For job seekers who research before they apply
Spot the red flags before you apply.
BoardCheck is a free Chrome extension that flags publicly documented warning signs on supported job boards. See the context before you send your resume, phone number, or another hour into a dead-end listing.
Warning
This company has numerous complaints of selling job applicant data to third parties and multiple lawsuits.

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.
20-24
Some warning signs, but not enough evidence to show an alert.
25+
Meaningful applicant concern supported by multiple public signals.
60+
Strong applicant concern with repeated corroboration or serious reported issues.
85+
Strong public-source basis, such as authoritative records or a consistent cross-platform pattern.
The Difference
Spend less time guessing who is worth applying to.
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.
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.
