Usually you can choose "do not contact current employer" as long as you can prove your employment (payslip etc.)
They’ll still verify directly with your current employer. They just do it a business day after you give your 2 week notice.
You’re supposed to give 2 weeks notice, then the new employer will run the background check for just your current employer a day after so that there’s no surprise. You should already have cleared all of the main background checks by that time so that you can give notice.
Many companies have 2 or 3 month notice period for senior roles. With background checks closer to start dates do people just service notice anyway?
