So i am currently updating my CV and since i am currently employed in the company i joined 5 years ago, i am asking myself how i display the name changes.



I don't really want to have 3 separate entries because this will look like i changed the company each 1 1/2 years and in fact its the same company.



It just got renamed 3 times (!).



Would it be okay to just take the current name of the company and display it as one entry? Or will my future employer research and find out that the company i listed just got founded in 2016, which could make him think im a fraud.



Am i overthinking this? Does HR do such extensive research?



I work as a UX Designer (Senior Level) in Germany if that matters.

Yes, just put the current name in your CV/resume.



Nobody would think of "fraud" when they research the company and find out it was renamed, without at least asking you about it first.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
