I’m not interested in working two jobs, but can you provide some sort of reference around this?

My last two background checks included no employment info and I was fairly certain private sector jobs have no reporting outside the IRS, hence ridiculous interviews.

I don't think "no reporting" connects in any way to "ridiculous interviews." It is perfectly possible to do a reference call to a company, at which one's name, rank, serial number, and dates of tenure would be verified. That would be as much or more than you'd get from most background checks.

They might be referring to The Work Number from Equifax, which you can check out of, but never leave.
