Ask HN: How do Glassdoor type websites verify employee status?

I have a neat idea in this space that came about due to my own needs and I would like to implement it as a project. My question is: how do I verify employee status, especially being careful to protect identity and without demanding too much information from users? What is the usual modus operandi in this niche? EDIT: Since you folk are the target demographic, you might also tell me what kind of verification you would prefer. In this particular application I do not need to collect any sensitive information, but I would need to verify employee status.
