I left my last job on good terms after 4 years and took a recent job. After being there a few months, I decided it wasn't for me but realized that it didn't look good having that on my resume as it looked like I was a job hopper. I chose to leave it off and when asked about my gap I just let them know I was doing temp-work. I chose to leave it pretty vague and they didn't really pry that much.
I was offered the job and they mentioned that a background check would be completed. On the application, I included all past employers besides the most current one. Will they only check with past employers that I have listed or will they dig deeper? I have a stellar past business references, high credit score, no criminal history, good personal references, etc.
The only thing that slightly concerns me is that I pulled my credit report, and it lists the last 2 banks that I worked for (including the most recent). I'm hoping they won't pay attention to those as they could be inaccurate.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNWqV
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

They work from the information you provide. Past employment, they can get from employment records provided by government payroll records. If they are concerned about something in your application, they will pay attention to whatever it is. If someone is looking to find something negative they will check it out. Most of the time they pay a company to do a customary background check and those two banks will show as past employments. If called, the companies have a legal responsibility to only provide dates of employment.

They might talk to your previous employer and ask when you left.
If there is a gap, the may become suspicious. believe me, you would be amazed and horrified what they can find out/.
Listen to me. Taking a job only to have it not work out is nowhere as bad as lieing about something.
Leaving a job that didnt work out simply acklowledges you made a mistake. lying or concealing information destroys your credibility.

Yes they can, and there are several ways they can do that.
1) They can look at your credit report.
2) They can look at employer supported databases such as www.theworknumber.com.
3) They can order copies of IRS Transcripts that will list your employer, where you filed taxes...but this is rare.
