Universal background check

Hi all!

I received a job offer and with it a background check form from a company called universal background screening.

The form sent to me only asks for my identifying info like my name, social security number places I’ve lived etc. they ask nothing about education and prior employment. It’s a professional office job so it’s surprising that they aren’t asking about these things.

My concern is that I don’t have the option for them to not contact my current employer. Not that I have anything to hide, but my HR contact is also my senior manager, having seen this not go well for prior coworkers leaving - I would like to provide pay stubs W2’s etc instead of having the company reach out to the manager. I want to leave on good terms.

Is the company going to verify my prior employment/education? What’s going on here lol
