GetBoarded

Profiles built from transferable skills survived later changes to the skills model, without downtime and without losing the people already on the platform.

GetBoarded
The challenge

What was slow, manual, or holding them back

People build a profile from what they can do, and organisations search by capability. The skills model had to change, and thousands of real profiles already sat on the old one. Earlier changes had been made by editing the database directly. One bad change and the product's value is gone. Backups had never been restore-tested, and there was no staging environment to rehearse on.

What we built

The workflows that went into daily use

  • A profile builder mapping knowledge and personality to transferable skills
  • Capability search for organisations
  • Backups, restore drills and a staging environment before any live change
  • A staged remap: old and new models side by side, profiles moved in batches, rollback held open until the error rate was zero
The results

100% of profiles kept through later remaps

GetBoarded has revised its skills model more than once since, without downtime or lost profiles. Each revision is a request, not a rescue.
