Rick,
If you are worried about it, can you use Richard on the resume? When you meet someone you explain you go by Rick?

If someone is really diligent, they'll find out, but given the timing and what not, I doubt it is an issue.

I usually google every candidate in addition to applying many other levels of diligence. I once found a candidate who was an electrical engineer working for a defense contractor who had a craigslist ad going where he'd trade tattooing services for pot. His personal email was all I used to search. I would have assumed he's squeeky clean, but you know what is said about assumptions.

Crazy.
