Apple confirms they reclassify all former employees job titles to “Associate” after separating, stripping the employee of whatever title was held. This data is also shared with 3rd party employment history verification services managed by Equifax, Lexis Nexis and others.

What do you think about an employer reclassifying titles to something generic for job verification?

It doesn’t seem like there’s a point to Apple’s name changing if the titles come out eventually
It would be unreasonable to worry about dealing with a job title discrepancy preventing one from starting a new role (due to HR background verification, which usually happens after offer)
