Until HR requests your academic records, references or anything else that refers to you by your old name.

- jcrites 5y agoI’ve never had an employer request academic records after working at multiple FAANG companies — except perhaps right out of college, but I’m not sure even then. Unless you’re applying for a job that’s high-profile (like VP or C-suite), or in a highly regulated industry, I wouldn’t expect this. Plus you can probably contact your university registrar with your legal name change and ask them to update the transcript to the new name.
- sgerenser 5y agoHireRight background check for 2 different BigTech companies required me to put the contact information of my University’s registrar. I think they did actually verify that I received the degree I said I did, despite that being over 15 years ago now.
