How it works

How do you keep a relationship graph current as people change jobs?

Keep a relationship graph current by maintaining stable person identities, dated employment history and separate evidence for each relationship. A job change updates where someone works; it does not automatically erase a professional connection or prove it remains strong. Use reliable updates, connector corrections and confidence labels rather than treating every old path as current access.

Separate people from employment records

Store the person independently from roles and organisations. Preserve prior employment dates and source records so past overlaps remain understandable after someone moves.

Refresh evidence selectively

Use authorised source updates and verified job-change information. Resolve duplicates, changed emails and similar names before attaching new history. Public profiles can lag, so preserve source dates and uncertainty.

Reassess the actionability

A move may create a possible route into a target account, but role relevance and relationship willingness still need checking. An old working connection may remain valuable, weaken or become inappropriate to use.

Feed corrections back

Let connectors confirm, deny or update relationships. Track stale sources and unresolved identities. Revalidate before a high-stakes request instead of relying solely on an old score.

Orbb can support relationship research and activation as information changes. Confirm its current refresh and alert scope directly. There is no universal monthly job-change rate that should be applied to every customer dataset or used as proof that a particular graph is accurate.
