closely. The main threshold is at least two independent public sources showing a repeated pattern of reported fake listings, misleading recruiting claims, applicant-data concerns, bait-and-switch hiring reports, or another source-backed reason for applicant caution.
One strong authoritative source can also be enough on its own, such as a regulator, court filing, major news investigation, or official warning. Ordinary negative employer reviews by themselves are not enough to show a Caution label.
Popup warnings summarize publicly documented reasons for caution. They are meant to surface context for your own review, not declare guilt as a legal fact.
The reviewed-company dataset and the extension are not endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially affiliated with LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Monster, Wellfound, Dice, Reddit, Better Business Bureau, or other third-party sites that may appear in review materials.
Source links are provided so users can inspect the underlying record. BoardCheck does not adopt every statement in a linked third-party source.
Reviews reflect the public record available at the time of review and may change when sources are corrected, removed, updated, or superseded.
Local blacklist and whitelist entries are browser settings controlled by the user. They are not BoardCheck editorial determinations about a company.
Auto Hide is a user-configured convenience that hides matching listings. A hidden listing does not mean BoardCheck has made a stronger finding than the underlying review record supports.
The BoardCheck codebase is maintained in public on GitHub. Third-party company names, job boards, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Linked sources remain subject to their own terms and policies.
BoardCheck's public time-saved figure is a directional estimate, not a guarantee. The current public estimate is about 8.46 hours saved per month.
Step 1 uses the live SQLite dataset. The calculation starts from
22,067 total rows in job_postings and performs an inner join
to company_review_verdicts on normalized_company_name. This
keeps only postings whose companies have actually been reviewed and scored, leaving
11,418 matched postings and dropping 10,649 postings without a
reviewed company.
Step 2 applies BoardCheck's default auto-hide threshold of 25+. Within the
matched posting set, 2,933 postings belong to companies scored at
25+, which gives a posting-level caution rate of
2,933 / 11,418 = 25.6875%.
Step 3 applies the existing external research assumptions. Application volume is
based on Huntr's 2025 Annual Job Search Trends Report at
16 applications per week, converted to
69.3333 applications per month. The per-application time estimate is
derived from Monster's 2026 resume survey and is currently estimated at
28.495 minutes per application.
Step 4 combines those inputs:
(69.3333 * 0.2568751095) * 28.495 / 60 = 8.4583 hours per month. That is
rounded to about 8.46 hours saved per month in public copy.
This website, extension, and bundled review information are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis for informational and user-assistance purposes.
You remain responsible for your own job-search, application, hiring, financial, and reliance decisions, including whether to trust, ignore, or further investigate a listing, company, recruiter, or warning surfaced by BoardCheck.
Questions about privacy, account-linked data, or deletion requests should be routed through the public contact path associated with the website or account flow.
If you believe you or your business has been unfairly identified or described as a cautioned company, you can request correction or reconsideration by using the public contact route or the developer email listed on the Chrome Web Store page.
Include the company name, the label or statement you believe is wrong, the source or context, and any public materials that support the correction. BoardCheck may update, narrow, remove, or leave an entry unchanged after review.
