Do most employers usually check references?If so,how deeply do most of them check?

Answer 1

Some do, some don't - depends on their HRs operations.

Answer 2

It depends. I have had them say they were going to check and never did. I have had them call and talk to all of my references or just one of them.

You have to assume they are going to check, so make sure your references are good ones.

and i'd want to know the reason you left

Yes they do. Choose you referee carefully
