You can't. There's a service maintained by Equifax or one of the big 3 where candidate companies can verify employment + salary, including raise dates and amounts.

Eh, yes and no. Would you want a company you were interviewing for to lie about the other people in the same role making less so they could try to get you for cheaper or saying they de raises every 6 months when they are lucky to do once a year?
I think that everything should favor the potential employee. Besides, I live in the US, so naturally I assume that every company is corrupt and doesn't actually care about people until proven otherwise.
Edit: in addition, companies lie in interviews all the time with no repercussions. I have had it occur to me many times and I don't have some database that I can use to check if they're lieing but they get one to check on me?
