How It Works

What happens when you open a job post

BoardCheck looks for the company name on supported job boards, checks it against a local reviewed-company list, and shows sources when there is a match.

Spots the company

BoardCheck reads the company name from supported job-board pages.

Checks locally

The lookup happens locally against the reviewed-company list bundled with the extension.

Shows the sources

Matched entries show a short explanation, caution score, and links to the public sources behind it.

Warns or hides

Free users see the warning. Premium users can hide matches automatically above their chosen threshold.

The Rubric

How BoardCheck decides when to warn you

Our published rubric scores public signals that may warrant extra review. Entries at 25+ show a warning in the extension, not a finding of illegality.

1-19

Weak concern, isolated complaints, or ordinary employer dissatisfaction.

Limited signals

20-24

Some warning signs, but not enough evidence to show an alert.

Watch

25+

Meaningful applicant concern supported by multiple public signals.

Warning shown

60+

Strong applicant concern with repeated corroboration or serious reported issues.

Elevated warning

85+

Strong public-source basis, such as authoritative records or a consistent cross-platform pattern.

Highest warning

The Difference

Spend less time guessing who is worth applying to.

Before

Applying Without Context

  • Open another tab for every unfamiliar company.
  • Find complaints only after you have already applied.
  • Guess whether the recruiter, job board, or employer deserves your information.
  • Lean on star ratings that may not cover applicant-specific warning signs.
With the Extension

Check Before You Apply

  • Get a warning when the company matches BoardCheck's reviewed dataset.
  • Read the short context and open the source links yourself.
  • Catch reported issues like misleading recruiting, suspicious outreach, or applicant-data concerns.
  • Use free warnings, or let Premium clear the worst matches from the page.

Auto-hide Threshold

Auto-hide Threshold

BoardCheck Premium

  • Hide listings at or above your threshold
  • Tune your threshold from 1 to 100
  • Review the evidence behind every hidden listing
  • Keep auto-hide private to your browser
