A Headhunter's Cards Are Their Asset — Backup Strategy
For a headhunter, cards are an asset. What if your 5,000-candidate pool suddenly vanished?
Real Incidents
- 2022: A card app shut down → user data deleted 90 days later
- 2023: Cloud-sync bug → some users lost ~50% of cards
- 2024: Phone loss + no backup → 8 years of relationships gone
NameGood's Dual Backup
- PostgreSQL primary — Railway infrastructure
- Cloudflare R2 images — dual-write for card photos
- CSV / vCard export anytime — own your data
Recommended Backup Routine (for headhunters)
- Weekly: CSV export → Google Drive
- Monthly: vCard export → external drive
- Quarterly: mirror to Notion / Airtable
- Yearly: paper printout (extreme-case)
ZDR — Not Used for AI Training
OpenRouter Zero Data Retention. Candidate data never enters OpenAI/Google training pipelines. Without this guarantee, the risk is unacceptable for a headhunter.
Bottom Line
Three questions to ask any card app:
- Can I export the data?
- Is it free of training use?
- Is the infrastructure redundant?
