Just also want to point out that freezing might result in certain parties that you do want to verify your employment from being able to do so.

If you're in the process of buying a house, you might want to hold off on this freeze until your mortgage has been approved. Might be true if you re refinancing or buying some else that requires a significant loan.

I'm not entirely sure if what I've stated above is true, but I've had to use theworknumber in the past when going through the mortgage process.
