Not usually,
They might do a google search to see if the place actually exists and if they are concerned they might ask to see payslips.
Usually it is just to confirm that you are employed by a real company and haven't just made something up on a fraudulent application.

, it makes people wonder what you have been up to.0 -
If it is a larger lending company they most likely will check out your credentials. Now the banks want to know more about you before they give you money.0

Also note that if your account falls behind and the company cannot reach you on your home number they may attempt to contact you on your work number.
Personally i'd give them it but ask them to remove it once the finance is active.0
