Duplicate CVs create silent inconsistencies
Every portal, attachment, device, and AI chat can hold a different snapshot of the same person's career.
A new qualification, corrected date, or stronger description updates only the copy being edited. Older versions continue circulating without a reliable way to signal that they are stale.
One maintained source makes the current record explicit while still allowing purpose-specific exports.
Connections should be scoped and revocable
A connected career record needs explicit visibility, access, approval, logging, and revocation controls.
A recruiter reading a public profile, a friend suggesting edits, and an AI agent preparing an application are different permissions. They should not receive the same access or authority.
Real-time updates are valuable only when every connected reader can identify the current approved record.
The person remains the owner
Automation can move approved information, but identity changes and sensitive external actions remain human decisions.
The career source of truth should reduce repeated work without becoming an unrestricted source of private data or autonomous applications.
