I'll still have a social security number that won't change, and I'll have an alias and anyone who really wants to find my info will find it even with a name change.
What a name change does is get me off a simple google search. which isn't legal, fair credit reporting act defines very clearly what you are and are not allowed to do to investigate potential employees.
and yet, do you really think I can start any business relationship by telling someone they can't do things like look me up? It's effectively what that is, and it's unreasonable.
The industry is still stuck in a "no one knows what to do about this problem"
can't stop people from googling you. but I can change my name ... but it's not going to stop the ones who look futher. and so far, all of them have.
It's not that nobody knows - nobody cares. The lawyers will always advocate for not hiring anyone "risky". Be that criminal convictions, dismissed charges, or people with disabilities.
